Winner of The British Book Awards 2023 Overall Book of the Year ‘We can’t wait for this.’ Red Menopausing is more than just a book, it’s a movement. An uprising. Menopause affects every woman, and yet so many approach it with shame, fear, misinformation or silence. Why is no one talking about this? Who has the correct information? And how can we get it? That’s how this book has come about. We are going to tell you the truth, so you can make an informed decision about your life and your body … mic drop.’ For too long, women have had to keep quiet about the menopause – its onset, its symptoms, its treatments – and what it means for us. Menopausing will build an empowered, supportive community to break this terrible silence once and for all. By exploring and explaining the science, debunking damaging myths, and smashing the taboos around the perimenopause and menopause, this book will equip women to make the most informed decisions about their health… and their lives. Menopausing will also celebrate the sharing of stories, enabling women to feel less alone and more understood, and talk openly and positively about menopause. No more scaremongering: just evidence-based info No shame: real women, real menopause stories, real empathy, real community Honest, no-holds-barred advice: Dry vagina? Zero sex drive? Hair loss? We’ve got it covered The start of a movement: to get everyone talking about the menopause in every home, GP surgery and workspace Davina McCall was a number 1 Sunday Times Hardback Non Fiction bestseller in the w/e September 25th 2022 Davina McCall's book 'Menopausing' was a Sunday Times bestseller w/c 2023-08-21. Review: Informative, educating, supportive book - easy to understand and navigate - Great book from the wonderful Davina who has led the way in fighting for womens' voices to be heard regarding peri-menopause and menopause. A friend recommended this to me and I am so glad she did. Great advice - and very clearly laid out and easy to follow/navigate. I've even bought it for other friends who have been going through this who do not have the most supportive health consultants around them. Even if you're not at this stage yet or you are and not sure where to turn, I would seriously consider purchasing this. Review: All of us men should read this book. - Gutted it took me so long to discover. I only wish I read this 3 years ago. Perhaps if I did, then I could have been more understanding of what my wife was going through. This book explains so much and takes the myths head-on with hard facts, testimonials, and science. I think my reactions to my wifes perimenopause were wrapped up in these myths and preconceptions. If I can take any comfort, it's that the book is filled with families, friends, husbands, partners, and DOCTORS and even the women themselves not understanding the problems the hormone deficiencies that peri/menopause causes. It kind of leaves me feeling some comfort that I got it wrong, reacted ROYALLY wrong, but an olive branch of comfort in knowing if all those others including both many women and medical professionals themselves didn't comprehend the problems, then what chance did I really have? It's time to make right and never make that mistake again. Thanks to this book, I can be a male advocate to other men and one day my own boys, nephews, and friends. Lessons learned and a journey now set out to learn more. Thank you, Davina, and all the women and men who contributed to make this educational resource and frankly wonderful book. High five, as Davina would say.

Ok for a light read.
It’s ok, but I didn’t love the constant chat back to the experience after each person had told their story. It just got a bit boring, albeit honest.

An awesome guide to the menopause
Hooray for this book!! Huge thanks to Dr. Potter & Davina McCall for putting this fantastic book together! It made me realize that I wasn't losing my mind and there is nothing seriously wrong with me, but it is in fact the menopause! I highly recommend this book to all women whether you're peri-menopausal, going through menopause, or not quite there yet! (Some women start getting symptoms in their 40's!). As women we don't get told what to expect, which is so important to know and such a huge change to our lives. I'd been experiencing most of the symptoms listed in this book for over eight years, but my doctor didn't know what was wrong, even after many visits & tests!! This book was such a huge relief for me as my symptoms made so much sense after reading it. It is beautifully illustrated with questions & answers, as well as stories from other women so you don't feel alone! It provides helpful tips, suggestions, recommendations for relief & where to get help & support. I learnt so much from this book. I was then able to educate my doctor after diagnosing what was causing my symptoms!! A must have for all women.
