The first Australian guide to perimenopause, featuring Shelly's incredible story along with interviews with local and international menopause experts including Dr Lousie Newson, Dr Mary Claire Haver, Dr Kelly Casperson and Dr Ginni Mansberg.

Health advocate and journalist Shelly Horton thought menopause was for old ladies and was simply hot flushes and no more periods - until she went from kicking arse in her career to waking up in the ICU, all because her hormones staged a full-blown peri-mutiny. Now, driven by the knowledge that keeping quiet only holds women back, she is sharing her perimenopause story along with evidence-based health advice, case studies and practical tools so you can navigate the peri rollercoaster with more confidence and a lot less confusion.

I'm Your Peri Godmother will keep you laughing as you learn:
- What HRT is and how to decide if it's right for you
- How to navigate night sweats, insomnia, weight gain, brain fog, heavy periods and more
- What to do when peri anxiety and depression hit hard
- Which herbs and supplements help and which just lead to expensive wee
- Why you need skincare for your vagina
- How to advocate for a menopause-friendly workplace

Consider Shelly your big sister, your supportive best friend, your very own peri godmother, here to help you through it all with a wave of her magic wand, lots of medical evidence (but no medical jargon) and real-life warmth and humour.
