Dr. Mindy Pelz, noted women's health advocate and the bestselling author of Fast Like a Girl and Eat Like a Girl, redefines menopause as a powerful biological upgrade—offering science-backed strategies to help women thrive, reclaim their health, and step into their most vibrant, authentic selves.

“What I discovered—and what I hope you’ll see woven through every page—is that the neurochemical shift at menopause offers a mirror. One that reveals a more authentic version of who we are—and invites us to change what no longer serves.”
—Dr. Mindy Pelz

If you’re feeling foggy, overwhelmed, burned out, or like a stranger in your own mind and body, Age Like a Girl will help you understand why—and show you what’s possible on the other side.

Bestselling author and women’s health expert Dr. Mindy Pelz reveals the groundbreaking science behind how menopause rewires your brain—and how this transformation is happening for you, not to you. What most women mistake as “the begin­ning of the end” is actually a biologically designed brain and identity reset—one that can deliver greater confidence, clarity, and energy than you’ve felt in years.

You’re not falling apart. You’re being rebuilt— from the inside out. With science, compassion, and lived wisdom, Dr. Mindy helps you make sense of what’s happening—and what’s possible next.

Inside you’ll discover how to:
  • Understand the brain changes behind mood swings, fatigue, and brain fog
  • Reclaim your emotional resilience, motivation, and focus
  • Support your hormones and nervous system naturally
  • Redesign your life using simple lifestyle tools backed by neuroscience
  • Embrace your next chapter with power, vitality, and peace

Menopause isn’t the end of your story. It’s the turning point.
Come home to your clarity.
Come home to your confidence.
Come home to yourself.
