Synthesizing research, stories, and strategies in a way that only a journalist can, Tamsen Fadal helps you

• be your best advocate in a medical system not designed to treat women in midlife,
• understand the options that tame your symptoms, whether it's hormone therapy, supplements, or lifestyle changes,
• implement science-backed strategies to get the best sleep of your life,
• be able to talk to your partner about sex, low libido, painful intercourse, or how your hormones might be impacting your relationship,
• embrace your style (hair, makeup, clothes) to match your evolving body,
• learn simple workouts, skincare tips, and delicious recipes to deal with belly fat, dry skin, and hair loss (and don't worry, it's not all kale salads),
• navigate menopause in the workplace--and much, much more.

How to Menopause is more than just advice--it provides a lifeline. Through her honesty, humor, research, and relentless commitment to women's health, Tamsen Fadal has created a guide that is both practical and deeply personal. Whether you're just beginning to experience perimenopause or well into this transition, these words will leave you feeling more confident, more informed, and most importantly--never alone. --Lisa Mosconi, PhD, New York Times bestselling author of The Menopause Brain

At thirty-six, Naomi Watts had just completed filming King Kong and was trying to start a family when she was told that she was on the brink of menopause. It is estimated that seventy-five million women in the United States are currently dealing with menopause symptoms (dry itchy skin, raging hormones, night sweats), and yet the very word menopause continues to be associated with stigma and confusion. With so little information, many women feel unprepared, ashamed, and deeply alone when the time comes.

This is the book Naomi Watts wishes she had when she first started experiencing symptoms. Like sitting down over coffee and having an intimate chat with your girlfriend, Dare I Say It blends funny and poignant stories from Naomi and her friends with advice from doctors, hormone experts, and nutritionists to take the secrecy and shame out of menopause and aging. Answering questions such as: What's hormone therapy and should I be on it? Will I ever sleep again? Will I get myself back? What happened to my libido? Do I need eighteen serums for my aging skin? Whose body is this anyway? Who am I now? Naomi Watts shares the most up-to-date research on how to manage menopause symptoms and tackle the physical and emotional challenges we encounter as we age.

Irreverent, bold, and reassuring, Dare I Say It is the companion every woman needs to embrace the best version of herself as she moves into what can be the most powerful and satisfying period of her life.

Estrogen Matters will change your life.―Dr. Mary Claire Haver, author of The New Menopause

Estrogen Matters was my antidote to the misinformation surrounding menopause. This book should be the bible for every single person going through menopause.―Naomi Watts

For years, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) was the medically approved way to alleviate menopausal symptoms (ranging from hot flushes to brain fog) and reduce the risk of heart disease, Alzheimer's, and osteoporosis. But when a large study by the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) announced, with national fanfare, that women taking HRT had an increased risk of breast cancer, women were scared off, and the treatment was abandoned.

Now, Dr. Bluming, a medical oncologist, and Dr. Tavris, a social psychologist, reveal the true story of the WHI's efforts to distort their data to exaggerate unsupported claims of estrogen's harms. Important updates in this edition include:

• Evidence that demolishes the WHI's claim that HRT causes breast cancer.
• A list of the WHI's retractions of their original scare stories.
• Updated findings on estrogen's benefits on heart, brain, bones, and longevity.
• A critical review of the alternative products and medications being marketed to treat symptoms of menopause.

The New York Times bestselling author of The XX Brain shows women how to navigate menopause successfully and come out the other side with an even better brain.

Menopause and perimenopause are still a black box to most doctors, leaving patients exasperated as they grapple with symptoms ranging from hot flashes to insomnia to brain fog. As a leading neuroscientist and women's brain health specialist, Dr. Mosconi unravels these mysteries by revealing how menopause doesn't just impact the ovaries--it's a hormonal show in which the brain takes center stage.

The decline of the hormone estrogen during menopause influences everything from body temperature to mood to memory, potentially paving the way for cognitive decline later in life. To conquer these challenges successfully, Dr. Mosconi brings us the latest approaches--explaining the role of cutting-edge hormone replacement therapies like designer estrogens, hormonal contraception, and key lifestyle changes encompassing diet, exercise, self-care, and self-talk.

Best of all, Dr. Mosconi dispels the myth that menopause signifies an end, demonstrating that it's actually a transition. Contrary to popular belief, if we know how to take care of ourselves during menopause, we can emerge with a renewed, enhanced brain--ushering in a meaningful and vibrant new chapter of life.

Finally, here is a fresh plan for a new generation entering perimenopause and menopause. With clinical insights, actionable tips, and holistic guidance, Dr. Jessica Shepherd, a board-certified OB/GYN and women's health advocate, redefines how to sustain the marathon of this life stage so you can make the most of your health and vitality. In Generation M, she throws out the old playbook and provides you with an empowering approach to thriving through this change and beyond. Dr. Shepherd draws upon many conversations with leading experts in nutrition, meditation, and fitness, as well as with those living through perimenopause and menopause, who've shared what challenges them and what helps them live vibrantly. In this book you will find:

• Scientifically backed information and advice from a doctor and menopause expert
• Evidence-based recommendations, tips, tools, and personal building blocks for the best health practices
• A guided exploration of new medical research and data
• A deep dive on the safety and efficacy of HRT, including information on what medications to take and when to take them
• Holistic advice on how to ease your transition during this period, including recommendations for exercise, diet, sleep, mindfulness practices, and more
• An accessible yet powerful, and at times humorous, voice from a woman who understands what you are going through

The only thing predictable about menopause is its unpredictability. Factor in widespread misinformation, a lack of research, and the culture of shame around women's bodies, and it's no wonder women are unsure what to expect during the menopause transition and beyond.

Menopause is not a disease--it's a planned change, like puberty. And just like puberty, we should be educated on what's to come years in advance, rather than the current practice of leaving people on their own with bothersome symptoms and too much conflicting information. Knowing what is happening, why, and what to do about it is both empowering and reassuring.

Frank and funny, Dr. Jen debunks misogynistic attitudes and challenges the over-mystification of menopause to reveal everything you really need to know about:

*Perimenopause * Hot flashes * Sleep disruption * Sex and libido * Depression and mood changes * Skin and hair issues * Outdated therapies * Breast health * Weight and muscle mass * Health maintenance screening * And much more!

Filled with practical, reassuring information, this essential guide will revolutionize how women experience menopause--including how their lives can be even better for it!

When Jancee Dunn hit her mid-forties, she was bombarded by seemingly random symptoms: rampant insomnia, spring-loaded nerves, weirdly dry mouth, and Rio Grande-level periods. After going to multiple doctors who ran test after fruitless test, she was surprised to finally discover the culprit--perimenopause. For more than two decades, Jancee had been reporting on mental and physical health. So if she was unprepared for this, what about all the women who don't write about health for a living?

Hot and Bothered is the book she wishes existed as she was scrambling for information: an empowering, research-based guide on how women can tackle this new stage of life. Menopause isn't a disease, but a natural, normal life transition. Why, then, are we still speaking in whispers about something that affects half the earth's population?

Through in-depth interviews with renowned menopause experts and trusted authorities, Dunn peels back the layers on this still-mystifying topic with her trademark humor and unpacks the science on both hormonal and nonhormonal treatments. She provides actionable ways to improve sleep, sex, moods, mental clarity, and skin; details the latest treatments for hot flashes; and explores the best practices to stop peezing (that would be peeing when you sneeze, thanks to your new urinary issues). Dunn's clear, easy-to-follow advice will help you reclaim yourself--and fully embrace life's next chapter.
