EXPERT-DRIVEN, GIRLFRIEND-APPROVED • The menopause (and perimenopause) manual that cuts through the chaos so you can take back control of your body, your confidence, and your life, from Emmy award-winning journalist, documentary filmmaker, and social media powerhouse Tamsen Fadal.
 
What’s happening to me? Is anyone else feeling this way? Why did no one tell me about this? 

If you’re ready to feel like yourself again, this book is “the talk” you never had.
 
How To Menopause is packed with actionable steps and evidence-based tools from a team of 42 experts including neuroscientists, menopause-certified physicians, sex and relationship therapists, sleep doctors, and a variety of lifestyle mentors.

Synthesizing research, stories, and strategies in a way that only a journalist can, Tamsen Fadal helps you
  • be your best advocate in a medical system not designed to treat women in midlife,
  • understand the options that tame your symptoms, whether it’s hormone therapy, supplements, or lifestyle changes,
  • implement science-backed strategies to get the best sleep of your life,
  • be able to talk to your partner about sex, low libido, painful intercourse, or how your hormones might be impacting your relationship,
  • embrace your style (hair, makeup, clothes) to match your evolving body,
  • learn simple workouts, skincare tips, and delicious recipes to deal with belly fat, dry skin, and hair loss (and don’t worry, it’s not all kale salads),
  • navigate menopause in the workplace—and much, much more.

How to Menopause answers all the questions you didn’t know to ask, and brings you into a conversation with millions of other women. Together, we can embrace a stronger, sexier self at every stage of midlife–from perimenopause through menopause and into our “bolden” years.


“How to Menopause is more than just advice—it provides a lifeline. Through her honesty, humor, research, and relentless commitment to women’s health, Tamsen Fadal has created a guide that is both practical and deeply personal. Whether you’re just beginning to experience perimenopause or well into this transition, these words will leave you feeling more confident, more informed, and most importantly—never alone.” —Lisa Mosconi, PhD, New York Times bestselling author of The Menopause Brain

She inspires women to not want to just survive it, but to thrive through it. She emboldens women to say “we deserve more”—to be seen, to be heard, and to be educated about our bodies. She uses her voice and her presence to dispel myths about menopause, and she reminds women that menopause is not the end but just the beginning of this beautiful life.”
    Somi Javaid, MD, founder & CMO, HerMD
  • “Tamsen has the balls (the menopause balls and those are unbreakable) to smash the menopause taboo in an industry which historically has a difficult relationship with aging, especially when it comes to women. Her advocacy paves the way for the next generation to speak up and embrace the next phase of life in full bloom rather than fighting it.”
    Laura Okafor Crain, founder of Perry, the Perimenopause Community App
  • “Tamsen Fadal is an established and important voice in helping women thrive at the intersection of menopause and midlife. Her high-profile position is creating a new understanding of the possibilities around the New Longevity and how we are all aging in new and dynamic ways.”

Tamsen is the creator, producer and co-executive producer of the PBS documentary The M Factor, Shredding the Silence on Menopause which is the first documentary of its kind confronting the neglected menopause crisis, challenging societal and medical shortcomings, and advocating for a revolutionary approach to women’s health.  From the boardroom to the SXSW stage to Capitol Hill, she advocates for policies that eliminate the stigma of menopause and fosters a work environment where women feel comfortable discussing and managing their midlife health journey.

After more than three decades as a television news anchor, Tamsen made the bold decision to pivot her career towards women’s health advocacy. She’s the best friend guiding women through midlife and beyond, a one-stop resource for everything they need to know to live their best lives. Equally passionate about health, Tamsen holds a certificate in holistic health coaching from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN), serves on the national board of Let’s Talk Menopause, and is a strong voice in the fight against breast cancer after losing her mother to the disease in 1990.
