The Menopause Manifesto

A landmark book on menopause by The New York Times bestselling author of The Vagina Bible and everyone's favourite gynaecologist, Dr Jen Gunter.

Description

The Menopause Manifesto by Dr. Jennifer Gunter is an essential guide that aims to empower women through knowledge and dispel common myths and misunderstandings surrounding menopause. With a combination of hard facts, real science, fascinating historical perspectives, and expert advice, internationally renowned gynaecologist and New York Times bestselling author Dr Jen Gunter challenges the stigma and confusion often associated with this natural life stage.

The only predictable aspect of menopause is its unpredictability. Add to this widespread misinformation, a lack of research, and a culture of shame concerning women's bodies, and it becomes clear why women often feel uncertain about what to expect during the menopause transition and beyond.

Menopause is not a disease; it’s a planned change, similar to puberty. Unfortunately, unlike puberty, people are usually left to navigate menopause on their own, burdened by bothersome symptoms and conflicting information. The Menopause Manifesto seeks to correct this by educating women about what is happening to their bodies, why it is happening, and what they can do about it, providing both empowerment and reassurance.

Frank and funny, Dr Jen debunks misogynistic attitudes and challenges the over-mystification of menopause. The book covers 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Outdated therapies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, reassuring information, The Menopause Manifesto will revolutionise how women experience menopause, including how their lives can be even better for it!
