About The Book

Take control of your menopause journey with #1 New York Times bestselling author Dr. Ian K. Smith’s empowering nutrition and lifestyle advice and 50+ energizing recipes from Rachael Ray

Your body no longer responds the way it used to. Energy is fleeting. Your favorite foods cause weight gain and bloating. And no matter what you do, you can’t kick the sleepless nights, hot flashes, joint pain, or mood changes making you miserable.

Luckily, while menopause is inevitable, suffering through its symptoms doesn’t have to be. With the right nutrition, you can stay vital, strong, and clear-headed, even as estrogen dips and the rules of health, metabolism and energy change.

Drawing on the latest research on perimenopause and beyond, Ian K. Smith, MD, shares science-backed nutritional guidance, along with a supportive exercise plan, to tame symptoms, preserve muscle mass and bone density, boost energy, and manage weight.

With The New Menopause Kitchen, you’ll be prepared to navigate menopause with:
  • 55 power nutrient–packed recipes from Award-winning chef and TV host Rachael Ray—including Gumbo Z’herbes, Chicken in Salsa Verde, Lentil Bolognese, and Thai Red Curry with Shrimp—designed to be adaptable for busy schedules and all dietary preferences such as gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian, and vegan
  • A 30-day exercise plan to keep your muscles, bones, and heart strong as you age, with QR codes to guided workout videos
  • 100 simple snacks to support your changing nutritional needs
  • A detailed 10-week meal plan, with a focus on alleviating symptoms like hot flashes, weight gain, and mood changes through anti-inflammatory and more nutrient-dense foods
  • A deeper understanding of the physiological and psychological changes that come with menopause, plus treatments, therapies, and lifestyle interventions proven to make a difference

A comprehensive guide for menopause-smart living, The New Menopause Kitchen empowers you to work with your body—not against it—to cut through the chaos of midlife with confidence and reconnect with a stronger, more vibrant you.
