The Naked Truth About PERIMENOPAUSE: Secret Menses Business

Description

Silent and confusing, perimenopausal symptoms can ambush women as hormones begin their erratic descent, when they least expect them -often in their early 40s.

In The Naked Truth About PERIMENOPAUSE, Susanne Mitchell reveals her eye-opening journey through a roller-coaster hormonal retreat and the mysteries behind the transition to menopause.

She explores the relationship of hormones to our wellbeing, including why testosterone replacement is such a controversial therapy. 'I'm not talking about testosterone as in 25-year-old boyfriends, but in the form of a hormone cream that's harder to score than heroin.'

Disrupted sleep, fluctuating emotions and other embarrassing symptoms are often under-recognised and dismissed. Susanne offers context to 'conventional medical thinking' and the very real gender biases women face in the treatment of their hormonal health.

After seeking answers from leading experts in women's health, a whole new world opened up in her search for the truth about perimenopause. She found conflicting evidence and differences of medical opinion, and that there's far more at play than it seems.

Susanne's natural humour and thought-provoking commentary makes this a relatable read for every woman who wants to understand the challenges of hormone deficiency and take back control of their health and their lives.
