How to Menopause: Take Charge of Your Health, Reclaim Your Life, and Feel Even Better than Before

Good book, entertaining, and easy to read. Provides good and usable advice and tips. It makes this next stage of life not sound so terrible.

This is the first book I have been able to read cover to cover in years! I devoured the information. Tamsen delivers great information in a conversational tone that makes it easy to digest. She covers everything going on with menopause and answers all the questions I had some I didn't even know I had. This book is a guide to making your life better, healthier, sexier and more fun! I've gifted it to my sister and most of my friends. It's my new favorite gift for the women in my life. I won't be gatekeeping this one!

This book is up to date and well researched by an author who is living this experience with us. I was overwhelmed coming into this stage of life but Tamsen's book armed me with the knowledge I needed to understand and take control of my health. I just had an appointment with my gyno this past week and she confirmed everything I read in the book. I even follow Tamsen's Facebook group for this book and enjoy the dedication to helping women everywhere find answers and solutions to what is happening to our bodies and why. My mom's generation and previous ones suffered needlessly through their menopause journeys but it stops with us and the courageous women who are out there doing the work and advocating for us.

So glad I got this book. I even bought it for my best friend. Great info so thank you for providing us with so much information. I feel so much better knowing what’s going on & what’s to come.

For any woman at any stage of life, this book is a must read. Not only is it easy to read but it’s fun to read as well. Tamsen tells her story in a way that makes you want to keep reading. She explains what her journey has been like and it’s so relatable. Not only that, but this book is educational for everyone. Woman and men should be running to understand what it’s like for midlife women. The struggle is real and we are not alone in it. Find your community and share your story and get the help you need to feel good again.

The book had good information but I felt it was more for someone in perimenopause as opposed to menopause. Also, I retired early and although the information is good for women and the advocacy for professional women in menopause is great it wasn’t what I was looking for. It does make sense though as I look back in my mid to late forties how this could have been beneficial to me as I was navigating divorce and a professional life as well as going through perimenopause. More definitely needs to be done as far as bringing awareness to the symptoms of women and giving them more grace. My recommendation is for an early 40 year old or even late 30 year old to read this book. It’s never to early to understand why is normal aging and what to expect. When we are young we think we are invincible.

Just as I instantly ordered What to Expect When You're Expecting when I was pregnant with my first child, How to Menopause has become my go to resource to help me navigate this uncertain and unexpected stage of my life. As someone who refused to take medication or hormone therapy because of my fear of putting anything foreign in my body, I am so grateful to Tamsen Fadal for demystifying all the uncertainty and anxiety that accompanies menopause. In my case, it felt like all the symptons hit me like a ton of bricks - night sweats, insomnia, intense joint pain, weight gain, hair loss, low libido, you name it, I was experiencing it. Additionally, since my grandmother passed away from Alzheimer's and my own mom is battling the disease right now, my biggest fear is I will suffer the same fate. Through Tamsen's documentary, The M Factor and now How to Menopause, I have learned so much about the connection between how the loss of estrogen can impact brain health and our memory and that information alone finally convinced me to start a hormone therapy plan to help relieve my symptoms, while protecting my brain for the the future. Thank you Tamsen for sharing your journey, featuring relatable stories of women just like me, along with invaluable research and advice from leading doctors and health practitioners who are specialists in this field. How to Menopause should be required reading at every doctor's office across the country. Plus, it's a great gift to give your girlfriends who are on this journey with you too!

If you are a woman heading towards menopause - this is a great resource. Not enough attention has been given to this transition time for past generations of women, but now we have a few wonderful female physicians who have devoted their expertise to menopause care and education. This is a great educational resource for all women. Highly recommend.
