"Honest and empowering. More people deserve to know what is coming in midlife. This book delivers!" -Kelly Casperson, MD, best-selling author of You Are Not Broken and the award-winning podcast by the same name, Instagram/@kellycaspersonmd

"Midlife Upgrade isn't just a guide-it's a lifeline for any woman navigating the chaos and beauty of midlife. Julie and Pam have done what so many women dream of: they've turned honest conversations between best friends into a compassionate, evidence-based, and empowering manual for this next chapter. Whether you're facing hot flashes, brain fog, or just the need to feel seen, these pages deliver wisdom, warmth, and real solutions-with a sense of humor and a fierce belief in your power to thrive." -Tamsen Fadal, NYT best-selling author of How to Menopause and Documentary Producer of The (M) Factor, Instagram/@tamsenfadal

"Congratulations to Julie Fedeli and Pamela DeRose on the publication of your insightful book, Midlife Upgrade! This thoughtful exploration beautifully captures the complexities and joys of midlife. Your work will inspire many to embrace this transformative phase with confidence and grace. Well done!" -Dr. Sharon Malone, Chief Medical Advisor, Alloy Women's Health, and New York Times Best Selling Author of Grown Woman Talk

"Midlife isn't the beginning of the end; it's the beginning of ownership. This book is a wake-up call wrapped in wisdom. Julie and Pamela don't sugarcoat the symptoms or sidestep the stigma; they confront the silence around menopause, identity shifts, loss, and reinvention with honesty, elegance, and experience. This book doesn't ask women to cope, it challenges them to upgrade. If you've ever been told "this is just part of getting older," this book is for YOU!" -Somi Javaid, MD, FACOG, Founder HerMD, and disruptHER podcast, Instagram/@somijavaidmd

"How completely apropos and timely to read a book by two best friends who discover and nurture each other and their surrounding hive through menopause and yet how shocking that this has not yet been done given the fact that this is how life typically works and works at its best-by listening and learning and an exchange of energy between two people with a shared experience! Who better to guide you through the shite that is perimenopause into the post-menopausal years than your BFF? Kudos to Pam and Julie for documenting the journey that SO many women traverse-the lucky ones have their best gal pals (and a handful of great clinicians) by their side. For the rest, there is Midlife Upgrade!" -Shieva Ghofrany, MD, OBGYN, co-founder of Tribe Called V, Instagram/@gynogirl
