Description

Everything You Need to Know About Menopause (and were too afraid to ask) is the thinking woman’s guide to menopause, bringing you answers to all those questions that have been hidden behind a veneer of misplaced shame, bad science, and centuries of patriarchy. 

·         What’s perimenopause and when will it strike? (It’s sooner than you think)

·         What’s happening to my body – and my mind?

·         Why can’t I stop thinking about sex in perimenopause?

·         How do I get my sex drive back after menopause? 

·         How do I look after my body and brain when my hormones disappear?

Muir draws on interviews with the leading medical experts in the field, interlaced with her own tumultuous journey through menopause and the personal stories of women from all walks of life, sharing their varied experiences and hard-earned wisdom.

Muir also questions why the current medical establishment is getting menopause so wrong, as she debunks the myths that surround hormone replacement therapy and exposes the sloppy science and hysterical headlines that have had a negative impact on women’s health for the last twenty years.

It’s essential that we understand the biology of our own bodies during this critical period that will define the latter half of our lives. With the help of a panel of doctors, scientists, and health experts, Muir unpacks the science behind hormones and aging and takes a close look at the different options available for treating both body and mind during the profound changes that take us into midlife and beyond.

What she discovers is that both symptoms and treatment are far more extensive and diverse than we might expect. The menopause is the whole package, and the treatment needs to be too, with impacts as wide-ranging as preventing Alzheimer’s, boosting sex drive, and protecting mental health. 

This ground-breaking guide is a social, cultural, and scientific exploration into a criminally overlooked and under-discussed phenomenon that will affect one billion of us by 2025. It is a manifesto for change, calling for equality in healthcare and an entirely new approach to women’s health.
