Midlife Health Shifts by Felicia Dunbar

Midlife Health Shifts examines the science behind the significant metabolic and hormonal changes occurring in your 40s and 50s. It addresses often confusing shifts like a slowing metabolism and hormonal fluctuations, which can increase the risk of certain health conditions. Understanding these shifts is crucial for maintaining vitality and optimizing overall well-being.

The book emphasizes empowering readers to take control of their health journey by understanding the science behind these changes, rather than simply accepting them. The book provides a comprehensive guide, breaking down complex topics like cardiovascular health, bone density, and cognitive function into accessible language. It integrates perspectives from endocrinology, nutrition science, and exercise physiology for a holistic view.

Organized into three parts, it first introduces the fundamentals of metabolism and hormonal regulation, then examines their impact on various aspects of health, and finally offers evidence-based strategies for managing these shifts through diet, exercise, and medical interventions.
