Maria Shriver asked me to write this book for her imprint at Penguin Random House.

I’ve been a health journalist for more than 20 years, and I interviewed more than 100 women’s health experts—all female—for this book. My journalism background teed me up to do extensive research, reporting, and fact-checking over the course of three years to provide evidence-based information—all in service of giving readers a foundational knowledge about their bodies and their health. That knowledge is power, helping us clue in to symptoms that may be a sign of underlying health issues and giving us the confidence to talk about our bodies to our healthcare providers and each other.

In The New Rules of Women’s Health you’ll learn …

Important differences in how various diseases develop in women and the best tips for prevention
Science-backed diet, exercise, and sleep habits that can help you stay healthy for life
The underrecognized signs your hormones may be out of whack and what you can do to optimize your endocrine system
How to tell if your period symptoms are "normal"—or if they could be a sign of an underlying condition
The new thinking on how to improve your fertility and prepare your body for pregnancy
The truth about perimenopause symptoms and the best ways to manage them
Tips to help you find healthcare providers you trust and talk to them about your symptoms with confidence
