Leslie Girmscheid, MD is both a retired Internal Medicine physician and massage therapist whose favorite pursuits include food, cooking, gardening, nutrition, and botany. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) studies fascinated her during massage training, and she found the TCM approach to hot flashes included Chinese nutrition. After trying many inadequate remedies, TCM-influenced dietary changes convincingly subdued her devilish hot flashes. With her interests, and educational background and over 18-year experience as a “super flasher” finally in remission, she developed The Hot Flash Diet™. The book is labor of love—who says you can’t give birth in your 60s?
