Dr. Suzanne is a badass and I’m so glad I heard her and Dr. Aviva get along so well on Romm’s podcast. The tone of this book is the best I’ve read about menopause. Real people, real talk, real solutions. Highly rec for all peri and meno people.

I heard about this book and author on Laura Termaine's podcast. There is so little medical information or teaching about menopause out there - we get all this stuff about puberty in high school, but then flail around later in life. And, the sad reality is the medical community doesn't know much either - there's no money in "treatment" so there's no money for research.
This book is definitely written by a California-based doc. She shares her own life and experience, and approaches things from a holistic perspective, but there's not a ton of new information or facts or actionable content.
I started out reading it but ended up skimming by about halfway through. It's not terrible, it's just not great.
