Just What the Doctor Ordered

As a woman starting to embark on the menopause journey, I am so glad I found this book. Entering menopause can feel a little scary, and a bit fearful of all of the changes that are yet to come. I found this book hilarious; it really lightened the situation and made me feel like I could get through it. It was uplifting, and the tone was casual, relatable, and friendly. The narration kept me engaged while providing such helpful and insightful information. Ladies, you need this book!

Honest and Refreshing Take on Menopause

I listened to this while doing some gardening and found myself smiling more than once. The narrator had a friendly easygoing voice that made even the tougher parts feel less heavy. It gave real facts without drowning you in medical terms and the humour made it all feel more human. It reminded me of chats with friends where we could laugh and vent about the changes happening to our bodies. A thoughtful and down to earth guide for navigating a tricky time in life.

Honest and Funny

I really appreciated how this audiobook balanced science with humor. The author breaks down confusing topics like hormones and symptoms in a way that’s easy to understand without being boring or overwhelming. It felt like listening to a smart friend who knows what she’s talking about. I learned a lot, laughed out loud a few times, and came away feeling way more confident about what’s going on with my body.

Empowering, Informative, and Hilariously Honest!

This book was exactly what I needed - an audiobook packed with valuable information, delivered through humor, heart, and empowerment.

so understandable

this book helped me understand what was happening. a mixture of science and personal stories make it easy to relate to. a good read.

A stage of life

Luckily, menopause is still a long way away still. However, it is vital to get prepared early for a stage of life that will have a profound effect on both the body and mind. It was insightful to understand the different stages of menopause and that it is preceded by perimenopause. It was great that complex medical information was presented in an engaging and simple way. I learnt that the body makes three different types of estrogen, for example. This is certainly a useful resource for anybody looking to take the stress out of navigating this new stage of life.

Finally—A Menopause Book That Gets It (and Me)

I wasn’t expecting to laugh while learning about hot flashes and hormone swings, but here we are. This book doesn’t sugarcoat anything, and that’s exactly what I needed. It explains what’s really happening with your body and offers solutions that make sense without sounding preachy. Felt like talking to a super-smart friend who’s been through it all. I’m walking away feeling informed, seen, and a lot more in control of this whole menopause ride.

Hilarious & informative

This audiobook somehow manages to be both informative and hilarious—no small feat when talking about hot flashes and hormone chaos. I appreciated the way it explains the science without ever feeling heavy, and the humor made it all feel less overwhelming. The personal stories and myth-busting sections really stood out, especially when they confirmed I wasn’t just losing my mind. It feels like that honest friend who tells it like it is but still makes you laugh through it.

A guide everyone woman needs!

Well, if you're a woman you're gonna hit this wall at some point and this is the book you'll want in your personal library! I love the way the author approaches this topic. The narration was great too, the voice matches this genre which made this fun to listen to. But really this book addresses all things menopause and gets into the why hot flashes happen, why brain fog happens..but then backs it up with how to fix that or navigate it, etc. This is a book I'm so happy to have in my possession so i can refer to it often!! Highly recommend this one! And if you're a man reading this review....Get this for your woman!!
