A straight-talking primer for women navigating their changing bodies as they go through the midlife hormonal roller coaster

"Smart, practical, and genuinely funny, this book will leave women wiser, more confident, and laughing along the way.” —Dr. Jolene Brighten, ND, FABNE, MSCP, author of Beyond the Pill

Somewhere along the way, millions of women stop recognizing themselves. We learn about puberty. We’re taught about pregnancy. We hear about menopause. But the nearly decade-long transition in between? Mostly crickets. 

It’s Probably Perimenopause brings together the hormone expertise of Dr. Carrie Jones and the storytelling instincts of writer Carrie Anton in the straight-talking guide women have been missing. No medical jargon. No shame. No endless rabbit holes. Just clear answers, practical strategies, a healthy dose of humor, and the reassuring reminder that you’re not imagining things—and you’re definitely not alone. You’ll come for the answers. But you’ll stay for the moments that make you say, “Wait . . . that’s perimenopause too?” (Answer: Probably.)


Designed with brain fog in mind, the book helps you connect the dots between what you’re feeling, why it’s happening, and what to do next. Featuring:

• Tools to thrive, from building the right care to team to a “menu” of hormone support options to the lifestyle changes that can really move the needle
• A complete symptoms guide, from the common (brain fog, night sweats) to unexpected (itchy ears, frozen shoulder), with a breakdown of what’s happening, why it’s happening, and what you can do about it
• Plus interactive breakouts including quizzes, charts, graphs, flowcharts, and more
