Publisher Description

“A must read for every woman in midlife, and an excellent resource to truly understand what is happening during this transition time. Additionally, within these pages, you will find ways to optimize your health before, during, and after menopause and be well informed, and empowered in your own personal advocacy. You will love it!” 

—Dr. Anna Cabeca, OB/GYN, bestselling author of The Hormone Fix and MenuPause



You have been misled about menopause. This comprehensive guide based on the latest research in aging, women’s health, and HRT dispels decades of misinformation.


The Great Menopause Myth is your essential resource for optimized menopause care.

More than simply an end to fertility, menopause is a time when a woman’s health can spin out of control. The hormonal shifts of menopause impact everything from body composition and immune system function to increased risk of chronic health conditions such as cancer, diabetes, dementia, heart disease, and osteoporosis.

If you’re lucky enough to even be offered menopause treatment, traditional protocols, based on decades-old shoddy science and erroneous research conclusions, have gotten it wrong. Badly wrong. For years, conventional wisdom—and medical practice—have told women nothing needs to change in their lifestyle or healthcare at midlife, and they should just white-knuckle the discomfort of hot flashes, sleeplessness, weight gain and loss of muscle mass, mood swings, painful sex, joint pain, and incontinence as if it will all just (magically) go away in a decade or two.

The Great Menopause Myth shows you how to age wise and well at midlife and beyond. Learn actionable steps and guidelines to curate an optimized menopause regimen based on your unique health considerations.

  • Nutrition, exercise, and sleep hygiene at midlife: Best practices for aging healthy 
  • Thyropause, fatty liver disease, and gut health: The overlooked systems that need attention during menopause
  • HRT or MHT: What is the difference and does it matter? (hint: it does!!)
  • Not all HRT is created equal: Low dose or physiologic? Static or rhythmic? Continuous or cyclic? Creams, gels, patches, injections, pills, or pellets? Learn how to choose the best option for you.
  • When HRT is truly not an option: Supplements and integrative options for menopause care



Centered on your overall health and happiness, The Great Menopause Myth offers a welcome new narrative on menopause.

You will love it!"—Dr. Anna Cabeca, OB/GYN, bestselling author of The Hormone Fix and MenuPause

  • "Every word written that extols the need for and benefits of hormone replacement therapy in menopause is to be welcomed and applauded!  This book furthers the dialogue on women’s need for hormones and that the 'smallest amount for the shortest time' hormone philosophy must be banished forever. By focusing on hormonal levels, doses, rhythms, and lifestyle choices, this book opens important conversations."—Dr. Felice Gersh, OB/GYN, Medical Director Integrative Medical Group of Irvine, Affiliate Faculty - Fellowship in Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona School of Medicine

  • "This book cuts through the jargon and confusion surrounding midlife health for women and gives step-by-step practical ways to ensure women stay healthy and strong throughout the aging process."—Izabella Wentz, PharmD. & NYT Bestselling Author

  • "This groundbreaking book dismantles the false narratives surrounding menopause and estrogen, offering a comprehensive exploration of the systems affected by estrogen deficiency resulting from ovarian failure at any stage of a woman’s reproductive health. It is poised to be the most brilliant, up-to-date, and thorough discussion on Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) and menopause ever written."—Dr. James Nagel, Regenerative Medicine Specialist

  • "The Great Menopause Myth is a fantastic reference book and invaluable resource. I highly recommend it for women of all ages, not just those approaching menopause. Not only do the authors provide practical tools to help readers evaluate their lifestyles for healthy aging, but also they distill decades of medical data and research into clear, succinct summaries, shedding light on the evolution of hormone replacement strategies and prescribing patterns. This must-read empowers readers to make informed choices about optimizing their health and well-being throughout different stages of life as well as understanding and navigating their choices around HRT." —Dr. Julie Taguchi, Medical Oncologist

  • “No woman gets to avoid menopause, but she can avoid its impacts. This book tells you how. Highly recommended.” —Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., author, The Great Cholesterol Myth

  • "Kristin Johnson and Maria Claps have written a book that's just as important for healthcare providers as it is for midlife women themselves. I hope this book becomes available in medical school to help close the knowledge gap. This is the new menopause book for women who want to prepare and understand what perimenopause and menopause is--and isn't."—Dr. Mariza Snyder, bestselling author of The Essential Oils Hormone Solution

  • "The Great Menopause Myth is filled with logical, evidence-based, actionable tools! The authors have a remarkable understanding of the current literature on nutrition, movement, and hormone replacement. We are seeing a long overdue push for an understanding of how to best optimize women's health in midlife and I haven't seen a better guide than this one!“ —- Doug Lucas, DO, FAAMM, Board Certified Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine Physician, Board Certified Orthopedic Surgeon
