SUMMARY:THE NEW PERIMENOPAUSE: AN EVIDENCE-BASED GUIDE TO SURVIVE THE ZONE OF CHAOS AND FEELING LIKE YOURSELF AGAIN
DESCRIPTION:For many women\, the years leading up to menopause arrive without warning and without a name. Anxiety\, fatigue\, joint pain\, brain fog\, disrupted sleep\, volatile moods\, and changes in sexual health can surface as early as a woman’s mid-thirties — well before menstrual irregularity signals that anything hormonal is underway. Too often\, those symptoms are dismissed by physicians or misattributed entirely. Mary Claire Haver\, MD\, has spent her career changing that. \nIn her new book The New Perimenopause: An Evidence-Based Guide to Surviving the Zone of Chaos and Feeling Like Yourself Again\, Dr. Haver\, a board-certified OB/GYN\, a certified culinary medicine specialist\, a certified menopause provider\, and the founder of The ‘Pause Wellness\, maps what she calls the hormonal “zone of chaos” — the years of endocrine fluctuation that precede menopause and generate an outsized toll on women’s daily lives. The symptoms are real\, they are physiological\, and they are manageable. Her book gives women the science\, the clinical tools\, and the language to insist on care that addresses what their bodies are doing. \nThe New Perimenopause delivers clear\, science-backed explanations of what’s happening in the body across every dimension of the perimenopausal transition — menstrual changes\, energy\, mood\, sleep\, and sexual health — alongside a frank account of why addressing these changes now constitutes preventive medicine for the decades ahead. Haver walks women through the latest research on progesterone therapy\, including both its benefits and side effects\, and equips them with practical tools: checklists\, questions to bring to the doctor’s office\, and strategies for navigating a medical system that has historically underserved women in midlife. Whether or not a woman has yet noticed any symptoms\, the book removes the mystery from this transition and restores the sense of agency that too many women lose during it. \nHaver\, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The New Menopause and The Galveston Diet\, will be in conversation with Heidi Stevens\, Director of External Affairs for the University of Chicago’s TMW Center for Early Learning + Public Health. She writes a weekly nationally syndicated column\, “Balancing Act.” Stevens has been a FAN board member since 2021. \nBonus Book Giveaway: FAN is giving away copies of The New Perimenopause to attendees\, while supplies last. \nThis event is suitable for youth ages 12 and up. It will be recorded but not live streamed and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.
