For too long, menopause was something women were ashamed to speak openly about. Historically, it has been referred to as "women's hell" or "the death of sex." It is tangled up with negative connotations about reproductive health and aging, leading women to believe that menopause will bring physical and emotional changes they can't control. It's time to rewrite that narrative. Dr. Shepherd believes midlife can be a time of empowerment and personal growth. She encourages women to take ownership of the experience and be an active participant in the journey, because a woman who makes the choice to prepare by learning the facts, benefiting from the wisdom of the community, and creating healthy habits can thrive in perimenopause and menopause. Dr. Shepherd's practice focuses on treating the entire patient--not just her parts.

Plus, her book includes plenty of firsthand stories from her patients.
