Synopsis

Menopause hits differently when no one who looks like you is talking about it.

For too long, Black women have navigated perimenopause and menopause with medical guidance that wasn't built with them in mind - symptoms dismissed, treatment options withheld, and a culture of silence around a transition every woman eventually faces. What No One Told Us: The Black Woman's Guide to Menopause changes that.

Written by Dr. Michelle Cooke - 2026 Direct Primary Care Physician of the Year and founder of the nation's first direct primary care practice dedicated to Black women's health - this book is the guide she wishes existed for her own patients years ago. Drawing on her clinical experience treating hundreds of Black women through perimenopause and menopause, Dr. Cooke breaks down the hormonal, physical, and emotional realities of this life stage in clear, judgment-free language.

Inside, you'll find:

  • A clear breakdown of perimenopause and menopause symptoms - including the ones that go unrecognized or misdiagnosed in Black women
  • Guidance on hormone therapy, treatment options, and how to evaluate them with your provider
  • Tools to advocate for yourself in medical settings, including questions to ask and red flags to watch for
  • Real talk on the emotional and identity shifts that come with this transition
  • Culturally grounded insight that finally reflects your lived experience, not a one-size-fits-all approach

Whether you're just starting to notice changes or deep in the thick of it, this book gives you the knowledge, language, and confidence to take control of your health - instead of being left to figure it out alone.

This is the conversation no one had with us. Now it's here.
