Summary

Winner of The British Book Awards 2023 Overall Book of the Year

Menopause affects every woman, and yet so many approach it with shame, fear, misinformation or silence.

Why is no one talking about this? Who has the correct information? And how can we get it?

That’s how this book has come about. We are going to tell you the truth, so you can make an informed decision about your life and your body … mic drop.

For too long, women have had to keep quiet about the menopause – its onset, its symptoms, its treatments – and what it means for us. Menopausing will build an empowered, supportive community to break this terrible silence once and for all. By exploring and explaining the science, debunking damaging myths, and smashing the taboos around the perimenopause and menopause, this book will equip women to make the most informed decisions about their health… and their lives.

Menopausing will also celebrate the sharing of stories, enabling women to feel less alone and more understood, and talk openly and positively about menopause.

  • No more scaremongering: just evidence-based info
  • No shame: real women, real menopause stories, real empathy, real community
  • Honest, no-holds-barred advice: Dry vagina? Zero sex drive? Hair loss? We’ve got it covered
  • The start of a movement: to get everyone talking about the menopause in every home, GP surgery and workspace

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Critic reviews

‘Game changing’ Guardian Online

‘[This] book is amazing; the way you’ve designed this book, from the colours to the cover to the structure of every page and how engaging and unintimidating it is and accessible it feels.’ Steven Bartlett, Diary of a CEO

‘Bracing, brutally honest, sisterly and huggy all at the same time.’ The Bookseller

Huge gratitude for Davina and Naomi -now I have hope

It was my husband to be who first saw Davina’s documentary on the menopause and said to me “you should watch this - I think this relates to some of the stuff you are going through…”

So I bought this book. Listening to other Women’s experiences made me realise I was not going mad, or having dementia and made me feel I was not alone.

Davina’s passionate belief that it is absolutely unacceptable that we should suffer all these symptoms needlessly coupled with a wealth of research and Naomi’s calm and factual appraisal of the medical options has made me determined to get “me” back and my energy and humour and passion for life. I have an appointment in 10 days time. And this time - armed with great information- I am going to be like a dog with a bone ! Thank you both so much and everyone who contributed to this book .

Wonderful book. Can’t listen to the accents!

Wonderful book. Just what I needed right now going into perimenopause. I cried with relief. Unfortunately the stories of other women are told in an am dram style with a different accent for each one and I had to forward through them as I couldn’t listen, I feel like I missed out some key points

Good resource for menopausal women

Written in a very easy to understand way, lots of helpful advice and explanations. I definitely learned a lot about what I’m currently experiencing, definitely needs to be passed on to younger girls to arm them with the facts.
