This book is written by Dr Louise Newson, a GP and menopause specialist best known for founding Newson Health and the Balance menopause app. Dr Newson brings clinical experience and patient-centred insight to this paperback alternative in a durable hardcover format, offering an authoritative voice on hormone health while acknowledging the broader conversation around menopause care.

The manual answers the essential questions: What is menopause? When does it occur? What can be expected? How can it be managed? Chapters walk readers through the timeline of perimenopause to postmenopause, breaking down physiological changes and the typical — and less typical — symptoms women experience. At least one in four women have severe symptoms that affect work, home and relationships; this book helps explain why and how to get support.

Dr Louise Newson is a prominent advocate for women’s hormone health and a familiar voice in public discussion about perimenopause and menopause. While her work has been influential — from founding a specialist clinic to hosting podcasts and authoring accessible guides — it has also attracted scrutiny, including a BBC investigation and the loss of British Menopause Society accreditation for her clinic. This manual presents information to help readers make informed decisions in consultation with their own healthcare providers.

Practical, empathetic and evidence-focused, this concise manual is a valuable addition to any home library. Whether you’re seeking reliable answers, preparing for conversations with your doctor, or choosing a thoughtful gift for someone experiencing change, this hardcover edition offers clarity and support during an important life transition.
