From the host of Medicine or Myth? and Embarrassing Bodies Down Under.

Night sweats, hot flushes, anxiety, insomnia, exhaustion, itchy skin, low libido, painful sex … Any of these sound familiar? Ninety per cent of women experience these symptoms some time between the ages of 40 and 60, but shhhhh … just suck it up, princess. And nobody mention the M word.
Menopause and perimenopause (the hormonal rollercoaster years leading up to a woman's last period) are among our last taboo subjects. Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) - once widely prescribed as the magical secret of youth - has been shunned by women and their doctors for two decades. Dr Ginni Mansberg, one of Australia's most trusted health and wellbeing experts, is here to work through the evidence and bust the taboos out of the water.
The M Word is all about you and your choices. Are you being offered the best solutions for your menopause issues? Because there are great solutions to help you thrive in this new stage of life.
What happens to your body once key hormones begin to diminish? What are the pros and cons of HRT? Which home remedies are worth a shot, and which are snake oil? Plus, how can you shift that menopause weight gain, what's best for your changing skin, how can you exercise your brain (move over, Sudoku) and why are you so bloody itchy all the time? All of this and more is delivered with Dr Ginni's no-nonsense humour and backed up with evidence-based facts and personal anecdotes to help women make informed choices.

This book cheered me up no end and more importantly informed me of everything women need to know with regards to the Menopause. Have been very low for the last 3 years and with lockdown have felt worse. This book was my ray of light whilst walking everyday during the pandemic. Im 52 and suffered with a majority of symptoms and was told to wait until my periods had completely stopped before HRT would be considered. Well sod that I ve booked an appointment with another consultant and for the first time feel there is hope, I now know what im talking about thank you Ginni.

A must read for EVERY woman

I really liked the book until she got to the chapter on skin care. Then I felt betrayed, as if I had paid to listen to the author's add on her own line of products. She says how it is hard to trust research that was sponsored by the manufacturer of the product/drug in question. Yes, I agree it is hard, so when I got to the skin care chapter it felt that the information given previously was just opening the way for her to sell her skin care products. Why should I trust the information given before? I also looked up the hardcopy and there is absolutely no reference list for any of the studies she mentions. It would have been much more elegant if the had just put the information on her business on her biography.
Overall I felt the book was interesting and a down to earth point to start reading about menopause. The narration is very good and the information really easy to understand.

Reliable information or just a big add?
