Book Synopsis

The go-to manual for anybody considering starting HRT and navigating the perimenopause journey

Most GP visits are 10-15 minutes long - never enough time for your doctor to take you through all the ins and outs of hormone replacement therapy. Written by Dr Ellie Cannon, a practising GP specialising in women's health, this easy-to-read guide condenses everything doctors wish they had time to tell you.

With the amount of conflicting information on menopause, navigating this journey can be overwhelming. It's been framed in some quarters as the panacea - the more hormones you take, the better you'll feel. But there are also a lot of GPs concerned that women are being over-promised a positive menopause.

Dr Ellie is here to redress the balance: in support of HRT but sensible about the pros and cons of the treatment. With her level-headed and impartial approach, she doesn't ask you to jump on the HRT bandwagon, but gives you clear, digestible advice and information as you start your research during perimenopause. Getting to the crux of HRT, this is your personal GP consultation from start to finish - with all your questions finally answered.
