Long before Angelina Jolie made headlines with her preventative surgeries, Lisa Jey Davis was already urging at-risk women to get screened for BRCA genetic mutations. Having undergone similar procedures herself, she appeared on The Doctors and was featured by KTLA in Los Angeles, along with national print, radio, and media outlets, to raise awareness.
So, she thought…that she knew what she was signing up for.
She didn’t.
When Lisa underwent the removal of her ovaries at 45, her doctors covered the basics. Hormones would need to be replaced. That was the headline.
What they did not explain was the reality.
Her body would be pushed abruptly into menopause. Or, as she prefers to call it, “Orchids” because “menopause” sounds like something you catch, not survive. Her system would interpret the shift as accelerated aging, with physical, emotional, and psychological effects that were anything but minor.
Which is how a fully informed, media-savvy advocate ended up asking a wildly inconvenient question:
Why didn’t anyone tell me this part?
Despite the shock, the hormonal chaos, and a few deeply unwelcome plot twists, Lisa was not about to slow down, not with her background in yoga, Pilates, and Lagree Fitness keeping her grounded.
Still, reality has a way of showing up uninvited.
The mirror started offering unsolicited feedback. Her hair developed opinions. The “monthly bloat” quietly reestablished itself as a long-term tenant, transforming into full blown weight gain. And somewhere in the middle of it all, it became clear that this was not going to be a graceful fade into anything.
Fine.
If this was happening, she was going to own it.
What followed is a candid, sharply observed, and frequently hilarious deep dive into surgical menopause and everything that comes with it, including the parts no one puts in pamphlets. Equal parts personal reckoning and survival guide, Getting Over Your Ovaries – How to Make “The Change of Life” Your Bitch doesn’t pretend this phase is pretty.
It just makes it survivable. And, occasionally, funny.
Whether you are heading into menopause, already in it, or collateral damage to someone who is, this book delivers what most conversations don’t:
The truth, a strategy (that just might work), and just enough humor to keep you from throwing something at the nearest person breathing too loudly.
