This is not only a very informative book, but an enjoyable read. Dr. Cetel is a great communicator. I knew a lot about perimenopausal symptoms but knew relatively little until now of the hormone-related changes a middle-aged husband would also be experiencing. Dr. Cetel gives clear, practical advice on what women and men can say and do that will ease and support the other's experience. Her "tips" for reconnecting with your partner and achieving greater intimacy in mid-life ("hormonal harmony") are quite actionable and fun (I've tried several already with good results.) I also liked her advice for an overall healthy lifestyle. This may be the one book on menopause your husband will want to read. I highly recommend it if you're committed to your marital relationship lasting and growing.

It's true, we will all go through menopause! It's not "just for women only!" And thank goodness, Dr. Cetel, finally "blows the whistle" on men. Dr. Cetel's book opens the menopause door and walks through the hormonal journey in "lay terms." Using real life stories to illustrate her findings, she makes Double Menopause an easy read.
She yanks "old wives tales" right out of the closet. Hurrah! She also, explains, that male menopause is alive and well, yep that's correct! No more denying it! We gals are no longer alone...male hormones can and do---- rage! Sweet Justice!
Dr. Cetel's book not only helps you evaluate you and your mate's
hormonal balance (and what to do about "it")...but she discusses improving your sex life. Now the guys are listening...what's not to love about that?
Finally I am in the right place at the right time!
Double Menopause is a must read!

This book is super wether married or single...nearing or in menopause(or living with someone who is---yikes, mom and dad are not crazy)!
Bring on the hormones, armed with Double Menopause, the world is mine (and yours, too)!

A great book, well written with many anecdotes to keep it real and relateable. Dr. Cetel has an understanding and empathy for both men and women as they go through what I call the "middle-rages". She knocks a lot of old wives tales about the mid-life crisis thing out of the park.

Another really great thing about this book is that Dr. Cetel talks in terms that the layperson can truly understand. I review many menopause books on my site... and some are difficult to understand because of all the medical terms. I definitely believe this book will become a best seller on this topic because it shows the similarities of men and women instead of focusing on just women.

This is a great book, and would have saved our marriage if we had read it in time! I finally understand what happened between my wife and myself, and it wasn't either of our faults. Too bad we didn't know this until after the painful divorce.
Hormones affect men just as much as women, and we were both ignorant of how important it is to know what your spouse is going through at midlife. Give this book to anyone in their middle years, and they will be forever greatful. Heck, they should read it before they even get to that stage of life.
It should be required reading for everyone as they get to their 30's, and beyond

I thoroughly enjoyed reading DOUBLE MENOPAUSE by Dr. Nancy Cetel. It was comforting to know that there is solid information about the next phase of life for me. Being prepared for some of the possible effects of changing hormone levels will only make the transition easier.
The book was well written and interesting. I especially appreciated the chapter entitled THE TRUTH ABOUT ANTI-AGING. I agree with Dr. Cetel's philosophy about the aging process and found her advice for maximizing longevity very helpful.

An excellent resource for women and men to assist in understanding the ebb and flow of hormonal change during midlife. The effect of such changes on both the psychological and physical domains are discussed. The time during which these hormonal changes occur can become extremely trying and tumultuous for individuals and their partners.This book addresses ways to assess the changes that are occurring and approaches to managing them. Double Menopause speaks well to a complex phenomena and simplifies it. This is a unique resource for men and women whose lives are affected, directly or indirectly, by menopausal or andropausal changes.

I have been looking for a book like this for quite some time. I knew that I wasn't the only one going through hormonal changes in our family.

We've been married for over twenty years and were at the breaking point. A friend recommended this book and it has helped put things in perspective for both of us. It is full of excellent advice that is easy and fun to follow - with real results. The author has a good sense of humor that makes it fun to read - I only wish we had known about it earlier. I am buying copies for friends of ours that are going through similar challenges.

This is a book that is great for women, wonderful for men and necessary for couples that are in the midlife zone. I wish it had been available years ago so our earlier "double menopause" years could have been easier.

Double Menopause really hits home !!! There is a wealth of useful information for both myself and my husband - very easy ( and fun) to read - it's helped our relationship tremendously. This makes a great anniversary gift for mid-life couples.

Help is on the way for those "Men of a Certain Age"! How appropriate that men and women can learn to understand this normal, but uniquely challenging, phase of life. Well done!
