Hot and Bothered
Hot and Bothered: What No One Tells You About Menopause and How to Feel Like Yourself Again | Jancee Dunn
2 posts | 3 read | 4 to read
Hot and Bothered removes the shame, disdain, and mystery thats surrounded menopause.An informative, entertaining and desperately needed book. Jen Sincero, author of You Are a Badass When Jancee Dunn hit her mid-forties, she was bombarded by seemingly random symptoms: rampant insomnia, spring-loaded nerves, weirdly dry mouth, and Rio Grande-level periods. After going to multiple doctors who ran test after fruitless test, she was surprised to finally discover the culpritperimenopause. For more than two decades, Jancee had been reporting on mental and physical health. So if she was unprepared for this, what about all the women who dont write about health for a living? Hot and Bothered is the book she wishes existed as she was scrambling for information: an empowering, research-based guide on how women can tackle this new stage of life. Menopause isnt a disease, but a natural, normal life transition. Why, then, are we still speaking in whispers about something that affects half the earths population? Through in-depth interviews with renowned menopause experts and trusted authorities, Dunn peels back the layers on this still-mystifying topic with her trademark humor and unpacks the science on both hormonal and nonhormonal treatments. She provides actionable ways to improve sleep, sex, moods, mental clarity, and skin; details the latest treatments for hot flashes; and explores the best practices to stop peezing (that would be peeing when you sneeze, thanks to your new urinary issues). Dunns clear, easy-to-follow advice will help you reclaim yourselfand fully embrace lifes next chapter.

⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 A lot of good information I‘m glad to have, presented in a mostly engaging way. To some extent there‘s no way around it, but a book of transitions akin to, “enough about facial hair—let‘s talk about weight gain!” did start to feel cursed after awhile.

Yes. Yes, I did listen to a book about menopause.

I am having a dickens of a time in perimenopause and wanted to hear facts and reassurance that I will eventually get through this.

I won't go into detail, but damn, this sucks.

The book was very informative.

dabbe Ah, yes. The night sweats, the heart palpitations ... you do feel as if you're having a heart attack. And you sweat in places you knew existed, but you had never sweat there before. 🤣 Hang in there. You will get through it. If you need a sounding board, I'm here. 💙🤗💚 1y

dabbe @jdiehr Sorry I went into too much detail! 💙🤣💚 1y

bookishbitch My tip: I ended up buying myself a few hand fans and use them for extreme hot flashes. The fold up ones fit easily in a purse or work bag. 1y
mandarchy I think it was in the Menopause Manifesto that I learned that you will lose you balance. It recommended that you practice standing on one foot. Sure enough, I had already lost it, my balance. 😂 1y
jdiehr @mandarchy I will try and see what happens 😁🤞🏻 1y
Desha I‘m in the same boat…menopause books are high up on my TBR pile! 😂 1y
