Description

Hollywood star Naomi Watts opens up about the challenges she faced on reaching early menopause, providing a supportive, holistic guide based on the latest advice from hormone experts, doctors and nutritionists. At 36, Naomi Watts was at the height of her fame when suddenly she started experiencing symptoms she couldn’t explain – dry, itchy skin, raging hormones, night sweats – leaving her lost and confused, only to learn that she was going through menopause.

It is estimated that 13 million women in the UK are currently dealing with menopause symptoms, and yet the very word 'menopause' continues to be associated with stigma and confusion. With so little information, many women feel unprepared, uninformed and – because of the varying ages it begins – deeply alone when the time comes. This is the book Naomi Watts wishes she had when she first started experiencing symptoms.

Like sitting down over coffee and having an intimate chat with the girls, Dare I Say It blends stories from Naomi and her friends with humour and expert advice, to take the stigma out of menopause and ageing. Answering questions such as: What’s HRT and should I be on it? Will I ever sleep again? What happened to my libido? Do I need 18 serums for my ageing skin? Whose body is this anyway? Naomi Watts shares the most up-to-date learnings on how to manage menopause symptoms and tackle the physical and emotional challenges we encounter as we age. Irreverent, bold and funny, Dare I Say It is the companion every woman needs to inhabit the best version of themselves.
