If you were jamming to the Backstreet Boys & *NSYNC 20+ years ago, you probably need this book.

This is a must read for any individual who is 30 or older and was born with a uterus. Filled with the latest scientific research and info related to perimenopause and menopause. The information within these pages will not only help you live a better and healthier life as you age, but it could absolutely save your life.
If you're not keen on scientific info, there is a huge section at the back of the book that lists all of the many, many symptoms related to menopause, and the most up to date info on how to best combat those symptoms, whether it be through medicine, lifestyle changes, supplements, etc.
I cannot recommend this enough. I have learned so much. I already booked an appt with my Doctor, so I can have the best possible start to my transition to menopause.

4.5 stars. Ordered the physical book because I need a highlighter and some post it notes for this one. Very useful information. Well laid out.
Of all the menopause books out there, this is the one I never recommend. While her expertise in HRT is extremely helpful, the book is preachy, self promoting and filled with diet culture. For HRT, skip right to chapter 7 and don’t read anything else!
It’s interesting that she relies on so much research for HRT throughout the book but when it comes to intermittent fasting she doesn’t reference any research on the benefit based on perimenopausal women (spoiler- there aren’t any!). But the author does make a plug for her diet book and online diet program.
She also missed the mark in connecting early and prolonged menopause symptoms in black women as a result of the high stress caused by systems of oppression like racism and patriarchy. It feels tone deaf and out of touch.
Instead read The Menopause Manifesto by Dr Jen Gunter, Second Spring by Kate Condrington or The Menopause Brain by Dr Lisa Mosoconi.
This is the book to skip, in my opinion.
