Description
From two leading physicians and perimenopause experts, a comprehensive guide to a critically misunderstood and under-researched phase of women’s lives
After years of being overlooked by mainstream medicine and culture, menopause is finally receiving the attention it’s due. But one major reproductive health cycle in every woman’s life is still hiding in the shadows: perimenopause.
It’s generally assumed that women suffer the worst symptoms during menopause, but perimenopause is actually the time when women most struggle with an onslaught of invasive bodily changes, from weight gain, hair loss, and brain fog to low libido, depression, and trouble sleeping. The arrival and intensity of perimenopausal symptoms are often not only unexpected but met with a collective shrug by the medical community, leaving women adrift when it comes to understanding the complexity of this biological chapter and how best to address its many challenges.
In Estrogen, Interrupted, ob-gyns, medical researchers, and perimenopause experts Rebecca Dunsmoor-Su and Amy Voedisch demystify the changes women experience during perimenopause, explaining what is happening in their bodies and empowering them with evidence-based treatments. While hormones play a decisive role in perimenopausal symptoms, Drs. Dunsmoor-Su and Voedisch emphasize that lifestyle factors such as nutrition, stress levels, mental health, exercise, and physical health also directly impact their severity.
Estrogen, Interrupted is a book for the millions of women who want to understand the constellation of symptoms they may begin to experience as early as their mid-thirties—and that can persist for a decade or more. Weaving research and practical takeaways alongside moving stories from the doctors’ own lives and clinical practices, Drs. Dunsmoor-Su and Voedisch provide women with a roadmap for reclaiming control of their bodies and lives during this transformative chapter.

This is seriously so informative. It's chockful of all things perimenopause. Night sweats, hot flashes, anxiety, weight gain, hormonal changes, eating, sleeping, breast cancer,, family health history, and things that can help you with all of the symptoms you're having.. I'm so happy I found this book. I highly recommend it to all the women out there who are approaching the age of perimenopause. I'm definitely going to buy some copies for a few of my family and friends.
Thank you to the publisher and netgalley for the gifted copy. All opinions are my own.

Estrogen, Interrupted is an exceptional, compassionate, and deeply clarifying guide for anyone navigating the complexities of perimenopause, menopause, and hormonal health. Dr. Rebecca Dunsmoor‑Su and Dr. Amy Voedisch bring together medical expertise, empathy, and clear communication to create a resource that feels both authoritative and accessible.
What sets this book apart is its balance of science and support. The authors demystify the hormonal transitions that many women experience but rarely feel fully educated about. The explanations are thorough without being overwhelming, empowering readers with the knowledge needed to make informed decisions about their bodies. Their approach never talks down to the reader; instead, it feels like two trusted clinicians walking alongside you with honesty and care.
The book also shines in its practicality. From symptom management and treatment options to lifestyle considerations and emotional well‑being, the authors cover a wide spectrum of topics with a refreshing level of clarity. They address common frustrations and misconceptions, providing reassurance while offering realistic strategies for navigating change.
Equally powerful is the tone of validation woven throughout. Dunsmoor‑Su and Voedisch remind readers that their experiences are real, important, and deserving of attention—something far too often overlooked in conversations about women’s health. Their encouragement feels genuine, grounded, and deeply needed.
Estrogen, Interrupted is not just informative—it’s affirming, empowering, and transformative. Whether you’re beginning to notice hormonal shifts, in the thick of menopausal changes, or supporting someone who is, this book offers comfort and clarity in equal measure.
A must‑read guide that combines medical insight with heartfelt understanding—an easy and enthusiastic five stars.
