The instant New York Times and Sunday Times bestseller!

Menopause and perimenopause are still a black box to most doctors, leaving patients exasperated as they grapple with symptoms ranging from hot flushes to insomnia and brain fog. As a leading neuroscientist and women's brain health specialist, Dr Lisa Mosconi unravels the mystery by revealing how menopause doesn't impact just the ovaries, but is a hormonal show in which the brain takes centre stage.

The decline of oestrogen during menopause influences everything from body temperature to mood and memory, potentially paving the way for cognitive decline later in life. To conquer these challenges successfully, Mosconi brings us the latest approaches: from cutting-edge hormone replacement therapies such as 'designer oestrogens' to the role of hormonal contraception, and key lifestyle changes encompassing diet, exercise, self-care and self-talk.

Best of all, Mosconi dispels the myth that menopause signifies an end, demonstrating it's actually a transition. Contrary to popular belief, if we know how to take care of ourselves during menopause, we can emerge with a renewed, enhanced brain—and usher in a meaningful and vibrant new chapter of life.

"If you're like me and find yourself smack dab in the middle of menopause without any real understanding of what is happening to the brain and body you once knew, The Menopause Brain by Lisa Mosconi will quickly become your new best friend." - Halle Berry

"Dr Lisa Mosconi is my go-to for insightful guidance on the brain during menopause." - Naomi Watts, actor

"This book is for all the times women have felt crazy, and been called crazy. We now have proof, our brains were changing, and the good news is ... often for the better." - Alison Daddo, author of Queen Menopause

"For anyone whose brain is not playing nicely during their peri- and menopause journey." - Dr Ginni Mansberg, author of The M Word

"The latest research with practical advice so you can take your brain's health into your own hands during midlife and beyond." — Sarah Connor, advocate, Menopause Over Martinis
