このコンテンツについて
If perimenopause has turned your brain to mush and your patience to vapor, fear not—we’ve got your next reading list and your next excuse to hide in a closet with a book.
In this episode of OvaryActive, Dr. Rebecca Dunsmoor-Su and Dr. Amy Voedisch tackle the hot topic of hot flashes and paperbacks, reminding us that reading is not just fundamental—it’s survival.
These two brilliant minds dive into why reading is a legit form of self-care during perimenopause––wine and doomscrolling can only take you so far. From brain health and stress reduction to reconnecting with yourself when your hormones have ghosted you, they make the case for curling up with a good book—no matter the genre.
You’ll get recs for everything from practical guides like The Menopause Manifesto and The Vagina Bible, to erotica that might just make your estrogen do a double take. Plus, empowering fiction, spicy sci-fi, feminist fantasy, and memoirs that scream “same, girl, same.”
Tune in to fill your TBR pile and your soul. Share this episode and start a book club!
