Written by Dr Heather Hirsch, a certified menopausal medicine doctor, this crucial guide demystifies your symptoms, outlines how to treat them, and explains why doing so is important to your health today and in the years to come.
You''ll also learn how to better advocate for yourself with your doctor so you can access the right pathway of care for you. The Perimenopause Survival Guide will set you up for an easier menopause journey, so you can take back your health and feel like yourself again.
