The New Menopause: Our First Book Club Book!

What was your experience learning about your period… and then about menopause? This was mine: “You’re going to get your period, and it’s going to suck. Don’t have sex and you won’t get pregnant. Also, you’ll eventually go through Menopause where you’ll experience hot flashes and mood swings. It’s also going to suck.”

That’s quite literally it – no real education on my period other than you bleed when the released egg isn’t fertilized. While that is an integral part of the menstrual cycle, it’s just one part. Sadly, I had already had a uterine ablation (burning off the lining of the uterus) when I finally learned about my period and how it really works for me as a woman – that’ll be a different blog post.

My focus now is Perimenopause/Menopause. I do still have my cycle, just without the bleed, due to the ablation. But I’m 46 and Perimenopause is in full swing. Full. Fucking. Swing. It seemed everything need to change at once: my nutrition, my self-care, my mindset on what brings me joy/what boundaries I need to set… it was overwhelming.

I’m kinda pissed. How is it that 100% of women who live long enough will go through Menopause yet there is so little information shared about this BIG life change?? (Also, my mom called it The Change – how ominous.) That’s also a different blog post, otherwise I’m going to rabbit-hole on women losing their power.

Dr. Mary Claire Haver enters the chat. I found her on socials a few years back, openly talking about Menopause after going through it herself. She educates women on this monumental change in their lives, in a friendly & informative way that really resonates with me. She’s shifted her entire practice to focus on menopause. Her first book, The Galveston Diet, has helped nearly 100,000 of women lose their “Menopause middle” and battle menopause symptoms.

I’m so excited to announce that the first book club book for Joyfully Empowered – my online community for women – will be The New Menopause. I really feel women of any age can benefit from reading this book and getting prepared for what’s to come – as I mentioned, 100% of women, who live long enough, will go through menopause.
