Summary
Random House presents the audiobook edition of Confessions of a Menopausal Woman, written and read by Andrea McLean.
The menopause. There - we've said it. It's a huge part of every woman's life and yet it remains one of society's last taboos. An emotionally complex issue that can trigger a whole host of physical and mental side effects, it's a big deal. So why aren't we talking about it?
Talking about stuff is what women do best; we share and offload, we laugh and we bond over the ridiculous and incredible things our bodies go through. Hearing other people's experiences is what makes our own so much more bearable - because we know that we aren't alone. This is the book that Andrea McLean wished for as she found herself in uncharted territory, grappling with the physical aftershock of a hysterectomy and the psychological fallout of a difficult menopause.
After announcing live on Loose Women that she would be absent from the screen as she recovered from surgery, Andrea was inundated with letters from other women struggling with the realities of the menopause, who were delighted that someone was finally talking openly and frankly about it. Typically candid, and including tips and tricks on diet, exercise and even your sex life, in Confessions of a Menopausal Woman Andrea brings her trademark humour and honesty to a very hot topic.

You'll be nodding along saying, yep slot!
I was dubious about this book to start with, but soon found myself raising an eyebrow, chuckling and thinking, yep, I get that! ohhh my days, yep, I can relate to that! I learnt a few things along the way and now feel more informed about what lies ahead on this next journey of my life. Well worth a read and some top tips and ideas too!

A must read for all women aged 30+
This book has been an eye opener for me.
As I don’t have the classic symptoms of hot flushes, nights sweats and moodiness I had no idea that I some of the other unpleasant symptoms I am experiencing were due to a change in hormones.
A really honest and informative read.
Thank you Andrea

57 year old and feel a glimmer of hope
Been on HRT since 50. Now struggling with other medical problems, awaiting outcome of bloods but this book had given me a new agenda. So brilliantly informative from Andrea and all the medical input and advice from professionals. Downloaded audio so I could listen while dog walking. Have 2 daughters coming up to their 40’s in a year or two and will be putting this in their Christmas stockings. We’ve had to struggle through this as it was never mentioned by my mum who is no longer with us but want my to girls to be ready and we’ll informed. Great medical nutritional and exercise advice. Thank you for making this possible. 💗
