NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

The author of the #1 bestseller The New Menopause explains everything a woman needs to know to thrive during the often misdiagnosed and medically ignored perimenopausal years.
I’m just not feeling like myself! This is the battle cry of the perimenopausal woman. Though menstrual cycle changes and the emotional rollercoaster that accompanies them are the hallmarks of the transition to menopause, many women with regular periods as young as 35 can also start to feel irregular, with symptoms that include anxiety, fatigue, joint pain, brain fog, sexual symptoms, and volatile moods. This array of symptoms can be hugely disruptive—all the more so when a doctor dismisses a woman’s complaints as all in her head or prescribes unnecessary and potentially harmful treatment.
In The New Perimenopause, Dr. Mary Claire Haver—the trailblazing voice behind the movement to revolutionize health care for women—sets things straight. She explains that the numerous and varied symptoms of perimenopause occur in direct response to normal endocrine changes; this is the hormonal “zone of chaos.”
Whether you have symptoms or not, The New Perimenopause helps remove the mystery around this time of change, putting women in control of their health going forward.
