The 2026 Hotflash inc Book of Knowledge

Every takeaway, resource and "write that down" moment from 24 midlife experts (in 22 sessions), in one guide.

You can't take notes on 22 conversations. Nobody can. So we did it for you.

The Book of Knowledge distills every session from the 2026 Hotflash inc Summit: Unbiased + Fear-Free into short, practical, searchable entries you can read in a few minutes and come back to whenever you need them. You don't need to have watched a single session.

What's in every entry

  • What the conversation covers, and why this expert's view is worth hearing

  • The key quote

  • Five takeaways you can act on or bring to your next appointment

  • A message of hope

  • Every book, study and resource mentioned, so you can go deeper

Who's inside

  • Lara Briden on why perimenopause is "a recalibration, not a medical condition," and why not every symptom after 40 is about estrogen

  • Cynthia Thurlow on the gut, the estrobolome, and why the same hormone dose feels different from woman to woman

  • Dr. Florence Comite on testosterone, the hormone most women are never tested for properly

  • Dr. Helen Wall on menopause and ADHD: what we know and what's still guesswork

  • Dr. Alyssa Dweck on how to judge hormone therapy and supplement claims on the evidence

  • Kwavi Agbeyegbe on what menopause reveals in a marriage

  • Tanya Borowski on bone health, Pippa Campbell on what DUTCH testing actually tells you, Rosie Turner on ADHD, hormones and shame, plus Dr. Kirstey Holland, Janice Taylor, Dr. Catherine Clinton, Tina LeAnn and more

Why this guide is different

There's no camp here. You'll find a doctor who has prescribed testosterone for 30 years and a naturopath who calls herself "therapy agnostic." You'll find gut health, bones, brains, marriages and identity. The goal of the summit, and this guide, is the same: give you the full picture, without fear, so you can make your own decisions.
