Dr. Heather Hirsch, renowned founder of the Menopause Clinic at Brigham and Women's Hospital and featured expert on Oprah Winfrey's The Life You Want series, offers a groundbreaking, expert-led guide to not only navigate-but truly thrive-through perimenopause.
Perimenopause, the transitional phase before menopause, can feel like one of the most disorienting and unspoken chapters in a woman's life. From hot flashes and brain fog to anxiety, back pain, and sleep disruption, the symptoms are real, but the guidance often isn't. Too many women between the ages of 35 and 50 find themselves confused, dismissed, or unsupported by their providers.

Dr. Heather Hirsch draws on her years of clinical experience to help women understand what's happening in their bodies, and how to take charge of their care.

Whether you're just starting to notice subtle changes or already deep in the hormonal rollercoaster, The Perimenopause Survival Guide empowers you with clarity, confidence, and the tools to feel like yourself again.
