How To Menopause -Take Charge of Your Health, Reclaim Your Life, and Feel Even Better than Before

How to Menopause is a modern, empowering guide that helps women understand what’s happening during perimenopause and menopause — without confusion, stigma, or guesswork. Drawing from her own experience and the expertise of more than 40 medical and wellness professionals, Tamsen Fadal breaks down the 34 most common menopause symptoms in a clear, compassionate way. The book positions menopause not as something to “survive,” but as a stage of life where women can feel informed, confident, and in control.

Fadal offers practical, actionable strategies for navigating hormonal changes, whether a woman is curious about hormone therapy, exploring lifestyle-based approaches, or simply trying to make sense of the emotional and physical shifts she’s experiencing. Readers will find guidance on sleep, metabolism, mood changes, hot flashes, weight changes, libido, skin and hair, and brain fog — all paired with evidence-based advice from specialists, including neuroscientist Lisa Mosconi.

Beyond symptom management, the book focuses on reclaiming a sense of identity and well-being during midlife. Fadal emphasizes the importance of self-advocacy in medical settings, building a supportive care team, and learning to listen to the body with curiosity rather than fear. Her tone is validating and encouraging, reminding readers that they aren’t alone — and that feeling better than before is entirely possible.

Ultimately, How to Menopause aims to help women step into this new chapter with clarity, strength, and a renewed understanding of their changing bodies. It's a blend of personal storytelling, expert insight, and practical tools designed to help readers take charge of their health and live fully through every stage of the transition.
