My First (and Only) Perimenopause Book The ABCs and WTFs of Midlife Hormones

A straight talking (and funny!) perimenopausal primer for women navigating their changing bodies as it goes through the midlife hormonal roller coaster--co-authored by a leading educator in women's health and hormones and the health writer behind the bestselling Care and Keeping of You series.

Perimenopause is the time of transition leading up to menopause (12 months without a period). It can last anywhere from 4 to 10 years and is filled with a laundry list of physical, emotional, and mental issues that can boggle the mind. While every single woman goes through perimenopause, there is a surprising lack of education on the subject for women and their health care providers. Bestselling books on menopause prove there is a market but not every woman wants to tackle a text-heavy guide (*hello brain fog). My First (and Only) Perimenopause Book's unapologetic, non-judgmental tone makes challenging information approachable, practical, and even fun to learn. Filled with quizzes, charts, graphs, flowcharts, Q&As, and timelines, it's straight talking, perimenopausal primer by every midlife lady needs to navigate her changing body as it goes through hormonal purgatory.
