HOW TO MENOPAUSE

Tamsen Fadal

Take Charge of Your Health, Reclaim Your Life, and Feel Even Better than Before

Millions of women count on Tamsen for the truth about menopause and how to truly thrive in this time of life. Her public platform, mission, and messaging are groundbreaking in that she addresses the impact menopause has on all areas of a woman's life. Health and medical, certainly, but also work and career, relationships, sex and dating, self-image, and life purpose -- all crucial topics when it comes to menopause and mid-life but not covered in one book before now. Her approach to educating and helping other women is notably positive and empowering.
An Emmy Award-winning investigative journalist, Tamsen was a highly regarded TV news reporter for decades before devoting herself fulltime to menopause advocacy. After her symptoms caused her to nearly collapse live on-air, Tamsen sought help, conducted in-depth expert research, and found her way back to "normal." But after taking that life-altering journey, she knew that she needed to reach other women who were suffering in silence. So she scrubbed off her TV make-up, let her hair loose, and went on TikTok, where she spoke with total honesty, vulnerability, and candor about menopause. Her video "There are 34 symptoms of menopause" went viral. She now has a community of 3+ million followers across social and her videos have garnered over five million likes.

Tamsen strongly believes that menopause is a time for women to age in to some of the freest, most fulfilling decades of our lives, and HOW TO MENOPAUSE is an engaging, step by step guide to achieving this. As you'll see when you read the manuscript, the value of the essential information and insights contained within is quite astounding. Her journalist credentials and A-list network of leading menopause practitioners (all of whom she interviewed for the book) ensures the content is evidence-based. Tamsen is also a wonderful storyteller and her open and honest chronicle of her own hard-won relationship with menopause and midlife imbues the read with voice and narrative.

Women value her freely and openly sharing her personal experience and breaking the "taboos" of menopause. They value the key information gleaned from her network of experts on speed dial. They value her real-talk insights and advice -- she tells it straight, like a true friend and sister should. They value her comprehensive and integrative understanding of menopause and its impact; and her step by step approach to achieving wellness and fulfillment in all areas of women's lives in midlife. (You'll note from the TOC the book covers: medical, sleep, brain, sex, friendship, dating and divorce, nutrition, exercise, beauty, workplace/career.) They also value her empathy and good humor ("When life gives you hot flashes...")

Tamsen now devotes herself full-time to menopause advocacy and travels the globe to raise awareness and engage with other women about their needs, struggles, fears, and hopes around menopause. She is at the forefront of menopause advocacy and policy development in the workplace, and providing funding certainty for new long-term menopause-related research. Tamsen has executive produced the upcoming documentary "The M Factor: Shredding the Silence on Menopause", a groundbreaking film that will empower and educate the 1.1 billion women worldwide who will be in menopause in 2025. It will premiere on PBS and subsequently screen worldwide. Tamsen was also the subject of this News Nation televised report, by preeminent TV journalist Elizabeth Vargas. Tamsen is regularly in the media- we are attaching here some press/media highlights including UK-specific press. Just yesterday the BBC extensively quoted her in their article "Without support, many menopausal workers are quitting their jobs". Tamsen speaks frequently for major organizations, conferences and events around the world. With her community of 3+ million across social, she maintains an active online presence, including TikTok Live conversations with notable guests like Davina McCall, and releases new videos on social media each day to meet women wherever they are in their menopause journey.

Tamsen has been a leading voice in championing women's midlife health and menopause awareness. She is positive and inspiring whilst also caring and inclusive in all she says. This is why her message resonates with so many women around the world. She is living proof that thriving in menopause is what it is all about.

How to Menopause is more than just advice--it provides a lifeline. Through her honesty, humor, research, and relentless commitment to women's health, Tamsen Fadal has created a guide that is both practical and deeply personal. Whether you're just beginning to experience perimenopause or well into this transition, these words will leave you feeling more confident, more informed, and most importantly--never alone.

Tamsen Fadal is an inspiration. She is a true leader in growing our community, helping to create a necessary shift in the destigmatization of menopause. How to Menopause is the perfect manual on how we can take midlife into our own hands and make the most of this chapter of our lives.

Tamsen Fadal has ignited a movement where talking about menopause and all of its symptoms is not only okay, but powerful and beautiful. She inspires women to not want to just survive it, but to thrive through it. She emboldens women to say "we deserve more"--to be seen, to be heard, and to be educated about our bodies. She uses her voice and her presence to dispel myths about menopause, and she reminds women that menopause is not the end but just the beginning of this beautiful life.

Tamsen has the balls (the menopause balls and those are unbreakable) to smash the menopause taboo in an industry which historically has a difficult relationship with aging, especially when it comes to women. Her advocacy paves the way for the next generation to speak up and embrace the next phase of life in full bloom rather than fighting it.

With Tamsen's book, you feel like you're in good hands from the very first page. It's not just that she sought out the best experts to help give you info. She's the big sister, the best friend we've needed to talk to about all of it. I wish I had this roadmap when I was in my 30s. Thankfully, How to Menopause is here now and decodes all the mystery about menopause--the menopause journey will be changed for the better forever.

Tamsen Fadal is an established and important voice in helping women thrive at the intersection of menopause and midlife. Her high-profile position is creating a new understanding of the possibilities around the New Longevity and how we are all aging in new and dynamic ways.

Tamsen works tirelessly to connect women (and men) to the right information so they can truly empower themselves. Menopause should be a healthy and happy time of our lives and Tamsen is determined to enable more women to enjoy their menopause with her fabulous work.

Tamsen Fadal has crafted a must-read guide for every woman navigating the complexities of menopause. With a blend of personal experience, expert advice, and actionable steps, this book is a powerful resource that empowers women to take control of their health and well-being. Tamsen's approach is both compassionate and practical, making How To Menopause an invaluable tool for reclaiming life during and after menopause. As a physician dedicated to menopause care, I highly recommend this book to any woman seeking to thrive in this phase of life.
