The New Perimenopause: An Evidence-Based Guide to Surviving the Zone of Chaos and Feeling Like Yourself Again
When women begin experiencing anxiety, brain fog, joint pain, and volatile moods in their mid-thirties, they are rarely told those symptoms have a name — or a cause. In The New Perimenopause, board-certified OB/GYN and #1 New York Times bestselling author Mary Claire Haver, MD, maps the hormonal "zone of chaos" that precedes menopause, explaining the physiological reality behind symptoms that medicine has too often dismissed. Armed with the latest research on progesterone therapy, practical checklists, and strategies for advocating for better care, women finally have the authoritative, science-backed guide this overlooked transition deserves.
This book will be available for purchase at the event.
