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

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.

Life Changing

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

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!

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.

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.

Incredibly helpful medical information

Enjoyed all the many resources and symptom trackers. Extremely helpful insights for perimenopause and menopause. If you are just beginning the menopause journey this is a must read.

Finally, we are talking about women’s health!

Thank you for sharing this information by writing this book, and for your social media content. It is the latter that led me to purchasing your book.

Like thousands of other women, I too was given poor, misinformed information during perimenopause, menopause, and post-menopause. I feel like I’ve been strung-along, disregarded, and all alone in my search for better information. I know I’m not alone, but it shouldn’t have been so hard for me to seek and obtain proper treatment and advice.

I recently found help by a wonderful healthcare provider at MIDI Health. They, in conjunction with your information, has made the process of “pulling back the veil” much more palatable. Finally, I’m no longer alone. Thank you, not only for my benefit, but for the next generation(s) to come.

Glorious Menopause

I never realized all the symptoms that stemmed from menopause. Wow! I’m so happy I heard about this book while watching the Oprah special. Love it! I started on HRT 2 weeks ago and I already feel like myself again. Thank you JESUS and Mary!! 🙏♥️

Comprehensive

The book is best in paper copy, for referencing specific symptoms and cross references. Great read.

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!!!
