The Menopause Manifesto by Dr. Jen Gunter
Since menopause is a big topic around here, this is a new book that answers a lot of your questions. The author is an OB-GYN who debunks a lot of myths about HRT, diet and exercise, various treatments (like progesterone cream - avoid) and so on. Also she points out that a lot of symptoms women blame on menopause are just things that come along with aging - old men get senior moments, gain weight and have to slow down too! I'm not done reading but it's very fascinating.

Dr. Jen talks about MTHFR testing which isn't mentioned in the book, but is commonly sold to women: https://vajenda.substack.com/p/mthfr...g-and-estrogen

I had genetic testing a couple of years ago and I'm compound heterozygous for both MTHFR genes. And I can tell you that I have nothing but problems with estrogen, either high or low. Puberty was horrible, being on the pill was horrible, being pregnant was horrible, the year after giving birth was horrible, and now perimenopause has been the absolute horrible time period of my life. |
