Double Menopause: What to Do When Both You and Your Mate Go Through Hormonal Changes Together
Product Description
A positive, practical approach to understanding and coping with male and female hormonal changes
While most people are familiar with female menopause, it is not as well known that men, too, have their own version of midlife transition–and its far more common than one might suspect. Its only recently been understood that men also suffer from hormonal changes–often called andropause–and that resources for couples struggling to cope with his-and-hers midlife changes have not been readily available.
Double Menopause is the first book to explore the phenomenon of simultaneous female and male menopauses. Dr. Nancy Cetel addresses the emotional and psychological reactions as well as the physiological changes both you and your partner may experience. Even the most solid relationship can crumble under the weight of hormonal change; Cetel offers a compassionate and reassuring survival guide for both men and women to help you regain control of your life and renew your commitment to each other. Utilizing practical, effective, and even fun techniques, Cetel helps you:
- Identify the signs and symptoms of menopause and andropause
- Understand the myths, fantasies, and realities of midlife sexuality, from both the male and female perspective
- Work through inevitable conflicts in your relationship
- Ignite your “midlife love hormones”
- Evaluate the pros and cons of hormonal supplements such as DHEA and growth hormone
- Discuss potential treatment options with your physician
Based on the latest cutting-edge research, including the authors own, Double Menopause offers you and your mate a healthy, loving prescription for optimal health at midlife and beyond.

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)!

Double Menopause: What to Do When Both You and Your Mate Go Through Hormonal Changes Together
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.

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.
