Erotique & OH Hi have teamed up to bring Bozeman a sex culture/health Book Club! Enjoy free food and fun conversations with your community.About this Event
The only thing predictable about menopause is its unpredictability. Factor in widespread misinformation, a lack of research, and the culture of shame around women's bodies, and it's no wonder women are unsure what to expect during the menopause transition and beyond.
Menopause is not a disease--it's a planned change, like puberty. And just like puberty, we should be educated on what's to come years in advance, rather than the current practice of leaving people on their own with bothersome symptoms and too much conflicting information. Knowing what is happening, why, and what to do about it is both empowering and reassuring.
Frank and funny, Dr. Jen debunks misogynistic attitudes and challenges the
over-mystification of menopause to reveal everything you really need to know about:
- Perimenopause
- Hot flashes
- Sleep disruption
- Sex and libido
- Depression and mood changes
- Skin and hair issues
- Outdated therapies
- Breast health
- Weight and muscle mass
- Health maintenance screening
- And much more!
Filled with practical, reassuring information, this essential guide will revolutionize how women experience menopause--including how their lives can be even better for it!
(From the book, Menopause Manifesto by Dr. Jen Gunter)
Do keep in mind some of the language in Menopause Manifesto is a bit more gendered/cis focused. The research based science side to the book is what we like from Dr. Jen Gunter but would reccomend What Fresh Hell is This by Heather Corinna for a more inclusive but not as science heavy book.
