“I was kind of floored that I didn’t immediately connect my perimenopausal symptoms to perimenopause—and I write about health for a” says Jancee Dunn, the bestselling novelist, journalist, and former MTV VJ, who just released her latest book. After covering health and science for 20 years, Dunn was stunned by the lack of information available when she started going through perimenopause, a term that many women still aren’t familiar with .
Throughout her research for the book, Dunn interviewed a range of specialists, including ob-gyns, neuroscientists, dermatologists, psychologists, and more, in an effort to help readers understand how to find relief from symptoms, including hot flashes, painful sex, and changes in mood. Ultimately, it’s a step toward removing the mystery around something that “happens to half of the population of the earth,” she stresses.
Instead, the conversation around menopause will ideally soon match the “openness about talking about periods and your bodies and mental health struggles,” brought on by Gen Z, says Dunn. “I’m hoping for the generation going through menopause now that we could just bust it wide open—get rid of the stigma and the shame around it,” she says. So, for a crash course, here is Dunn’s guide to 7 things no one tells you about menopause.
