Val Foreman is the founder of Velvet Leaf Books. She spent years building a career in analytics, and that background shaped how she approaches everything she writes: ask good questions, dig into the research, and don't settle for an easy answer when a better one is out there. She's a lifelong learner who believes the best way to help someone is to teach them, not just tell them what to do. Her favorite quote sums it up:

"Give me food, and I'll eat for a day; teach me how to fish, and I will have food for a lifetime."

Menopause Beyond Basics grew out of her own experience. When perimenopause hit, she didn't recognize herself: severe migraines, body aches, irritability, and a mental fog that made her feel like she'd lost access to her own mind. She went from doctor to doctor without answers, misdiagnosed more than once, until she found a physician who actually listened and ordered the hormone testing that finally explained what was happening. That experience, and the research she did to make sense of it, is what she turned into this book: the map she wishes she'd had.

Val lives in North Carolina with her husband and her fur cat, drawn there by the mild winters and the beautiful mountains that make it easy to slow down and think.
