A deep, holistic understanding.
“Dr Holland's new book This Is Perimenopause is a treasure trove of clinical case studies and actionable, evidence-based advice for women in different stages of menopause. Based on her deep holistic understanding of the interactions between mind and body, hormones and metabolism, and the central role that the gut plays in these interactions, she has created a unique resource for women undergoing one of the most profound biological transitions in life. The book is easy and enjoyable to read and full of information and advice not available elsewhere. A must read!”

Thoughtful. Compassionate. Nuanced.
“Dr Kirstey Holland's This Is Perimenopause is thoughtful, compassionate, and refreshingly nuanced. She gently disrupts increasingly rigid mainstream narratives surrounding perimenopause while respecting hormone therapy as life-changing for some women. I particularly appreciated her emphasis on gut health first as part of her hierarchy of healing and her understanding that hormones do not operate in isolation from stress, sleep, metabolism, nourishment, trauma, nervous system regulation and overall health. Filled with grounded wisdom and helpful case studies, this book encourages women to approach their symptoms with curiosity rather than fear. It is an essential addition to the current discourse—and to every woman's health journey.”
