Your old methods for dealing with issues like skin care or sexuality are no longer quite so effective. That old biological clock keeps steadily ticking away.And yet you don't feel as old as society seems to think you are. You're still full of sass and vitality, barely middle-aged. But all those minor aches, persistent pains, chronic diseases, and numerous other conditions of your over-forty body demand attention. Are you overreacting to them? Or are you underplaying their importance?Dr. Nancy Snyderman knows exactly what you're going through. She is a practicing physician, the medical correspondent for ABC-TV's Good Morning America, and, most important, a woman. At age forty-three, she is the mother of three young children. She's asked all the questions about your changing health that you have. And now she's written a book that contains all the answers. As a doctor she has an intimate knowledge of the current medical system. As a female patient, she knows what you want from that system.
