Tamsen Fadal's New Book "How To Menopause" & 10 Reasons It's a Must Read
Menopause can feel like a mystery. One day you’re fine, the next you’re experiencing hot flashes, mood swings, or exhaustion that just won’t quit! For many women, this stage of life comes with more questions than answers, and finding the right information isn’t always easy. That’s where Tamsen Fadal’s new book, How To Menopause, comes in.
Tamsen, an Emmy award-winning journalist, has spent years talking to doctors, researchers, and women going through menopause. Her book is packed with real-life advice, expert insights, and the kind of information every woman wishes she had before menopause began. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, uninformed, or just curious about what’s happening to your body, this book is the guide you need.
Here are ten reasons why How To Menopause is a must-read for every woman in midlife.
1. It Breaks the Silence Around Menopause
For too long, menopause has been a taboo topic. Women often feel like they have to go through it alone, without real conversations or guidance. Tamsen challenges that by bringing menopause into the open, sharing personal stories, expert advice, and clear explanations to help women feel informed and empowered.
2. It Helps You Understand What’s Happening to Your Body
From perimenopause to postmenopause, this book explains the physical changes that occur at every stage. Tamsen dives into hormonal shifts, why they happen, and how they impact everything from sleep to metabolism. If you’ve ever wondered Is this normal?, this book has the answers.
3. It Provides Science-Backed Strategies for Managing Symptoms
Not every woman experiences menopause the same way, but almost every woman faces some challenges. Whether it’s night sweats, brain fog, or weight gain, Tamsen explores evidence-based solutions. She shares advice from top doctors and wellness experts so you can make informed choices about managing symptoms.
4. It Explains HRT and Non-Hormonal Options Clearly
There’s a lot of confusion around hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Should you take it? Are there risks? What are the alternatives? Tamsen lays out the facts in an easy-to-understand way, helping women make decisions that fit their individual needs and health goals.
5. It Tackles the Emotional and Mental Impact of Menopause
Menopause isn’t just about physical changes. Many women struggle with anxiety, mood swings, or even a sense of losing their identity. Tamsen acknowledges these challenges and offers practical tools for maintaining mental well-being, reducing stress, and staying confident through the transition.
6. It Empowers Women to Advocate for Their Health
One of the biggest struggles women face in midlife is not being heard by their doctors. Tamsen provides tools to help women have better conversations with their healthcare providers, ask the right questions, and advocate for the care they deserve.
7. It’s Packed with Expert Insights
Tamsen doesn’t just rely on her own experience—she brings in advice from leading doctors, scientists, and wellness experts. This means you’re not just getting one person’s perspective, but a well-rounded view of menopause and how to navigate it.
8. It Offers Lifestyle Tips That Actually Work
Managing menopause isn’t just about medical treatments—it’s also about daily habits. This book offers realistic, achievable lifestyle tips, from sleep strategies to diet and exercise changes that can make a big difference in how you feel.
Tamsen loves the Maca, high-fiber, and protein ingredients in MenoWell bars. She even offers them to her in-studio podcast guests!
9. It’s Written in a Conversational, Easy-to-Read Style
Medical jargon can be confusing, and no one wants to read a textbook when they’re trying to understand menopause. Tamsen writes in a way that feels like a conversation with a friend—clear, engaging, and reassuring.
10. It’s About More Than Just Surviving—It’s About Thriving
Menopause isn’t just an ending—it’s a new beginning. How To Menopause isn’t just about getting through the symptoms; it’s about embracing this stage of life with confidence, strength, and joy. Tamsen shares how to approach midlife with a sense of empowerment and excitement for what’s ahead.
