It’s not your imagination. Something’s changing and it’s time men finally understood what that really means.
The Men’s Guide to Menopause is the first of its kind: a no-BS, science-meets-real-life guide to understanding menopause, perimenopause, hormones, hormone therapy, and everything else no one ever explained about women’s health in midlife.
Tamsen sits down with the leading OB-GYNs, urologists, menopause specialists, neuroscientists, and more to explain what’s really going on, from the hormone shifts behind mood, sleep, and sex to the science that can actually make it better.
