The perimenopause, the time leading up to the menopause, is often misunderstood.

For some women, it lasts a few months; for others it consumes the best part of a decade. This transitional phase can bring emotional, mental and physical changes, from hot flushes, insomnia, anxiety and low mood to weight gain, thinning hair, itchy skin and loss of libido. . . to name just a few!

But millions of women in their thirties and forties go through this without even realising they are perimenopausal. It’s time to understand what’s happening – and to take back control.

In The Perimenopause Solution, Dr Shahzadi Harper, a medical doctor specialising in women's health and Emma Bardwell, a registered nutritionist and bestselling author of The 30g Plan, provide a clear, practical roadmap to help you navigate this stage with confidence.

Combining medical expertise with nutritional guidance, this accessible and holistic guide offers the equivalent of two expert consultations in one, helping you feel prepared, not overwhelmed.

Inside, you’ll discover:

• What perimenopause is and how it affects your body and mind
• Common symptoms including hot flushes, sleep problems, anxiety and hormonal changes
• How nutrition and diet can support hormone balance and wellbeing
• Practical strategies to manage symptoms and improve daily life
• How to feel more like yourself again

Expert-led, reassuring and empowering, The Perimenopause Solution will not just help you manage symptoms, it will help you feel informed and back in control during the transition to menopause.
