Something has changed. You feel it, even if you cannot explain it yet. The sleep that never quite restores you. The anxiety that appears without warning. The joints that ache without obvious reason. The body that no longer feels familiar. You are not alone, and you do not need to go through this without information that is relatable and clear. Dear Menopause: A Practical Companion Through Perimenopause, Menopause and Beyond is a warm, honest guide for every woman navigating perimenopause, menopause, or medically induced menopause. It addresses the emotional weight that is rarely acknowledged, explains what is happening in your body in plain language, and gives you the tools to finally understand what your body is telling you, and meet it with knowledge, compassion and confidence. What this book covers: Written by Amanda Bedzrah following her own experience of early onset menopause after a hysterectomy at 39, this book brings together personal honesty and practical guidance across every aspect of menopause, including: - Perimenopause and how to recognise it before periods stop
- Hormones explained in plain, honest language
- HRT and other treatment options, including Amanda's personal journey with HRT
- The emotional impact of menopause on identity, confidence and self-trust
- Menopause at work and how to advocate for yourself without apologising
- Sleep, anxiety, brain fog, joint pain and mood changes
- Intimacy, relationships and talking to partners and family
- Early and medically induced menopause
- Red flags and when to seek professional support
- A 90-day practical framework to help you move forward with clarity What readers and clinicians are saying: This book is well written, clear, and compassionate in its approach to menopause. It explains complex concepts about perimenopause and menopause in an accessible, simple and practical way. One of its greatest strengths is the emphasis on individualised treatment. Rather than promoting a one-size-fits-all solution, this book recognises that every woman's experience of menopause is unique. I would highly recommend this book to every woman, whether approaching menopause, currently experiencing it, or supporting someone who is. It is an informative, empowering, and reassuring read. Dr Debisi Olunloyo
General Practitioner with Special Interest in Women's Health In Dear Menopause, Amanda responds to an often misunderstood and deeply personal season of a woman's life with honesty, warmth, and practical wisdom. She courageously shares her own journey of living through early onset menopause, loss, uncertainty, and rediscovery following a hysterectomy at 39. She offers women a thoughtful and compassionate guide for a journey that, in one way or another, will come to us all. Dr Doyin Olorunfemi (PhD)
Academic Researcher in Gender, Entrepreneurship and Global South contexts
