Yellow Kite signs Dr Louise Newson’s definitive guide to the perimenopause and menopause
Yellow Kite has signed The Definitive Guide to the Perimenopause and Menopause by Dr Louise Newson, described by the publisher as the doctor “who kick-started the menopause revolution”.
Editorial director Carolyn Thorne acquired world rights from Lauren Lunn-Farrow at The Expert Agency, with the book scheduled to be published on 16th March 2023.
Dr Newson is a GP and menopause specialist and holds an Advanced Menopause Specialist certificate with the Faculty of Sexual and Reproductive Healthcare and the British Menopause Society.
As well as establishing a specialist menopause clinic in Stratford-upon-Avon that sees thousands of patients a month, and setting up the free balance menopause support app and balance menopause, Newson is a regular contributor to discussions on menopause on programmes including ITV’s "This Morning".
She also hosts "The Dr Louise Newson Podcast" which shares advice on menopause and interviews with other experts.
The publisher says: “Louise has written the definitive, accessible and evidence-based guide to the perimenopause and menopause. It is the result of years of work in this field – combining not just her expert medical knowledge but the understanding and wisdom she has gained too.
“The Definitive Guide to the Perimenopause and Menopause covers the key facts about hormones, their importance and their effects on our bodies. It explores family histories and their effects on menopause, the complete guide to HRT, libidos, mental and physical health, how menopause affects our careers and relationships and so much more.
“The book contains exclusive new medical research and answers the questions women most often ask Louise in her clinic. There are real stories from women who want their experiences shared to benefit others. And there is clear advice from other medical experts in related fields including mental health, dermatology, nutrition, psychology and oncology.”
Newson said: “A lack of knowledge about the perimenopause and menopause and poor access to treatments has left women needlessly suffering for decades.
“Every day I receive so many messages from those who are struggling to cope and are desperate for answers. I have written this book to help women to feel informed, empowered and confident about getting the best menopause care, regardless of their age, background or health history.
“From symptoms to treatments, and taking a holistic approach to health and well-being, this book is going to take away the guesswork for those going through menopause.I want this book to transform the way we think about perimenopause and menopause and to help everyone who reads it."
Thorne added: “Quite simply this will be the most authoritative and informative book about the menopause and perimenopause on the market and it is the book I wish I had access to years ago. Everyone should read it and keep a copy on their bookshelf.”
