Hot flushes, 3am wake-ups, a brain that's wandered off without you. These are the guides we'd hand a friend first: plain English, no shrugs, and practical steps you can use this week.
- Instant PDF download
- Best on a tablet or printed
- With love from Marva & Lu
Is this for you?
- You know something's changed, but you can't tell what's hormones and what's just life.
- You've Googled at midnight and come away more confused (and more awake).
- You'd like to walk into your GP appointment knowing what to ask.
- You want a clear first step, not a 400-page textbook.
Nodding at even one? You're in exactly the right place.

Good questions
What format are the guides?
Every Academy guide is a PDF ebook. Workbooks and printables are PDFs too, laid out so you can fill them in or print them.
How does the download work?
It's an instant digital download. Straight after checkout you'll get an email with your download link, and you'll find it on your order page too. No waiting in for the postman.
What's the best way to read them?
They're designed to be read on a tablet, where the pages look their best. A laptop or computer works well too, or you can print them.
Can I print them?
Yes. Print the whole thing, or just the trackers and checklists you want on the fridge.
Is this medical advice?
No. Our guides give you general information and practical tools, not a diagnosis or treatment. Please talk to your GP or a healthcare professional about your own symptoms, and before you start, stop or change any treatment or supplement.
