Welcome to Litsy!

My doctorS lack the time/interest/ability to answer questions, so I‘m reading all the things. This book is not only more inclusive of people who experience menopause than other books I‘ve read, but Corinna also does a better job bridging home remedies with medical interventions.

I feel every woman should do themselves a favor and read this book. I feels so validated right now. The quote at the beginning is everything! “This wasn‘t plain terrible, this was fancy terrible. This was terrible with raisins in it.” Dorothy Parker!

What an amazingly empowering book! It is written by a non binary person going through mid perimenopause themselves who has had a tough time of it, and it is very inclusive and life-affirming. I was woefully under prepared for my own changes and this made me feel validated and seen. It also has very useful coping strategies.

I don‘t think the information was particularly new if you‘re somewhat familiar with the topic through news, relatives, friends, etc. However, the book did a good job of compiling everything in one place. I‘m also currently reading Lara Briden‘s Hormone Repair Manual and so far Briden‘s book is more informative than Corinna‘s book. Corinna‘s is really more of a personal experience with information as the frosting. Briden‘s is medical.

I cleared by #bookspinbingo board for February, which if you told me I would at the beginning of this month I would never have believed it. I did DNF quite a few, but I had others that were insanely wonderful.

This is a very readable, darkly funny, patriarchy-critical, disability-inclusive, and trans-inclusive book about perimenopause. A lot is written from their personal experience, but it is also well researched and referenced. The section on trans women is written by a trans woman author. I like that it finishes on a very positive note about postmenopause.

Ah yes. 1960s medicine.

Picking up this book... Because it appears to be relevant to my life, or will be soon. Also, wondering why the hell I'm 54 and still not menopausal. Bodies are weird.

I thought this was a good photo representation of the book 😂
This book is amazing. 4.5❤️
The writing is hilarious, informative, inclusive, and bluntly honest. It is a perfect read for any person going through or fearing menopause.
Get a cat, a glass of wine, some ice cream, sit down with this & prepare for some chuckles while also being slightly terrified..
I enjoyed this so much I ordered copies for myself & a few friends my age. 🍷🎉🍦😭😂

Audio book of the week is tagged and already fantastic - anyone curious about premenopause and menopause should read this! Inclusive and hilarious.

Fantastic! This answered so many questions and spurred on a lot of thinking on my part. Highly recommend for any person with periods nearing the age of 45. Seriously, this book is smart, hilarious and so so good! Finished just under the deadline for #Doublespin #bookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks
