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.

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 .

Very insightful and provides excellent advice on how to get the right support. Compelling real-life stories which I’m sure many will relate to. I’ve recommended this book to all of my friends.

Heartbreaking but essential
Not your typical feel good novel but take a section a day. It's a must!
It's informative, has relative case studies and examples of what might be happening to you without you realising it.
Davina has done an amazing job with this book and her Instagram, I've never followed her before but she's done something very special here and to echo her words, this is not just a book just for women!
I'm not going through menopause but I'm preparing. I remember at the time my mum and my friends mums went through it, They were unaware and their marriages (and in my mum's case) her life fell apart. I never knew what really happened or could help my mum through it, I just knew that one day I could lose my mind and not be aware of it so I forewarned my husband (after) we got married ;) It's something I have feared and thought about for a long time and this is the first source of information that is clear, not bias or judgmental, honest and open. Women no longer congregate in communities where they talk about everything and they are being let down by the professionals,
Davina has laid this bare and should be thanked!!!!
Be forewarned it will happen to you whether directly or indirectly, information will help you notice the signs and this book will help you be strong enough to insist on the help you need.
The next step is to get Employers to recognise menopause and pay for treatment (if it's not free) so they keep valued staff and retain talent and really show that people are at the forefront of their business.

Well, I never! Such an interesting listen.
What a great book. I think I’ve shared this with at least five of my friends now I did not know half of what I should know about the menopause. I’m glad I read it and will be encouraging as many people as I can to listen to it . it’s sad that I’m hitting my 40s and only really beginning to understand my own body.
