Summary of Jennifer Gunter's The Menopause Manifesto

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview: #1 Menopause is a transition from one biological phase of ovarian function to another, but it is shrouded in secrecy. It is no more a disease than being a man is a disease. #2 The menopause is the period of time leading up to the final menstrual period, which marks menopause. It is when there are no more follicles in the ovaries capable of ovulating, meaning there are no more eggs. #3 The treatment of menopause is also lacking in knowledge among women. They are often dismissed as being fabricated, unimportant, or just part of being a woman. #4 Menopause is the period in which a woman’s body goes through a series of hormonal fluctuations that can cause a variety of symptoms. It’s important for women to know all their options so they can choose if they want treatment or not.
