'I have huge respect for Kate. A forensic journalist and menopause
warrior.' Davina McCall An eye-opening, no-holds-barred guide to
the perimenopause and menopause written by campaigner, journalist
and documentary-maker Kate Muir. Everything You Need to Know About
the Menopause (and were too afraid to ask) is the thinking woman's
guide to the menopause, bringing you answers to all those questions
that have been hidden behind a veneer of misplaced shame, bad
science and centuries of patriarchy. * What's the perimenopause and
when will it strike? (It's sooner than you think) * What's
happening to my body - and my mind? * Why can't I stop thinking
about sex in perimenopause? * How do I get my sex drive back after
menopause? * How do I look after my body and brain when my hormones
disappear? Muir draws on interviews with the leading medical
experts in the field, interlaced with her own tumultuous journey
through the menopause and the personal stories of women from all
walks of life, sharing their varied experiences and hard-earned
wisdom. Muir also questions why the current medical establishment
is getting the menopause so wrong, as she debunks the myths that
surround hormone replacement therapy and exposes the sloppy science
and hysterical headlines that have had a negative impact on women's
health for the last twenty years. It's essential that we understand
the biology of our own bodies during this critical period that will
define the latter half of our lives. With the help of a panel of
doctors, scientists and health experts, Muir unpacks the science
behind hormones and ageing, and takes a close look at the different
options available for treating both body and mind during the
profound changes that take us into midlife and beyond. What she
discovers is that both symptoms and treatment are far more
extensive and diverse than we might expect. The menopause is the
whole package, and the treatment needs to be too, with impacts as
wide ranging as preventing Alzheimer's, boosting sex drive and
protecting mental health. This ground-breaking guide is a social,
cultural and scientific exploration into a criminally overlooked
and under-discussed phenomenon that will affect one billion of us
by 2025. And it is a manifesto for change, calling for equality in
healthcare and an entirely new approach to women's health.
