I am delighted to share my latest book, Your Brain on Menopause, coming January 5, 2027 with Random House

It covers the missing pieces of menopause science: how the female brain gets stronger and better in midlife and beyond. It delves into the science and culture of a subject no one used to want to talk about.

In it you will learn what the menopause-related changes are in the female brain and how to take advantage of them. It gives you clear guidance for navigating the perimenopausal storms and the passage into a new brain state in the menopause and beyond. With intimate personal stories it lays out how to become a new you as your brain is reshaped. How to seize your power and your purpose. The front section includes a roadmap of the changes we experience and the science behind it. And the two appendices give explicit How-to and What-to-do-and-Take guidance for the symptoms of our second-puberty brain transition: the menopause.

Thanks to Jane Fonda for this wonderful blurb! You can pre-order now from all the usual places!

I wrote The Female Brain twenty years ago to introduce people to the inside of female reality—the biological nature and experience of the female brain. Now, more than ever, in a time of ever-deepening threats to women’s health and welfare, we need to re-embrace this profound scientific understanding.

From the beginning, the public response to the book was surprising and overwhelming. The Female Brain hit the New York Times bestseller list, sold close to a million copies, and was translated into more than thirty languages. It has been a huge privilege for me to travel all over the world to speak and consult with governments, schools, companies, and foundations about the distinctive features of the female brain.

With some exciting news to share, I wrote my first Substack post about the twenty-year anniversary, and new things to come. You can read it at my new Substack: https://louannbrizendine.substack.com/p/twenty-year-anniversary-of-the-female

More to come.

Warmly,
