Hot and Bothered What No One Tells You About Menopause Jancee Dunn Summary From the New York Times bestselling author of How Not to Hate Your Husband After Kids comes an informative, deeply researched, and incredibly entertaining guide to navigating the still-taboo topic of menopause. When Jancee Dunn hit her mid-40s, she was suddenly bombarded by seemingly random symptoms: rampant insomnia, spring-loaded nerves, dry mouth, and Rio Grande-level periods. After going to multiple doctors and running fruitless test after fruitless test, she was surprised to finally discover the culprit—perimenopause. For more than two decades, Dunn had been reporting on mental and physical health. If she was unprepared for this, what about all women who don’t write about health for a living? Dunn fixes this issue by writing the book she wishes existed as she was scrambling for information. Hot and Bothered is an empowering, research-based guide on how women can tackle this new stage of their life with candor, humor, and (maybe) some new hormones. Through in-depth interviews with menopause experts and women from all walks of life, Dunn peels back the layers on this seemingly scary topic and then provides an actionable plan for this second half of life. Ultimately, Dunn proves that it’s time to stop pausing on menopause talk and start embracing this final frontier for women’s health so we can all live a happier, healthier life.
