It's Probably Perimenopause

A straight-talking perimenopausal primer for women navigating their changing bodies as they go through the midlife hormonal roller coaster.

What’s a gal gotta do to get some hormone info around here? Pubescent girls may be given books like Our Bodies, Ourselves or American Girl’s The Care and Keeping of You to catch a clue about what’s on the horizon. But women in their late thirties to early fifties have been left in the dark, with a laundry list of physical, emotional, and mental symptoms and not a resource in sight—until now. It’s Probably Perimenopause is a much-needed Perimenopause 101 that feels akin to an on-the-couch convo with your best (doctor) friend, filled with laughter, tears, and all the feels in between.
 
For too long, perimenopause has been reduced to hot flashes and mood swings, if it wasn't being ignored entirely. But the women who’ve lived it know it's so much more. And so does Dr. Carrie Jones, an internationally recognized educator on women's health dubbed the “Queen of Hormones.” Together with writer Carrie Anton, they’ve created an approachable, evidence-based, no-BS primer to this oft-misunderstood phase of midlife, featuring:

• A roadmap to help readers determine where they are on their hormonal journey, what may be up ahead, and how to get themselves back in the driver’s seat
• Tools to thrive, from building the right care to team to a “menu” of hormone support options to the lifestyle changes that can really move the needle
• A complete symptoms guide, from the common (brain fog, night sweats) to unexpected (itchy ears, frozen shoulder), with a breakdown of what’s happening, why it’s happening, and what you can do about it
• Plus interactive breakouts including quizzes, charts, graphs, flowcharts, and more
