In her latest release, McCarthy opens up about what it’s like to ride menopause’s “full hormonal circus,” per the book’s synopsis, including its physical and emotional effects, from brain fog to “existential crises triggered by bruised bananas at Trader Joes.”
I’m Too Hot for This S#!+ also includes interviews with figures like author and specialist Dr. Mary Claire Haver, naturopath Jennifer Sierzant and Dr. Kirsten Singler, McCarthy’s personal functional medicine doctor.

“Since the publication of my book, Belly Laughs, I have been telling the naked truth, whether it’s the cringe-inducing things no one tells us about pregnancy, sharing openly what we all secretly feel and fear about being new mothers or laying it bare when it comes to just surviving life,” McCarthy says. “Now, I’m telling the truth about menopause.”
