Drawing on their own experiences and their clinical expertise, the authors bring together the latest research, insights and the voices of women themselves with a whole-body approach that prioritizes empowerment and health. It covers: - Causes of early menopause and POI - When, and how, to seek a diagnosis - Medical and surgical menopause - Hormonal and non-hormonal treatments - Nutrition, Lifestyle & Self-care - Fertility - Sexual wellbeing, relationships and self-identity - Early menopause, education and work Inclusive, compassionate, and featuring FAQs, guidelines and further resources, this book is the only one you will ever need if you are facing the unique challenges of menopause and POI at a stage of life when you least expected it.

Reviews

Women's health - especially POI and early menopause - has historically not been given the priority it deserves. The stories of the women throughout this elegantly crafted book demonstrate just how important it is to design care around them. Informative and essential reading. * Dr Eddie Morris, Menopause specialist and former Chair, British Menopause Society * A beacon of hope for anyone facing premature ovarian insufficiency or early menopause - an incredibly important and timely publication from two of the UK's leading experts in female hormonal healthcare. * Dr Helen Kemp * A wonderful resource for conditions that affect countless women, yet don't receive adequate attention. * Dr Rupy Aujla MBBS BSc MRCGP, founder 'The Doctor's Kitchen' * An excellent, concise book. It has so much practical information that as a GP I will apply in my clinical care, and it's the first to cover cultural aspects around early menopause - making it a standout inclusive book. * Dr Nighat Arif * A must-read, with all the information and practical advice a woman could need when faced with POI or an early menopause. But more than that, it offers support, understanding and the empathy that comes from the lived experiences of countless women who have also confronted this under-recognised condition. * Dr Ellie Cannon * Much-needed - an incredible guide and resource for health professionals and people with early menopause alike. As a cancer doctor, this book will provide me with the confidence to discuss issues relating to early menopause more openly, with a trusted, evidence-based and inclusive resource that will support physical and mental well-being using a whole person approach. The professional knowledge and personal experience that Hannah and Mandy have captured is unique, important and makes this book exceptional in its scope and reach. * Dr Shireen Kassam, Consultant Haematologist and Lifestyle Medicine Physician * Bloody Marvellous! An outstanding piece of work clearly written with great care and attention to detail. Informative and insightful, a true labour of love. Brava Hannah and Mandy, this will help so many. * Diane Danzebrink, Therapist, Speaker, Educator; Founder of Menopause Support and the #MakeMenopauseMatter campaign * If you want to know everything about an early menopause, then this is the book for you. Written by two women who are brilliant doctors, with easy-to-understand explanations and sound evidence-based advice, as one of the authors experienced an early menopause first-hand the book offers valuable insight into a condition that is still poorly understood. I highly recommend it. * Dr Bella Smith, GP Partner (@thedigitalgp @thewell_hq) *
