Perimenopause is not early menopause. It is its own distinct biological phase and it deserves its own book.
Perimenopause often starts quietly. It shows up in the brain first, then the body, then everywhere else. Most women are never taught to recognize it and are told nothing is wrong.
I wrote The New Perimenopause because you deserve answers before things spiral. You deserve care before burnout. And you deserve a roadmap for a transition medicine has ignored for far too long.
If you have thought, “why didn't anyone warn me?”, this book is for you. Available April 7th.

From the #1 New York Times Bestselling Author of The New Menopause
We know and love The New Menopause, which is about life after the ovaries stop producing hormones and how to protect your brain, bones, heart, muscles, and metabolism in post menopause.
The New Perimenopause is here to address the 7 to 10 year transition before periods stop. This is not a gentle decline. Hormones fluctuate wildly. This is when many women first experience anxiety, brain fog, sleep disruption, weight changes, mood shifts, joint pain, loss of resilience, and that unsettling feeling of 'I don't feel like myself anymore' long before anyone says the word menopause.
