Synopsis

Are unpredictable periods, hot flashes, poor sleep, or brain fog making you wonder what is happening to your body? Are you confused by conflicting advice about hormone therapy? Do you want clear information without fear, hype, or unrealistic promises?
Navigating Perimenopause and Menopause is a warm, practical guide to understanding one of the most misunderstood transitions in adult health.
Jerry Pluck takes readers from early perimenopause through menopause and beyond, explaining what changing hormones may mean, which symptoms deserve attention, and how to prepare for informed conversations about treatment.
Inside, you’ll explore:
• Hot flashes, night sweats, sleep disruption, and brain fog
• Anxiety, mood changes, and emotional wellbeing
• Irregular periods, abnormal bleeding, and contraception
• Vaginal dryness, bladder symptoms, intimacy, and sexual health
• HRT benefits, limitations, routes, monitoring, and common concerns
• Nonhormonal treatment options and lifestyle support
• Body changes, confidence, relationships, work, and caregiving
• Early menopause and premature ovarian insufficiency
• Bone, heart, muscle, and long-term health considerations
• Symptom trackers, appointment tools, treatment worksheets, and practical checklists
Rather than treating menopause as a single symptom or presenting one treatment as right for everyone, this book helps you understand your options, recognize uncertainty, and become a better-prepared participant in your own care.
For anyone who wants menopause information that feels human, understandable, and useful, this guide offers a steadier way forward.
For educational and informational purposes only. This book does not replace individualized medical advice.
