Publisher's Summary

The UK's leading expert tells you all you need to know about the perimenopause and menopause.

Menopause affects 51% of the population. Yet despite increased awareness in recent years, so much of the menopause remains a mystery. Here, Dr Louise Newson, the UK's leading menopause specialist, breaks remaining taboos with the definitive guide to menopause. The Definitive Guide to the Perimenopause and Menopause starts with the key facts about hormones, their importance and their effects on our bodies, before delving into family histories and their effects on menopause, the essential guide to HRT, our libidos, our mental and physical health, how menopause affects our careers and relationships and so much more.

Dr Louise Newson covers five key elements:

  1. The essentials: must-know information that is evidence-based and accessible.
  2. Exclusive research and findings from Dr Newson's non-profit Newson Health Research and Education and Balance community.
  3. Common questions women want to know answered.
  4. Real stories: Women share their own menopause experiences—including Dr Newson.
  5. Expert views: a panel of experts in fields including neurology, nutrition, psychology and oncology.

You'll come away with a clear understanding of what menopause is, how it can affect our health, relationships and careers as well as how best to cope during menopause.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

I wish someone had given me this book years ago

If you only read one book on menopause, then read this one. Clear science based facts. Excellent advice. Just read it. Give it to your husband to read. Tell your friends.

A must read for everyone!

What a wonderful book that covers key topics relating to perimenopause and menopause. Louise’s use of research alongside personal stories makes the information easy to follow. I’m feeling empowered with this knowledge and know that I can have conversations about what I will need during perimenopause and on into menopause.

This book normalised and changed my life.

So many of the things I was experiencing were discussed in this book, and it equipped me to have a conversation with my. Doctor that got me the treatment I needed. Will forever be grateful to Dr Newson for her work and this book. Another life changed.

Powerful and essential information

I am so grateful to Louise Newson and her family, friends and colleagues for this book.
As a 51 yr old woman who grew up with a feminist mother I am deeply shocked at how little I knew about Menopause and the wide ranging effects on all aspects of our lives. Am I the only woman that had no idea?!
I am so grateful also to my nurse practitioner who recently suggested menopause as something to consider which led me to finding this book.
For the first time in a decade I feel empowered and hopeful about my future.
I have recommended this book which I devoured over a few days to many other women and will continue to do so.
I have also started using the Balance app which is a fabulous way of easily tracking just where I'm at.
Many, many grateful thanks for all that you do Louise, you ARE reaching women that need this information!
