EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE MENOPAUSE BY Kate Muir '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.
