Whether it’s sweat soaked nights or red faced, sweaty days, if your life is ruled by hot flashes you’re desperate for relief. With my new book, Hot Flashes 21 Safe and Effective Ways to Turn Down the Heat All Day and Sleep Well All Night, you can once again be cool and dry.

I’m an estate-planning attorney so why did I write a book about hot flashes? Because, like you, I was DESPERATE! When I started menopause my doctor prescribed hormone therapy and my hot flashes disappeared. But after reading reports from the Women’s Health Initiative Studies I was afraid to continue taking hormones. With my doctor’s blessing I stopped hormone therapy but my hot flashes returned with a vengeance. Frantic for a SAFE alternative and determined to retake control of my life, I investigated my options and wrote the book.

21 Safe Strategies

In this easy to follow ebook, I describe 11 safe and effective strategies that reduce the frequency, duration and severity of hot flashes as well as 10 cooling strategies that make any remaining flashes more bearable. And I also describe the classic, time-proven sleep secret method pioneered by Dr. David F. Tracey. These proven strategies have made a huge improvement in my life and I want the same improvement for you.

How These Strategies Helped Me

I established a baseline of the frequency, duration and severity of my hot flashes just as I describe in the book. Here’s what I averaged: 17 flashes a day - 7 of which were truly horrible. You’ve probably had them, your face is beet red and sweat is dripping from everywhere. By following the recommendations I describe in the book, I now average just 7 flashes a day and only 2 are really "horrible".
