Critic reviews

“[An] enlightening guide. . . . readers will welcome the affirming tone and the attention paid to less-discussed symptoms. . . . It’s an informative manual on an important yet underdiscussed health matter.”—Publishers Weekly

Useful information! Great to know I’m not alone! 🤗

Sometimes I couldn’t tell if she was talking about herself until she said the lady’s first name and age. Otherwise I now own it to reread! I also joined The Pause. Thank you for this!!!

Many resources for easing difficult symptoms

Loved the way she tackles a difficult subject because the studies on Menopause are smaller and sparse but I enjoyed it, and learned a lot

A must-read for all women perimenopause and beyond!

I am so grateful to Dr. Haver for writing this book and for her presence on social media. Thank you for acknowledging all of us who have been misdirected for years! Beginning with perimenopause (over 10 years ago) I have been to countless doctors, therapists, and specialists, and not once was I offered MHT. I spent tens of thousands of dollars out-of-pocket on a Functional Medicine Doctor and Holistic dentist who removed all the metal fillings in my mouth, and other therapies for my depression and profound exhaustion. I have had many of the symptoms Dr. Haver writes about in this book, but since hot flashes weren't one of them, I was never offered MHT. Thank you for being a champion of women's health and for helping to turn the tide. I see a lot of positive things on the horizon, and I hope this information reaches all the women who need it.

well Needed

This was SO helpful I found answers to questions,I referred to every woman I know! Thanks so much!!!

Life Changing

current research meets lived experience meets experienced practitioners. what an absolute powerhouse book! This forever changed the way I will understand menopause.

Life changing

Must read by every woman or anyone who wants to understand the women in their life. I wish I had known how the symptoms I experienced for the last 10 to 15 years could be tied together instead of having doctors simply brush them off as age and weight issues that could only be helped with another unwanted pill.

Amazing resource for all

As a future WHNP, this book was enlightening and engaging. I am thankful for this book because it will help me to grow as a provider and to help me better help my patients.

changed my life

I genuinely thought I was losing my mind and couldn't understand why my healthy lifestyle didn't seem to make a dent in my well-being. Dr Haver was able to explain the complexity of menopause in a simple to understand way. I'm so excited to know that what I'm experiencing is something that until now, the medical community was not addressing correctly.

Real talk about this 3rd stage of womanhood!

A must read/listen for woman, healthcare practitioners and those that live with or love women. Let’s normalize more talk about menopause!

This book is priceless for anyone who may be affected by menopause.

I loved the details of preventative and treatments with both food and lifestyle and with pharmaceutical aids.
