About Us

Nobody Told Me was born out of frustration.

Frustration with vague answers. Frustration with being dismissed. Frustration with the fact that millions of women are walking around in their 40s feeling anxious, exhausted, foggy, and unlike themselves — and nobody is telling them why.

We are a small independent wellness publishing company with one mission: to give women the honest, practical information about perimenopause that the medical system too often fails to provide. Not fear-mongering. Not false promises. Just clear, well-researched, experience-led guidance written by women who have been through it.

Our author — Marie Fontaine

Nobody Told Me was written by Marie Fontaine, a writer and independent wellness researcher based in Canada who spent years navigating perimenopause largely on her own. After being dismissed by multiple doctors, told her bloodwork was normal, and handed a prescription for antidepressants she didn't need, Marie took matters into her own hands.

She spent two years reading peer-reviewed research, consulting specialists, talking to other women, and documenting everything that actually helped. The result is Nobody Told Me — a guide backed by 37 cited sources, grounded in real experience, and written with the warmth and honesty of someone who has genuinely been in the thick of it.

Marie is not a doctor. She will be the first to tell you that. What she is, is a woman who figured it out the hard way and refused to keep it to herself.

What we believe

We believe that women deserve complete, honest information about their own bodies. We believe that perimenopause is one of the most significant and most overlooked health transitions a woman will go through. And we believe that the right information, delivered with care and without judgment, can genuinely change how a woman experiences this chapter of her life.

Every word in this guide was written with that belief at its core.

Our promise to you

Nobody Told Me is not a medical treatment. It is not a substitute for professional care. What it is, is the most honest, thorough, and compassionate guide to perimenopause we know how to write — grounded in research, built on experience, and made for women who are tired of being told everything is fine when it isn't.
