In her latest book, Gittleman, reveals that menopause is not a medical condition, which needs to be "treated" with synthetic hormones, antidepressants and sleeping pills. It is a natural life cycle women can enjoy given the proper nutrition and natural remedies to control unpleasant menopausal discomforts. She is the author of more that twenty five health and fitness books.

The herbal formulations MenoCare and StressCare help women do just that - and with clinical evidence to back up countless testimonials from satisfied customers, Gittleman feels comfortable recommending them both to her clients and readers. "I have come to respect Himalaya products because they use primary clinical research, Good Manufacturing Practices and quality controls to ensure their products are safe and effective," Gittleman says. "I take StressCare myself and know first-hand the positive impact it has, so I feel secure passing on this information to my readers as well."

With MenoCare, a unique herbal formulation, women can manage mood swings, sleeplessness, irritability and hot flashes. MenoCare contains Haritaki, a natural form of vitamin C which is also an adaptogen and rejuvenative, Licorice, rich in flavonoids - it helps support the genitourinary tract and Shatavari, a well known rejuvenative and natural source of estrogen which has calming and soothing properties. StressCare regulates and balances all of the body's organs and systems for comprehensive health maintenance. It is clinical proven to be effective in managing fatigue, insomnia, stress and emotional unbalance with Chyavanprash, Shilajeet/Mineral Pitch and Ashwagandha.

In addition to recommending effective supplements such as StressCare and MenoCare to readers, Gittleman's new book provides readers a complete low-glycemic diet built on unprocessed, unrefined, natural foods, a revitalizing exercise program and 50 delicious recipes.
