Menopause affects roughly half the population, yet for decades it has been dismissed, mismedicated or shrouded in embarrassment. In The Menopause Manifesto, Dr Jennifer Gunter draws on her career as a board-certified OB/GYN to change that. She explains, in plain and often funny language, exactly what happens to the body during perimenopause and menopause: shifting hormones, changes to bone and heart health, mood and cognitive effects, and the physical realities of vaginal and sexual health. Rather than presenting menopause as a disease to be cured, she reframes it as a natural biological transition that deserves proper information and respect. The book walks through treatment options old and new, from hormone replacement therapy to non-hormonal alternatives, weighing risks and benefits honestly so readers can make informed choices with their own clinicians. Gunter also digs into the history of how menopause has been misunderstood and mismarketed, exposing the commercial interests and cultural biases that have muddied public understanding. Throughout, she equips readers with the vocabulary and confidence to advocate for themselves at the doctor's office, cutting through misinformation with sharp, well-referenced science. The result is a book that is as practical as it is empowering, useful for reading cover to cover or dipping into
