Mind, Body, and Menopause: A Functional Guide to Mastering Perimenopause & Menopause –
​The manual your doctor never gave you.

​Are you a high-achieving woman in your late 30s, 40s, or 50s who suddenly feels like your body has been hijacked?

​You wake up at 2 AM with a racing mind, completely “wired but tired.” You are doing the same workouts and eating the same “clean” foods you always have, yet the weight around your middle refuses to budge. You experience sudden waves of heat, unexplainable anxiety, or find yourself irritated by the smallest inconveniences.

​You’ve been told it’s “just aging,” “just your hormones,” or that you simply have to white-knuckle your way through it.

​That is the old story of menopause. It’s time for a rewrite.

​In Mind, Body, and Menopause, Functional Medicine Practitioner and Wellness Coach Adejumoke Ladejobi flips the script on the change. Menopause is not a clinical disease or a state of decline—it is a massive biological system upgrade. The hot flashes, mood swings, and stubborn belly fat aren’t permanent fixtures; they are simply “glitches” in your communication code caused by an outdated operating manual.

​Using sweet, simple analogies and a deeply practical, “Do-It-Yourself” clinical framework, this book bridges the gap between complex science and your daily life. You will learn exactly how your nervous system, gut health, and stress pathways dictate your hormonal reality, and more importantly, how to take back control.

​What You Will Discover Inside:

• The Cortisol Steal: Discover how daily stress literally “hijacks” your master hormones, leaving you with zero “Zen” (progesterone) and how to manually flip the switch from “Red Alert” to the “Green Zone.”
• The HPA Axis breakdown: Understand the internal “Chain of Command” between your brain and your adrenal glands, and how to stop the 2 AM wake-ups
• The PFF Plate Rule: How to anchor your blood sugar using Protein, Fat and Fiber so your metabolism burns fuel efficiently and stabilizes your energy all day.
• Medicine in the Muscle: Why your movement strategy must change after 40, and how building “metabolic insurance” protects your bones and brain longevity.
• The DIY Supplement & Herb Library: A quick-lookup reference toolkit to match specific symptoms (from hot flashes to joint pain) with targeted, functional tools.
• The System Glossary: A simplified breakdown of technical terms, giving you the vocabulary to navigate your health like a master.

​Who This Book Is For:

• Women in Perimenopause (Late 30s/40s): Who are experiencing the chaotic “Beta Test” phase of fluctuating cycles, mood shifts and sleep disruptions.
• Women in Menopause (50s+): Who want to protect their bone density, optimize their brain health, and design a lifestyle of vibrant power.
• The modern Achiever: The woman running a business, a career, or a household who refuses to let hormonal burnout slow her down.

​You cannot supplement or medicate your way out of a lifestyle that is actively stealing your hormones. Stop guessing, stop fighting your biology, and download your personalized roadmap to thriving through the change.
