An illustrated, inclusive guidebook, the book is designed to help everyone better understand each of the three stages of a woman’s life: the puberty years, the fertility years and the peri/menopausal years.

As a doctor for women’s health and healthcare consultant, she was a contributor on the Channel 4 documentary Davina McCall: Sex, Lies and the Menopause.
