Non-fiction books on perimenopause and menopause.
Aiming for books that don't have a focus on diet culture or weight loss -- please let me know if I've accidentally included books that do. Recommendations welcome!

thank you so much! as someone who just entered midlife, I just realized how clueless I am about my own body. do you have any suggestions on which book to start as a beginner?
I think What Fresh Hell Is This? or The Menopause Manifesto could both be good starting places. What Fresh Hell Is This? has a very casual, conversational writing style, while The Menopause Manifesto is by a physician and gets a little bit more detailed about the science and research. Hope you find something that’s a good fit for you!
thank you for taking the time to reply. will definitely try on both of them first 🧡
