The Menopause Moment: Mindset, Hormones and Science for Optimal Longevity
What if everything you've been told about midlife and menopause is wrong?
For too long, women have been fed fear and confusion about hormones, aging, and what it means to navigate midlife. The result is a generation of women left guessing about their own bodies, misinformed by outdated science, and held back by myths that serve no one.
This book is not here to tell you what to do; it's here to give you the knowledge to decide for yourself because women like you are smart. You'll learn the truth about what happens to your body in midlife, how hormones actually work (without the hype or fearmongering), and evidence-based strategies to feel your best and the power to live life on your terms—in health and with science-backed strategies for your longevity.
Midlife isn't an ending. It's an evolution. And when you understand what's happening in your body, you can step into this next chapter with confidence, clarity, and power.

If you only read one book on menopause, it should be this one. Dr Casperson covers:
what is happening in the body during the menopause transition,
what hormones are involved - with deep dives into testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone as well as the confusion caused by the Women’s Health Initiative in 2002,
the most common health problems women face in midlife and beyond,
and how women can care for their whole biopsychosocial selves.
I’ve read 8 books covering the menopause transition this October for World Menopause Month and this is the most comprehensive in my opinion. Dr Casperson is brutally honest and armed with science-based information but delivers this wealth of knowledge with a healthy dose of humor.
