In her follow-up to the #1 bestseller The Vagina Bible, Dr. Jen Gunter, Canadian OB/GYN and the internet’s most fearless advocate for women’s health, brings us empowerment through knowledge by countering stubborn myths and misunderstandings about menopause with hard facts, real science, fascinating historical perspective, and expert advice.

The only thing predictable about menopause is its unpredictability. Factor in widespread misinformation, a lack of research, and the culture of shame around women’s bodies, and it’s no wonder women are unsure what to expect during the menopausal transition and beyond.

Menopause is not a disease – it’s a planned change, like puberty. Any just like puberty, we should be educated on what’s to come years in advance, rather than the current practice of leaving people on their own with bothersome symptoms and too much conflicting information. Knowing what is happening, why, and what to do about it is both empowering and reassuring.

Frank and funny, Dr. Jen debunks misogynistic attitudes and challenges the over-mystification of menopause to reveal everything you really need to know about:

Perimenopause
Hot Flashes
Sleep Disruption
Sex and Libido
Depression and Mood Changes
Skin and Hair Issues
Outdated Therapies
Breast Health
Weight and Muscle Mass
Health Maintenance Screening
And much more!
Filled with practical tips, useful information and startling insights, this essential guide will revolutionize how women experience menopause – and show them how their lives can be even better for it.
