About this listen

A “comprehensive…must-read” (Sara Gottfried, MD, New York Times bestselling author of The Hormone Cure) guide to women’s health from naturopathic physician, bestselling author, and leader in women’s health Dr. Jolene Brighten.

When discussing period pain or mood swings, hormonal imbalance or fertility issues, and all the “down there” concerns, vagina owners everywhere consistently ask their doctors one thing: Is this normal?

Whether it was from her patients or her hundreds of thousands of social media followers, Dr. Jolene Brighten has heard this simple question more times than she can count. With only eighteen states (yes, really) requiring medically accurate sexual education, it’s no wonder that so many have serious questions that need answers.

In Is This Normal?, Dr. Brighten “answers to the often unasked questions along with actionable steps on how to move forward...It’s like having a conversation with your most trusted friend...one that happens to have a medical degree” (Dr. Will Cole, New York Times bestselling author of Intuitive Fasting). TMI isn’t a term in her world. She answers all those “lady parts” questions you’ve always wondered but might not have felt comfortable asking, including topics as wide-ranging as the menstrual cycle, postpartum health, libido, acne, the orgasm gap, and vaginal discharges. No topic is too gross, gooey, or OMG to be off-limits.

Featuring a twenty-eight-day plan to take back your cycle and dozens of charts, checklists, and diagrams that help keep it real while keeping you educated, Is This Normal? is the Our Bodies, Ourselves for the social media generation, and women everywhere will benefit from this honest, easy-to-understand guide to their bodies.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Solid information

Although the audience for this important book’s material assumed a female audience, it was great to here it all as a man. Maybe a man’s version of this focus on a woman’s body would be a useful complement? Heck, someone ought to do the same for a man’s body, for both men and woman!

Read it and share it. It’s that good.

This book invites a no bs conversation about how to normalize rather than pathologize our lived experience regarding sex, sexuality and biological function. It’s a must read that can and should be shared inter generationally so that everyone has access to information that is so often left out of conventional and standardized education to help minimize feelings of shame, isolation and confusion.

A bit disappointing

I loved Beyond the pill but was disappointed by this book because I already knew a lot of the information presented. I think my 20 year old self would have enjoyed it / learned more.
