The Upgrade: How the Female Brain Gets Stronger and Better in Midlife and Beyond

Coming across Louann Brizendine’s book about menopause was a moment of sheer joy.

The Upgrade – which is exactly how I see menopause – links the physical metabolic changes that declining oestrogen brings, to the emotional changes that we can experience, and explains why the mature brain is so much better than what came before.

I highly recommend this uplifting and illuminating perspective on menopause.

Can you recommend any books about menopause that helped you?

Got a suggestion for a topic you'd like to read about in the Sunday Supplement?

Get better now

I have had a drastic improvement since following my plan to manage my endometriosis. My pain and nausea have massively reduced.

Not only totally cured, full of energy and healthy, but also PREGNANT, which I didn’t think would be possible!!

I have lost 2 stone, and haven’t had a migraine for 11 weeks! That has not happened since I was 15.

I could finally sleep, my hair was growing back, my hormones began to calm down and my long Covid symptoms eased!

A change of diet and some short term supplements have completely resolved issues I thought would never go away.

Today I’m completely free of pre-menstrual anxiety and antidepressants.

I was amazed at how quickly my weight started dropping and soon my migraines all but disappeared.
