An excellent book, full of data and some myths regarding that sometimes feared period in a woman's life: menopause.
The author treats the subject in a clear, in-depth, and outspoken way, giving readers facts from female anatomy to real life experiences.
Again, an excellent book that every woman should read.

Perimenopause Power by Maisie Hill is an informative look at the science of perimenopause with knowledge and humor.

A great supplement to your doctors information to get thru the perimenopausal life change.
Lots of great useful information to be informed about either prior to menopause or after.

"Perimenopause Power" is a women's health book focused on the changes that come with perimenopause. The author started by repeating some of the basics about the menstrual cycle found in her book "Period Power." It has some useful information about the changes that happen hormonally and how that causes changes in our bodies and emotions. She talked a lot about each and every thing that can go wrong (mild to serious) and things that you can do about them. This included advice on exercise, nutrition, herbs, and supplements as well as medication. While I agree with a lot of what she recommended, some of the nutritional advice seemed skewed in favor of eating massive amounts of eggs...like 3 eggs per meal. And she seemed to believe the only vegetable source of protein is tofu. Hardly. She tried to be gender-neutral (referring to "people with a womb" rather than "women," for example). While she provided useful information, I felt like this book would be most useful for women who are having problems since she spent a frighteningly long time on that.

As a woman going through perimenopause, this book was packed full of eye opening information and I feel well educated after reading it. I would highly recommend this to all middle aged women to read.

Very interesting read. It is very helpful. And I think all women should read this .
I do recommend this one

Good book with lots of info on what happens in your body and mind as you go through perimenopause. There is so much info here I was not aware of, and the ten chapters each focus on a specific topic. The explanations are detailed but easy to digest. The book has diagrams where helpful, and ideas of things to try.

Maisie Hill’s most recent book, Perimenopause Power, releasing May 4, 2021 in the United States, is a guide for people experiencing perimenopause and includes hefty doses of hormonal health options, dietary/sleep suggestions, and relatable anecdotes from her clients and Hill herself. Filled with details and specifics about the pending hormonal pitfalls (with a glossary to boot!) of perimenopause, hormone replacement therapy and the misinterpretation of study results, why women should keep asserting themselves if they cannot find the health care they need, and acknowledging that midlife is time to stop people-pleasing and accept what is (and not our feelings or interpretations about what may be) were also addressed.

Readers looking for support in the early stages of perimenopause, or prior, might find this especially useful. Also, people curious about birth control methods, and period fluctuations throughout the process. Partners/friends should be reading this too!

Thank you to the author, NetGalley and Bloomsbury USA, Green Tree for the advance copy.

Wow. This book gives a no-nonsense introduction to perimenopause. Any woman in her 40s needs this book. It's packed with straight talk and good information about what to expect and how to deal with it when it comes along.

This was a really helpful book. It’s nice to have a book about it, written by a woman. It gave me some things to think about now & in the future.

I’m so grateful for this book. I am a woman of a certain age, dealing with peri menopause, and trying to navigate the health care system. I wish this book had been around a few years ago when things started for me and I had no idea what was happening. I hope it will be a well-used resource for other women.
This book did a great job of outlining the major issues and concerns, then following them up with chapter by chapter breakdowns. Some things didn’t apply to me but others explained exactly what I’ve been experiencing and I really benefited from reading about my options. That’s exactly what I hoped for when I selected this book for review. It fulfilled my expectations, and more

PERIMENOPAUSE POWER: 4 solid stars

I have reached that age. The one where I seem to be sweating a lot more, irritated a lot more, and craving intimacy a lot more. This book is AMAZING and chock full of information I didn’t know. For example, did you know that menopause only lasts one day and is the anniversary of you being one year without a period? I KNOW! I didn’t either!

The best part about this book is that Maisie Hill doesn’t talk down to the reader, but openly and transparently discussions how our hormones are effecting our bodies and what throwing another layer of going through ‘the change’ can do for one’s sanity.

I highly recommend this read.

NOTE: I was given an ARC in exchange for an honest review. Thanks NetGalley!

Although pretty dense, this is a great resource for people who deal with or will be dealing with perimenopause. I will definitely be referring to this in the future.

Thank you to the author, publisher, and netgalley for a copy of the ARC.

An informative book but easy to read at the same time. Lots of facts and details on this topic that's not discussed enough in society. I like the light humor in the book too. :) Great book to read ...

I received an advanced reader’s copy in exchange for an honest review

I’m not gonna lie, when she open the book stating she was 40 and hadn’t actually gone through perimenopause, I was ready to close it right then and there. However, I appreciated the humor in the empathy that the book doles out along with the facts. Definitely would be a good book for a younger person in their 30s just starting to think about reproductive decline. However if you’ve already enter the trenches and have read other books on the subject, this one may not be as relevant for you.
