For far too long we have kept quiet about this subject!) that you can dip in and out of. It’s frank, it’s fascinating and it debunks so many of the horror stories around HRT. It covers the peri menopause in detail too, so the minute you get a hot flush, experience brain fog, feel like you’re going crazy, then you need to read this - you won’t feel so alone.

She also hosted the British Academy Television Awards 2004 for ITV and again in 2006. For too long, women have had to keep quiet about the menopause – its onset, its symptoms, its treatments – and what it means for us. Menopausing will build an empowered, supportive community to break this terrible silence once and for all. By exploring and explaining the science, debunking damaging myths, and smashing the taboos around the perimenopause and menopause, this book will equip women to make the most informed decisions about their health… and their lives.

We’ve got a lot of work to do and I’m SO so pleased that Dr Louise Newson, the Menopause Doctor (who is the walking encyclopaedia on peri and menopausing) is contributing to this book. Louise is a good friend and as passionate about spreading the message as I am; she will also be on hand to provide her expert scientific advice throughout the book. Lisa Milton and her team at HQ share my passion for positive change, I love that, and I’m excited to see where we take this together.
