Menopocalypse: How I Learned to Thrive During Menopause and How You Can Too Menopause and perimenopause are no laughing matter―but that doesn’t stop Amanda Thebe from approaching her 50s with a sense of humor. In this hilarious and personal account, the fitness trainer shares how she lost weight, dealt with her depression, improved her sleep, and overhauled her diet to survive―and thrive―during menopause. Now you can, too! Amanda Thebe was working as a personal trainer and fitness coach when, at age 43, she started experiencing debilitating exhaustion, dizziness, and depression. The busy mother of two boys was used to traveling the world and climbing mountains. Now, she struggled to climb out of bed. After several failed doctor’s appointments, Thebe saw her gynaecologist, who finally named the source of her struggles: perimenopause, the period of 5-10 years before menopause, when a woman’s fluctuating estrogen levels put her at risk of depression, anxiety, headaches, and more ailments related to female hormone health. Empowered by information, Thebe began her journey back to her former self, overhauling her approach to diet, mental health, and exercise. In Menopocalypse, she explains how to deal with migraines, hot flashes, weight gain, exhaustion, poor sleep, vaginal dryness, and mood swings—offering tips that have worked for her and others. She shares information about hormone therapy. She even shares her own strength-training routine, complete with a suggested workout schedule, easy-to-follow instructions, and pictures of herself doing the exercises, so you can feel empowered, fit, and ready to tackle the day. Menopause isn’t fun, sexy, or cool, and a woman might spend one-third of her life in it—but that doesn’t mean women should suffer in silence without support. Let the outspoken and honest Amanda Thebe be your guide to surviving—and thriving—during menopocalypse.

Brown Basmati Rice

✔ A WORLD OF GOODNESS: In a world full of fad diets, quick bites, and intricate recipes, don’t forget about the wonders of simple, nourishing food. We actively seek sustainable sources for our goods, asking our suppliers the tough questions that we know matter to our customers and making sure all our products are 100% GMO-Free. We follow strict hygiene processes to provide the best quality ingredients and have achieved a maximum of 5 Start food hygiene ratings.
✔ Brown Basmati Rice: Basmati rice is a variety of rice that is grown in the Himalayan region of Pakistan and India. It has a light nutty flavour and is unusually long rice that becomes even longer when cooked. Basmati rice is prized not just for its flavour but also for its aroma; like jasmine rice, it has its own distinct aroma. Brown basmati rice is similar to other white rice varieties.
✔ HIGH-QUALITY INGREDIENTS: It’s not only the colour that distinguishes brown rice from white rice! Only the outermost coating, the hull, is removed from a full grain of rice to produce brown rice. This method is the least detrimental to the rice’s nutritional worth and eliminates the unneeded loss of nutrients caused by subsequent processing. Brown Basmati Rice is GMO-Free and Vegan.
