Perimenopause Power: Navigating Your Hormones on the Journey to Menopause by Maisie Hill
funny

4.5
Very helpful book that allows you to navigate your symptoms. The power comes from knowledge - tracking your period, knowing what is happening before and during « the change » - but also from Perimenopause itself. The author explains that the anger we feel at times during Perimenopause is not a delirium. It is simply what we really feel and have no hormonal cover up to ignore it. We. Are. Not. Crazy.
Moreover, this book is helpful because the female body seems to be a mystery for most GP’s so it is highly advisable to have a copy of this book, because it covers all aspects of the 4th decade of a menstruating person’s life. I didn’t give it a 5star because I do feel that there is too much talk about supplements and hormone therapy. But I may be biased here. Hill does talk a lot about herbal medicines too, as well as nutrition and exercise.
