Hot flashes, hard truths and midlife humor
For the reader who wants serious reporting without losing the relief of being able to laugh. Dunn begins with her own confusion and investigates why even health-literate women can miss the signs of hormonal transition. She connects hot flashes with sleep, mood, sex, skin, cognition, and the practical problem of finding informed care. The value for this library is the bridge between recognition and evidence: Dunn validates the bewilderment, then converts it into useful questions. Its greatest strength is making information feel companionable rather than overwhelming, while keeping the reader’s everyday life firmly in view.
About Jancee Dunn
Jancee Dunn had covered health for years, yet did not immediately recognize her own perimenopause in her mid-forties. That surprise became the book’s engine, combining a reporter’s persistence with the disbelief of someone discovering how much had never been explained.
