A hopeful and simple 3-step guide to ensure you feel your very best through the biggest transition of your life, written by Harvard doctor Heather Hirsch

Are you experiencing extreme fatigue? Brain fog? Sudden anxiety? Heavy bleeding? Low libido? It's not you – it's perimenopause – and this cutting-edge resource from Dr Heather Hirsch is your one-stop guide to surviving and thriving.

Perimenopause – the period of time during which a woman transitions to, but is not yet in, menopause – can be one of the biggest changes of a woman’s adult life, marked by massive hormonal shifts. Troubled by symptoms like hot flushes, back pain, anxiety, brain fog – to name a few – and without any clear guidance from their GP about why, many women are left to navigate this overwhelming season of life on their own. But it doesn’t have to be this way.

The Perimenopause Survival Guide is the ultimate resource for understanding what's happening within your body, so you can make informed decisions about how best to address your symptoms. Written by Dr Heather Hirsch, a certified menopausal medicine doctor, this crucial guide demystifies your symptoms, outlines how to treat them and explains why doing so is important for your health today and in the years to come.

You’ll also learn how to better advocate for yourself with your doctor so you can access the right pathway of care for you. The Perimenopause Survival Guide will set you up for an easier menopause journey, so you can take back your health and feel like yourself again.
