Description

'Naomi Watts has gathered stories of her experiences around menopause into a book that imparts the much-needed facts, from one woman to another. Thank you and brava!' – GILLIAN ANDERSON

Hollywood star Naomi Watts opens up about the challenges she faced on reaching early menopause, providing a supportive, holistic guide based on the latest advice from hormone experts, doctors and nutritionists.

At 36, Naomi Watts was at the height of her fame when suddenly she started experiencing symptoms she couldn’t explain – dry, itchy skin, raging hormones, night sweats – leaving her lost and confused, only to learn that she was going through menopause.

It is estimated that 13 million women in the UK are currently dealing with menopause symptoms, and yet the very word 'menopause' continues to be associated with stigma and confusion. With so little information, many women feel unprepared, uninformed and – because of the varying ages it begins – deeply alone when the time comes. This is the book Naomi Watts wishes she had when she first started experiencing symptoms. Like sitting down over coffee and having an intimate chat with the girls, Dare I Say It blends stories from Naomi and her friends with humour and expert advice, to take the stigma out of menopause and ageing.

Answering questions such as: What’s HRT and should I be on it? Will I ever sleep again? What happened to my libido? Do I need 18 serums for my ageing skin? Whose body is this anyway? Naomi Watts shares the most up-to-date learnings on how to manage menopause symptoms and tackle the physical and emotional challenges we encounter as we age. Irreverent, bold and funny, Dare I Say It is the companion every woman needs to inhabit the best version of themselves.

Critic Reviews

Naomi Watts has gathered stories of her experiences around menopause and those of her friends into a book that imparts the much-needed facts to the female population, from one woman to another. Thank you and brava! Gillian Anderson
With humour, vulnerability and wisdom, Dare I Say It turns the often-taboo topic of menopause into a conversation that is not only necessary but long overdue. This book will resonate with women everywhere seeking guidance, solidarity and the reassurance that they are not alone in their journey. Dr Lisa Mosconi, New York Times bestselling author of The Menopause Brain
I stand in admiration of Naomi Watts for tackling the verboten subject of menopause. She is frank, funny and fearless. Women all around the world will be grateful for her guiding light, as I know I am. Naomi is an American hero (even though no one really knows where she’s actually from). Chelsea Handler, New York Times bestselling author of Life Will Be the Death of Me . . . and You Too!
Wow! Dare I Say It is much more than a book about menopause – it’s a revolutionary guide, best friend, and expert wrapped into a fun-to-read package. Watts writes openly about her own story while beautifully weaving in cutting-edge research and expert opinions. A must-read for all women and those who care about them. Eve Rodsky, New York Times bestselling author of Fair Play
Naomi Watts’s book, Dare I Say It, simultaneously educates, destigmatises, and personalises this universal female experience called menopause. Her book is clear and well-resourced and it provides a balanced approach to navigating the challenges of menopause. By sharing her story, she is showing women how to minimise suffering and maximise their health and happiness as they age. A must-read for every woman over thirty! Dr Sharon Malone, New York Times bestselling author
