I would highly recommend this book if you are thinking of starting HRT or feel like you need to review it. I’ve been on HRT for 2 years and found out things from this book about my medication that I never knew. The book is written by a very well informed GP. She takes the time to thoroughly explain all aspects of HRT. I feel empowered to go to the GP now and ask for a review of my HRT.

Great little book with all the facts and no agenda other than women’s health. Meno is big business nowadays and great to have a doctor cut through that noise in a no nonsense approach to HRT and the options available. I listened to the audiobook read by the author and it was like having a doctor’s consultation 👌
