Appendix F: Acknowledgments

This book was written with deep respect for the researchers, clinicians, and scientists whose work makes evidence-based nutrition possible. Every recommendation in these pages stands on the shoulders of decades of clinical trials, cohort studies, and systematic reviews. We are especially grateful to the teams behind the landmark studies that informed this work: the PREDIMED trial, the WAVS study, the Study of Women's Health Across the Nation (SWAN), the Nurses' Health Study II, the American Gut Project, the Stanford fermented foods trial, and the countless other investigations that have illuminated the connection between food and health during the menopausal transition.

To every woman navigating this change: you deserve better than four hours of medical school training on the transition that will shape decades of your life. You deserve real information, real evidence, and real food that makes a real difference. This book is our contribution to that effort.

Let us keep cooking.
