Considering I had just read another menopause book I found this one also very good. I really liked the layout and the guidance on exercise and nutrition.

This is a really informative book. It has a a very positive, practical approach and it’s one of my favourite menopause books. This along with the CBT book, would be my top recommendations.

I think this is a great book to read before menopause, as it gives lots of ideas of how to prepare.

It covers HRT treatment and lifestyle. I love the analogy used of the many windows open in a house losing heat, as I think it’s just shows that like many things in life, it’s complex and HRT needs to be used alongside assessing all of our lifestyle.

I prefer not to have HRT, as I’m higher risk for side effects and I particularly found it useful for me.

I listened to Dr Mukherjee on Dr chaterjee’s podcast, which was fab.

I'm now more depressed by my declining hormones.

This book had a lot of information that I already knew but didn't give me any new help or insight into why its happening.

Ie you will experience low mood let's find out why your mood is low long list of reasons.

You will experience fatigue let's find out why list of symptoms similar to why your mood is low.

Basically I'm perimenopausal and my life Is now over 🤣🙈

1.5 stars. Was enjoying the book and finding it super informative until I came to the totally outdated thinking on diet… I stalled, concerned that actually the rest of the book might just be out of date too… I appreciate she is a doctor, but the NHS has a lot wrong about diet and menopause, I didn’t feel it worth finishing…

Good information, well set out. Some information on diet that I didn’t disagree with, but in terms of reading around the subject, this is pretty good.

Had some interesting reading in it but I found it much more simplified than other books I have read on perimenopause and menopause.

Excellent!

[Josephine Olok · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great reference for menopause.

[Louise · Rating 1 out of 5]

Not for me. Abandoned halfway... lots (and lots) of words saying very little

[Ana · Rating 5 out of 5]

A great outline of symptoms and how to address them, be it with HRT or other ways (if HRT is not a possibility for you).

[S · Rating 2 out of 5]

More a book with general notions about what the general public thinks is healthy living (including some outdated advise) than a book about menopause per se.
