Perimenopause Bites
She had a plan. Her hormones had other ideas.
Hot flashes. Brain fog. Rage over pasta shapes. A rogue chin hair discovered mid-Zoom.
The Change is a Beast. Welcome to perimenopause. Nobody sent a memo.
Maggie Sullivan thought she was losing her mind. Her doctor prescribed iron supplements. The internet suggested celery juice. Her body, meanwhile, had other ideas.
What she really needed was Jules, Priya, an unreasonable amount of chocolate, and the realization that half the population was silently going through the same thing ... and nobody had warned any of them.
Maggie and her colleagues build something unexpected; a circle of women held together by coffee, brutal honesty, and being done with pretending they're fine.
Perimenopause Bites is the book that should have existed years ago. Funny where it needs to be. Honest where it matters.
Alongside Maggie's story are "Truth Bites" ... short, evidence-based insights that help explain the symptoms, hormonal changes and experiences many women encounter during perimenopause and menopause, including brain fog, sleep disruption, anxiety, mood swings, weight gain, hot flashes, relationship struggles, and workplace challenges.
This is the book for every woman who Googled her symptoms and ended up more confused than when she started. Part women's fiction, part midlife survival guide, Perimenopause Bites is a story about friendship, resilience, and discovering that you were never the only one.
