Book Details

After years of being overlooked by mainstream medicine and culture, menopause is finally receiving the attention it’s due. But one major reproductive health cycle in every woman’s life is still hiding in the shadows: perimenopause.

In Estrogen, Interrupted, ob-gyns, medical researchers, and perimenopause experts Rebecca Dunsmoor-Su and Amy Voedisch demystify the changes women experience during perimenopause, explaining what is happening in their bodies and empowering them with evidence-based treatments. While hormones play a decisive role in perimenopausal symptoms, Drs. Dunsmoor-Su and Voedisch emphasize that lifestyle factors such as nutrition, stress levels, mental health, exercise, and physical health also directly impact their severity.
