The ultimate perimenopause bible, from pioneering women's health advocate and #1 New York Times bestselling author, Dr Mary Claire Haver

Perimenopause is inevitable. Suffering through it is not.

This is the empowering approach that pioneering women’s health advocate Dr Mary Claire Haver takes for women in the midst of hormonal change. A comprehensive, authoritative book of science-backed information and lived experience, it includes:

  • Clear explanations of what's going on in your body, from changes in your menstrual cycle, energy levels, mood and sexual issues.
  • How and why dealing with these changes now is preventative medicine for your later years.
  • How to advocate for yourself and prepare for doctor visits, including questions to ask and how to insist on whole-life care.
  • The latest research on the benefits and side effects of hormone replacement therapy.



Arming women with the power to secure vibrant health and well-being for the rest of their lives, The New Perimenopause is sure to become the bible of midlife wellness for present and future generations.

'An informative and important book exploring the still relatively uncharted waters of hormonal transition.' - Mariella Frostrup, author of Cracking the Menopause

Critic reviews

I started this season of my life as a member of the “suck it up or risk dying” generation. As a caretaker for my grandmother and mother, I bore witness to the devastation women and their families experience due to the lack of real science and options supporting our health. This all changed when I discovered Mary Claire Haver’s work. Today, I’m a proud member of the growing “get smart and strong” generation. Read the book, understand the research, carry the book with you to your doctor’s offiffice. And join us in demanding the research and medical care we deserve.
Don’t tolerate shrugged shoulders from your doctor during your perimenopausal journey. Get ahead of the issues and your potential symptoms with this important, empowering and scientififically dependable book. The New Perimenopause puts D. Mary Claire Haver in your corner.’
For generations, women have been ignored or misdiagnosed when it comes to perimenopause. This is the comprehensive book – backed by science and lived experiences – that puts information, solutions and ultimately power back in your hands. Read it, bring it with you to your annual checkup and use its clear, direct advice to demand better care.
