Probably the most useful book I'll read this year. Yeah, I'm old. But it's great information to really believe that you're not going insane. #16-2025

The easiest way to describe this book is the say this is the specific ways everyday sexism is used against women and their bodies in the name of science. It‘s pathetic just how many doctors are, in fact, this bad. It‘s even worse to consider that many of these doctors are also women themselves.

GingerAntics The fact that anyone was fine conducting research on breast and uterine cancer, where every test subject was a man is proof that men are not superior at critical thinking. #MayaDusenbery #DoingHarm #audiobook #women #womenshealth #health #everydaysexism #doctors #donoharm 2w

Conversations about menopause are *finally* becoming more common, but we need more of a push in the medical community to study the effects and potential treatments for it, instead of writing off all the symptoms as "just something you have to go through." ⬇️

staci.reads As someone who was put into sudden, forced menopause 17 months ago after a radical hysterectomy, I am concerned about my increased risk for things such as heart disease, stroke, and osteoporosis. This book does a great job of laying out all the issues menopause can cause and the various ways to treat it, including a serious, research-based discussion of HRT. I highly recommend this to all women experiencing perimenopause or postmenopause. 3w

Eye-opening and so informative! I feel so seen listening to this book by a doctor who specializes in menopause (after going through it herself).

A friend recommended it to me today when I told her about the strange, intense shoulder pain I‘ve been having lately. It‘s called “frozen shoulder”—I‘m not the only one!

Prairiegirl_reading When I was 42 I got frozen shoulder. I had never even heard of it! At 48 I had so many perimenopause symptoms that I had no idea to be looking for. It‘s so good to know! 2mo
Karisa @Prairiegirl_reading Right? Just having a name for what‘s going on is good. I‘m going in to my doctor next week and hoping he can find ways to help me manage it. So much pain when it flares up! 2mo
Prairiegirl_reading I had debilitating fatigue, sleep issues, tinnitus, all sorts of things. I really hope you get the help you need. Suffering is not normal! 2mo
Karisa @Prairiegirl_reading Thank you! I‘m going to ask for physical therapy and HRT. If he‘s not hearing me, I‘ll go to my OB-Gyn next 🤞💗 2mo

Ugh I hate that I need to read this 🤣

LapReader I‘m hearing you. 3mo
ravenlee I found this one to be informative and helpful, if you‘re looking for more. I‘m still waiting for the “pause” to hit, but I felt better informed after reading it (not so the Menopause Manifesto, though). Good luck! 3mo
BarkingMadRead @ravenlee thank you! 3mo
peaKnit Amen! I have read it also…and started HRT. So many fun things for women all along the journey lol! 3mo

My March pick for #12BooksOf2024 is Dr. Jen Gunter's latest (at December 2024). I found it extremely informative and well put together.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A must read for all women; for all humans. Why would you not strive to learn more about our species? I didn‘t expect to laugh out loud so much. Not in a funny haha way, but at the preposterousness of the things people believed, and continue to not understand, about women and their bodies. Stop telling us our “issues” are psychosomatic simply because you don‘t know, nor care to find out, the answer!! Such a good read.
