Every woman should read this book

Such good information! Great read! Knowledge is power! I keep going back to chapters to listen again. Started taking magnesium and noticed it has helped right away!

Every woman should read this book!

Doctors know very little about womens hormones. Do yourself a favor and read this book.

The most helpful book

So much information and such good delivery. I needed to understand what was happening and this book was such a great resource.

Every woman in her forty’s should read this

I can’t stop recommending this book to friends and loved ones. Very minor tweaks I’ve made because of this book have already relieved brain fog and indigestion. I feel I will revisit this as I make my way towards menopause.

Interesting read on preparing for menopause

T her information reinforces a lot of what naturopaths and the functional medicine world says about taking care of yourself. Eat well, get sufficient rest, reduce stress, and exercise. Not a long list, but definitely lots of lifestyle choices to get us off course. Narrator sounded a little robotic.

Every Woman Should Read this Book!

My CNM recommended this book and I loved every minute of it. So informative. Wish this was information taught to all girls in school.

The author reads the book and her voice is so calm and soothing. Highly recommend.

The body speaks to us and tells us what it needs, we have to learn to listen to it

It is an excellent book to recommend, not only for women in peri-menopause or menopause, but also for those who are closer to these stages, with the aim of becoming aware of the changes that are coming and an excellent book to recommend to men for that they can understand us from a more empathetic position and can support us and understand how wonderful a woman's body is.

One nit: should have read this 5 years earlier :)

Great info, narrator has a beautifully calming voice. Wish I had read this earlier. Would have saved me lots of experimenting with supplements.

Too much and yet not enough

If you want to beg or bargain with your doctor for treatment, this is the book for you. While the author delivers an amazing amount of information, I found myself continuously mad and yelling back at my phone.

Menopause is generally presented in the book as a wonderful, peaceful transition filled with temporary minor symptoms, which was far from my experience. I imagine that any woman with that experience is not looking for the advice in this book.

And if you do want to act on the author's advice, her "how to talk to your doctor" sections all suggest to say, "doctor, I've heard progesterone is good for sleep, is it okay if I take some?" Like you are a 12 year old asking to go to a party.

I understand the author isn't a doctor and needs to protect herself, but the continuous "talk to your doctor" advice is bogus. I had to go to 4 doctors before one would consider hormone replacement therapy for a menopausal woman.

So just fair warning. Lots of information here, but you're still basically on your own.

Edit: I just finished the book and decided to get some of the supplemental information the author suggests the reader print out. I also wanted to review recommended dosages of supplements since there is no possible way to remember it all when listening. We'll.... There are no supplemental articles, PDFs or appendices included with this book. So frustrating.

I am so tempted to lower my rating, but instead, I'll just suggest you purchase the paper copy instead of the audio book. At least you'll get all the info that the book includes.
