Dr. Edelman's journey into medical writing started during college when she edited the Yale Health Plan newsletter. This experience ignited her passion for educating others about health issues, which has only grown throughout her career. Motivated by the need for accurate, evidence-based information amidst a sea of conflicting data, she authored "Menopause Matters: Your Guide to a Long and Healthy Life," published by Johns Hopkins University Press in January 2010. This comprehensive guide addresses the myriad mental and physical changes women face during perimenopause and menopause, providing practical strategies for managing symptoms and improving overall health.

The book has garnered international acclaim, earning Dr. Edelman the title of "Menopause Practitioner of the Year" from the North American Menopause Society in 2010. Her dedication to empowering women through education is evident in her writing, where she incorporates real-life patient vignettes that illuminate the challenges and triumphs women face during this transitional phase of life.

Following the success of "Menopause Matters," Dr. Edelman expanded on the famous chapter about sleep, resulting in her second book, "Successful Sleep Strategies for Women." published by Harvard Health Publications in September 2012. This work further underscores her commitment to addressing critical health issues women face.

Continued Commitment to Innovation and Independence

With decades of experience in private practice, Dr. Edelman values her independence, which allows her to explore and implement innovative treatments without the constraints often found in larger medical institutions.
