What to expect

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

‘We can’t wait for this.’ Red

Menopausing is more than just a book, it’s a movement. An uprising.

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

Was okay and lovely to hear from real women’s experiences but, as with other authors, there was little mention for women who cannot take HRT so, as usual, it targets the majority audience.

So guess what I did upon finishing this book. I messaged my doctors and prefaced it DAVINA SAYS. So now I have patches. And a referral to a menopause specialist. I swear I could hear their sigh, like we are onto them. Holds some power that name does. I have the audio and the ebook so I can search for terms in my ebook when I need some specific. There is no such thing as TMI when it comes to this.

Everything you need to know about the menopause delivered Davina style. It’s a great title not just for women, but for those who support them. Full of heart and humour and it was quite sweary at times, which I enjoyed!
