And other reviews from women like you on Amazon
You need this book!
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 m gyno this past week and she confirmed everything I read in the book.
A.K. DuBuis
This book is education for everyone
Women 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!
Autumn Lozada
I'd give 10 stars if I could
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.
Autumn Lozada
So incredibly helpful!
Reading it made me feel like I was just sitting back & listening to a really knowledgeable friend. I will definitely be buying more copies of this book in the future for my close-knit group of girlfriends.

This book changes lives for the better
Tamsen did a beautiful job with this book. Every woman needs to read it. The mystery is over and the answers are here. Get the book. Read the book and make the appointment.

Should be required reading at every doctor's office
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 relief my symptoms.
Beth Feldman
How to Menopause is the next What to Expect When You're Expecting!
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 into my body, I am so grateful to Tamsen for demystifying all the uncertainty and anxiety that accompanies menopause.
Beth Feldman
Excellent resource for women 50+!
I purchased this book after reading good reviews, but was skeptical of how helpful it would be. Within an hour of reading it, I'd already started picking up helpful info I had not previously heard (not even from my doc), and Fadal's writing style is engaging, which is not always the case for a nonfiction book like this.
Tracey Smith
Every woman over 40 should own this book
This is the book every woman age 540 and over should own! It is researched - and medically reviewed - in thorough detail. (As one would expect from a journalist.) The information is organized in a way that is actionable - with quotes along the way that make you feel validated.
Nicole D.
Easy to read and relatable
Wonderful overview of perimenopause and menopause symptoms and options for relief. A must read for people 35+. Docs don't learn this stuff in medical school and many are uninformed. Full of science backed information and advice from midlife experts.
AO
A must read for all...not just women!
At 55, this book has changed my life. The perfect companion for women's health. It's a must read.
Teresa Farrell
A highly recommended book if you are not in the know for Peri or Menopause in 2025!
I'm reading this first as a quick read - skimming through what I need to know first. Then, I plan to go back and intently read every page. I'm enjoying and learning from the content. But most importantly, through the book I've learned I AM NOT CRAZY!
Tammy
Great book!!
Every woman should read this book (and maybe her partner also). Great information written in a way that is understandable and helpful. I have recommended it to several of my friends who also bought it and enjoyed it.
Robyn Still
TITLE SAYS IT ALL
If you are a woman heading towards menopause - this is a great resource. This is a great educational resource for all women. Highly recommend.
DestinTart
What a relief!
This is the first book I have been able to read cover to cover in years! I devoured the information. Tamsen delivers great information n a conversational tone that makes it easy to digest. She covers everything going on with menopause and answers all the questions I had and some I didn't even know I had!
Danielle V
practical and relatable
