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.Who can we trust? Who has the correct information? And how can we get it? It’s a disgrace that we even have to ask these questions. Such an informative book!

Didn’t even finish it. Six months after the book was released, it continues to rank highly in the bestselling book charts.
