Books by Dr. Sheila de Liz

Knowing your own body and hormones is the foundation for health and self-determination. Yet topics like puberty, sexuality, menopause, or endometriosis are still too often treated as taboo – with the result that women recognize symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, fatigue, or vaginal dryness too late, or don’t take them seriously at all.

This is exactly where Dr. med. Sheila de Liz comes in. In her books, she explains the medical background around hormone health, menopause, hormone therapy, and bioidentical hormones clearly, honestly, and without wagging a finger – grounded in decades of clinical experience, yet easy to understand for every reader. Her books guide girls through puberty, take a close look at the female body, debunk myths around perimenopause, offer honest answers on sexuality at any age, and finally give women with endometriosis the knowledge they’ve often lacked for years.

No matter what stage of life you’re in – every woman will find the right read with Dr. Sheila de Liz. Education builds confidence, and that’s exactly what makes these books so important: they give women back their knowledge, and with it, a measure of control over their own health.

Everything About the Fabulous Female Body

In this foundational book, Dr. Sheila de Liz answers the questions many women never dare to ask: How often should I check my own breasts? Where can pain during sex come from? What does a fibroid in the uterus mean? Which contraceptive method is right for me – and what's the deal with the G-spot, anyway?

Most women know far too little about their own bodies, even though the basics of gynecology are no more complicated than a Netflix series. In a refreshingly light and easy-to-understand way, Sheila de Liz explains what every woman should know about her hormones, her cycle, and her anatomy – from hormones that behave like Hollywood stars, to the breast as a true multitasker, to the it-girl of female pleasure: the clitoris. A book for anyone who finally wants to understand how their own body really works.

Everything About the Fabulous Menopause

Germany's most popular gynecologist knows: menopause is cooler than we think. Hot flashes, night sweats, sleep problems, mood swings, weight gain, fatigue, or brain fog – hardly any woman faces perimenopause with ease. Yet our image of menopause is hopelessly outdated and badly needs an update.

Dr. Sheila de Liz clears up myths around menopause and hormone deficiency and shows that many women suffer unnecessarily today, and no one simply "has to get through it." Once symptoms are identified, the right knowledge about hormone therapy, hormone replacement therapy, and bioidentical hormones can do a lot for your health and wellbeing. That way, menopause doesn't have to mean stepping back – it can be a fresh start, for a strong, self-determined, and confident life in the second half of life too.

Everything About the "Fabulous" Puberty

Few phases shape a girl's life as much as puberty: a turbulent time in which the body changes dramatically and moods can swing from euphoric to deeply down in an instant. On top of that, girls today face an unprecedented flood of influences through social media, adding even more uncertainty on top of the hormonal upheaval itself.

Dr. Sheila de Liz, better known on TikTok as "Doktorsex," explains with wit, sensitivity, and the courage to tackle even uncomfortable topics what girls really need to know during puberty – and what parents often don't dare to ask. With a foreword by Claudia Schiffer, this book is a compassionate companion for girls and their families through one of the most defining phases in a woman's life.

For the Best Sex of Your Life

Good sex isn't a question of age – quite the opposite: after 25 years in practice, Dr. med. Sheila de Liz knows that the best years for sex often begin after 50. For too long, women have been misled – about menopause, female anatomy, and a supposedly inevitable dry spell in the bedroom.

In this book, Sheila de Liz combines medical insider knowledge with a deep psychological understanding of every woman's "sexual soul." She explains why testosterone is women's true spark for desire, how physical obstacles like pain or vaginal dryness can be medically resolved, and why orgasm is really just the dessert. Informative, honest, and liberating, this book shows how to rediscover your own sexuality – even after 45.
