Whilst this book does contain a fountain of knowledge around the menopause, it excludes a large portion of people who may go through menopause, too. The author is heavily subscribed to diet culture (which I had known had I researched her before picking up this book on a whim) and throws around fatphobic slurs left, right and centre. DO NOT READ if you're trying to move away from diet culture and have a history of bad body image, disordered eating or eating disorder(s).

If you are a slim white woman with all the privileges in the world and are happy to ignore all intersectionalities of marginalisation, then go ahead and read this book. Otherwise, please don't spend your money on something that will actually make you feel worse about yourself; disguised as the opposite.
