You have been misled about menopause. This comprehensive guide based on the latest research in aging, women’s health, and HRT dispels decades of misinformation.
The Great Menopause Myth is your essential resource for optimized menopause care.
More than simply an end to fertility, menopause is a time when a woman’s health can spin out of control. The hormonal shifts of menopause impact everything from body composition and immune system function to increased risk of chronic health conditions such as cancer, diabetes, dementia, heart disease, and osteoporosis.
If you’re lucky enough to even be offered menopause treatment, traditional protocols, based on decades-old shoddy science and erroneous research conclusions, have gotten it wrong. Badly wrong. For years, conventional wisdom—and medical practice—have told women nothing needs to change in their lifestyle or healthcare at midlife, and they should just white-knuckle the discomfort of hot flashes, sleeplessness, weight gain and loss of muscle mass, mood swings, painful sex, joint pain, and incontinence as if it will all just (magically) go away in a decade or two.
The Great Menopause Myth shows you how to age wise and well at midlife and beyond. Learn actionable steps and guidelines to curate an optimized menopause regimen based on your unique health considerations.

Thank you NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group – Fair Winds for this eCopy to review
In this comprehensive guide, Johnson and Claps dispel decades of misinformation surrounding menopause. More than just the end of fertility, menopause is a critical time when a woman’s health can veer off course. The hormonal shifts impact everything from body composition to immune function, and they increase the risk of chronic conditions like cancer, diabetes, dementia, heart disease, and osteoporosis.
The Good:
Research-Based: The authors draw on the latest research in aging, women’s health, and hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
Empowering: The book encourages women to take control of their health during menopause.
Holistic Approach: It covers nutrition, exercise, sleep hygiene, and often-overlooked systems like thyroid health and gut health.
The Not-So-Good:
Inconsistencies: Some parts of the guide lack cohesion.
Treatment Options: The book discusses HRT but doesn’t delve deeply into the nuances of different approaches.
Overall, “The Great Menopause Myth” serves as an essential resource for women navigating midlife hormonal changes. While it has its flaws, it provides actionable steps for optimising menopause care.

The first part of this book is all the ways your body and mind will start to break down and fail in great detail once you lose estrogen and progesterone, and was such a depressing slog that I COULD NOT get past it before the book was due at the library. I'm sure there's good information in here, but the way it's organized by front loading all the downer info was a turn-off.

Good information and definitely full of things dispelling previous “facts.” Will be handing it off to my sister as there is an entire chapter for people who cannot do HRT.
