by Tamsen Fadal (Author), Lisa Mosconi (Foreword by)

EXPERT-DRIVEN, GIRLFRIEND-APPROVED - The menopause (and perimenopause) manual that cuts through the chaos so you can take back control of your body, your confidence, and your life, from Emmy award-winning journalist, documentary filmmaker, and social media powerhouse Tamsen Fadal.
What's happening to me? Is anyone else feeling this way? Why did no one tell me about this?
If you're ready to feel like yourself again, this book is "the talk" you never had.

How To Menopause is packed with actionable steps and evidence-based tools from a team of 42 experts including neuroscientists, menopause-certified physicians, sex and relationship therapists, sleep doctors, and a variety of lifestyle mentors.

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 answers all the questions you didn't know to ask, and brings you into a conversation with millions of other women. Together, we can embrace a stronger, sexier self at every stage of midlife-from perimenopause through menopause and into our "bolden" years.

"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
