The bold, funny, and taboo-busting guide to the menopause for women who can’t slow down – from entrepreneur and menopause ambassador Meg Matthews.

When Meg Mathews hit menopause, she was shocked by the lack of awareness, understanding and support available to women – and found much of the information out there far too dreary.

After getting her own symptoms under control, she became determined to help other women navigate menopause with greater confidence.

The New Hot is her no-holds-barred guide to menopause, designed to entertain and empower women in equal measure. Combining advice from a wide range of menopause and lifestyle experts with Meg’s personal insights, it tackles common menopause symptoms and questions with honesty, humour and comprehensive advice.

Inside, you’ll find guidance on:

• Understanding menopause symptoms and how to start taking control
• How to ask your GP for the right support and treatment plan for you
• A menopause-friendly nutrition plan, looking at gut health, supplements and how to use food as medicine
• Tips on how to maintain pelvic health, with pelvic floor exercises that actually work
• Treatment options, including Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), natural treatments, and lifestyle adjustments
• Skin, beauty and style tips for looking and feeling more like yourself
• Meg’s Menopause Dictionary to demystify any medical terms your doctor might use
