This is an incredible, thorough, and authoritative resource about perimenopause. It's cohesive and well researched. I loved how she immediately addressed the controversy surrounding hormone replacement therapy and explained what the research actually said, how they came to the conclusion they did, but also clearly explained how the results were misinterpreted and misrepresented.

She addresses many of the issues facing people who will go through menopause, including a nearly exhaustive list of symptoms, how to manage them, and potential therapies to reduce their impact. There is no alarmist exaggeration, just clear and concise guidance. She discusses different hormone replacement therapies, including risks and benefits of each, indications, contraindications, and alternatives. She discusses different lifestyle changes and their impact on menopause symptoms. 

There is no shaming, no guilt. She does reference her other book about her diet and exercise plan, but it isn't aggressive sales. 

I listened to the audiobook from the library, but I am seriously considering buying a physical copy. I'm still likely a few years away from early perimenopause, but I know this will serve as a fantastic resource once I reach that phase of my life. 

I cannot recommended this book enough for anyone who is going to go through menopause. 

Yikes this makes me nervous for menopause but I feel a bit more prepared about resources now than before reading. Very pro-HRT. The author has a specific diet/supplements that she promotes, but overall a helpful resource.

I'm recommending this to all of my female friends. Educational in a really accessible way. And although the author has products, she sprinkles them in lightly; it doesn't read like a long advertisement.

This book is very important for those who are in perimenopause or menopause and the research is great…but I was so fucking bored reading this and I’m usually not bored reading this kind of thing - which makes me feel kind of bad…
