Description
EXPERT-DRIVEN, GIRLFRIEND-APPROVED - The menopause manual that cuts through the chaos so you can take back control of your body, your confidence, and your life, from Emmy award-winning journalist, documentary filmmaker, and social media powerhouse Tamsen Fadal.
What's happening to me? Is anyone else feeling this way? Why did no one tell me about this?
If you're ready to feel like yourself again, this book is "the talk" you never had.
How To Menopause is packed with actionable steps and evidence-based tools from a team of 42 experts including neuroscientists, menopause-certified physicians, sex and relationship therapists, sleep doctors, and a variety of lifestyle mentors.
Synthesizing research, stories, and strategies in a way that only an investigative journalist can, Tamsen Fadal helps you
- be your best advocate in a medical system not designed to treat women in midlife,
- understand the options that tame your symptoms, whether it's hormone therapy, supplements, or lifestyle changes,
- have science-backed strategies to get the best sleep of your life,
- be able to talk to your partner about sex, low libido, painful intercourse, or how your hormones might be impacting your relationship,
- update your style (hair, makeup, clothes) to match your changing body,
- learn simple workouts, skincare tips, and delicious recipes to deal with belly fat, dry skin, and hair loss (and don't worry, it's not all kale salads)--and much, much more.
How to Menopause answers all the questions you've been too nervous to ask, and brings you into a conversation with millions of other women. Together, we can embrace a stronger, sexier self at every stage of midlife-from perimenopause through menopause and into our "bolden" years.
"How to Menopause is more than just advice--it provides a lifeline. Through her honesty, humor, research, and relentless commitment to women's health, Tamsen Fadal has created a guide that is both practical and deeply personal. Whether you're just beginning to experience perimenopause or well into this transition, these words will leave you feeling more confident, more informed, and most importantly--never alone." --Lisa Mosconi, PhD, New York Times bestselling author of The Menopause Brain

Person
Tamsen Fadal is an Emmy award-winning journalist, documentary filmmaker, and menopause advocate. Known as social media's midlife mentor, her candor and relatability have established her as a leading voice in the menopause space with a passionate, loyal social media audience of 3+ million.
Tamsen is the creator, producer and co-executive producer of the PBS documentary The M Factor, Shredding the Silence on Menopause which is the first documentary of its kind confronting the neglected menopause crisis, challenging societal and medical shortcomings, and advocating for a revolutionary approach to women's health. From the boardroom to the SXSW stage to Capitol Hill, she advocates for policies that eliminate the stigma of menopause and fosters a work environment where women feel comfortable discussing and managing their midlife health journey.
After more than three decades as a television news anchor, Tamsen made the bold decision to pivot her career towards women's health advocacy. She's the best friend guiding women through midlife and beyond, a one-stop resource for everything they need to know to live their best lives. Equally passionate about health, Tamsen holds a certificate in holistic health coaching from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN), serves on the national board of Let's Talk Menopause, and is a strong voice in the fight against breast cancer after losing her mother to the disease in 1990.
Her regular appearances in media outlets include Oprah Daily, The Today Show, The New York Times, and The Harvard Business Review.
