The Essential Book for Every Woman Over 35

You're in the prime of life. As far as you know, menopause could be years away. So why is your body sending you such weird messages?

- How perimenopause affects fertility -- and what to do if you want to get pregnant

- How your skin, hair, and nails reflect deeper changes -- and how to make them vibrant again
