Da Book Joint is excited to welcome Dr. Ian K. Smith, #1 New York Times bestselling author and physician, for an afternoon celebrating his newest book, The New Menopause Kitchen.

Menopause is inevitable—but suffering through its symptoms doesn't have to be.

In The New Menopause Kitchen, Dr. Smith combines science-backed nutrition and lifestyle guidance with practical strategies designed to help women navigate the physical and emotional changes of perimenopause and menopause with greater confidence.

Drawing on the latest research, Dr. Smith explores how nutrition, movement, and everyday lifestyle choices can support energy, manage weight, preserve muscle and bone density, and help address common symptoms such as hot flashes, sleep changes, mood shifts, bloating, and joint discomfort.

The book features 55 nutrient-packed recipes from award-winning chef and television host Rachael Ray, 100 simple snacks, a detailed 10-week meal plan, and a 30-day exercise plan with guided workout videos. Recipes are adaptable for a variety of dietary preferences, including gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian, and vegan lifestyles.

Dr. Ian K. Smith is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Shred: The Revolutionary Diet, Super Shred: The Big Results Diet, Blast the Sugar Out!, The Clean 20, and many other books. He is also the award-winning novelist behind The Blackbird Papers, The Ancient Nine, and the Ashe Cayne series, including The Unspoken, Wolf Point, The Overnights, Eagle Rock, and Beyond Midnight.

Chicago native and 17-time Emmy Award-winning veteran anchor, Cheryl Burton, anchors two of the No. 1 rated newscasts in Chicago. Burton anchors the ABC 7 Eyewitness News at 5 p.m. and, in June 2018, was promoted from contributing anchor to anchor of the station's 10 p.m. newscast. She also anchors ABC 7's 6:30 p.m. digital newscast that streams live on ABC 7's connected TV Apps and on abc7chicago.com. She joined ABC 7, the most watched station in Chicago, in 1992 as a weekend co-anchor and reporter.
