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

Many resources for easing difficult symptoms

Loved the way she tackles a difficult subject because the studies on Menopause are smaller and sparse but I enjoyed it, and learned a lot

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.

Toolkit PDF?

Wish the audiobook came with the supplement pdf’s spoken about in the book. Otherwise, it is a great resource.

What You Don’t Know About Menopause

Everything you thought you knew about menopause and more. The most comprehensive list of symptoms and what to do about them I have encountered.

 Incredible informative. I am not crazy.

I found this book after joining many Facebook groups. It made me realize I am not crazy I’m just in menopause - I now have the tools to figure out where I need to go from here to complement all the research I’ve already done but still felt so lost. Thank you. You’re giving us all hope and a path to go down - well maybe up from here I know I will be - I’m Postmenopause and finally got started on estradiol cream hoping to be better soon or at least somewhat normal or a new normal - at least I know I am not crazy. I was right all along. 

RN Recommended

As a nurse going through peri-menopause, I ate this book up! It was SO informative. And you do not have to have a healthcare background to understand what Dr. Haver is talking about. She does a remarkable job at explaining, defining, and educating to any listener. I just met with my primary to update her on this book - we are about the same age and she is going to read it too - and she agrees I should be on hormone replacement due to my symptoms. Next up, appointment with my gynecologist. I cannot wait to start MHT and start feeling more in control of myself again.

Must read for everyone

As a menopausal woman and a physician you inspired me to become a certified menopause practitioner to help others in this journey to live as healthy as possible and maintain good quality of life.

Most comprehensive book on menopause ever!

Should be required reading for every woman over 35! This information has not been available to woman until now!

A MUST read for women!

Cannot say enough about how amazing this book is. It is full of evidence based information to help women navigate their way through menopause. I feel heard and hopeful!
