9 Essential Audiobooks on Menopause, Perimenopause, and Women’s Health

A new group of doctors, researchers, and advocates are shining a light on menopause, perimenopause, and the systemic neglect of these medical conditions by the medical establishment—and it’s about time. If you haven’t yet heard Dr. Mary Claire Haver speak on her experiences both as a physician and as someone going through menopause herself, you’re in for a potentially life-changing experience with her book The New Menopause, which she narrates. Or hear Academy Award-nominated actor Naomi Watts’ Dare I Say It, which Chelsea Handler calls “frank, funny, and fearless,” and which details Naomi’s experience with early menopause, and how it sent her on a journey to learn everything she could about the physical and emotional challenges that come with this time of life. Listen to clips from these audiobooks and more below—there is so much to learn.
