EXPERT-DRIVEN, GIRLFRIEND-APPROVED – The menopause 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 an investigative 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,
– have 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,
update your style (hair, makeup, clothes) to match your changing 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)–and much, much more.

How to Menopause answers all the questions you’ve been too nervous 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

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.

Tamsen Fadal has crafted a must-read guide for every woman navigating the complexities of menopause. With a blend of personal experience, expert advice, and actionable steps, this book is a powerful resource that empowers women to take control of their health and well-being. Tamsen's approach is both compassionate and practical, making How To Menopause an invaluable tool for reclaiming life during and after menopause. As a physician dedicated to menopause care, I highly recommend this book to any woman seeking to thrive in this phase of life.
Mary Claire Haver, MD, New York Times bestselling author of The New Menopause
Tamsen Fadal has ignited a movement where talking about menopause and all of its symptoms is not only okay, but powerful and beautiful. 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.
