Sheila de Liz: Never Better: All About the Famous Menopause
I live in a time like never before where we women are in good shape longer, healthier longer and ageing more gracefully than ever before in human history. Today, women in their prime, with numerous tasks, form the backbone of their communities. But even though we look and feel much younger than our mothers and grandmothers did at our age, medicine's attitude towards climax is still outdated.
In other words: we have modernized, and medicine keeps up. In addition, we lack a complete model of informing and enlightening women over forty years old. Current approaches to climax are at a similar level to information about menstruation in the 1950s. Symptoms are discussed quietly, behind closed doors. Hot flashes, weight gain, mood swings - many women today suffer unnecessarily, and according to the most famous German gynecologist Sheila de Lis, it doesn't have to be that way. Once the symptoms are recognized, there's a lot we can do for our health and well-being - and still feel strong and sexy in the second half of life.
"Dr. Sheila de Lis provides information about what happens to the body at its peak, talks about our biggest fears, like atrophy or incontinence. She's also interested in what the changes mean for women and how we can best respond to them." – Deutschlandfunk Kultur
