"Menopause is the dark matter of modern medicine, until now almost totally neglected. This book shrugs off generations of silence and stigma. It's confessional, scientifically accurate and extremely funny. It's for anyone who will experience menopause themselves or who knows someone who will . . . so that's basically everyone." --Dr Chris van Tulleken, author of Ultra-Processed People

"Optimistic, hilarious and informative. A rallying cry for women to love and look after themselves at any age. --Susannah Constantine, author of Ready for Absolutely Nothing

"This book is nothing short of revolutionary! Finally, some validation for women who've been swirling around aimlessly seeking answers in tomes of patriarchal gibberish. This book arrives at exactly the right time; a guidebook for that stage in life, previously only surviving in shadows and whispers. MENOPAUSE, at long last: a badge of honor." --Naomi Watts

"A fresh, insightful take and a great read." --Helen Fielding, author of Bridget Jones's Diary

"Essential reading for everyone." --Marian Keyes

"With a touch of humor and a combination of anecdotes from their own experiences and science-backed advice from leading experts, this book opens up the conversation. It's designed to equip readers with the knowledge they need to get through perimenopause and beyond." --Oprah Daily
