Publisher's summary

Women considering hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for menopause symptoms and health benefits should listen to this controversial, provocative audiobook first.

"Advertising and research dollars are spent trying to convince women that estrogen will cure everything from heart disease to Alzheimer's," writes John R. Lee, MD, "but there is scant evidence for any of these claims and reams of evidence that synthetic estrogens are highly toxic and carcinogenic."

Lee has studied the research and concludes that estrogen is not the magic bullet for protection against heart disease and osteoporosis, nor does it retard aging. Natural progesterone, instead, puts postmenopausal women's hormones in balance, says Lee. He cites study after study that indicates that natural progesterone, obtained in cream form, delivers what the usual HRT only promises.

"Menopause as a disease has been largely fabricated by physicians and the pharmaceutical industry," says this leader of a "quiet but powerful revolution" regarding HRT.

What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Menopause covers the benefits of natural progesterone, the history and politics of the medical and drug establishment, the biochemistry and dynamics of hormones and how they get out of balance, and how to prevent hormone imbalance and stay healthy. Lee empowers you to ask hard questions of your doctor.

MUST READ!!! AMAZING….

This is an incredible book, I wish all doctors would be required to read this! I was interested in this book because my hormone tests revealed high levels of estrogen. Of course my idiot doctors first response was to give me estrogen!!!! (Big surprise)
I also had no menstruation for four years and now have osteopenia at 42!!!
This book shares such a wealth of information, I wish I had read it 10 years ago. Ladies, please read this book -you will learn so much. We live in a time where we really need to take our health into our own hands. We have to educate ourselves. This book is a winner.

A book about only progesterone

I feel the title of the book should be about progesterone. Not really helpful to someone with an overall hormone imbalance only one with a progesterone imbalance.

Very informational

It goes into depth explaining medical terms and lots of definitions which is good but I'm not sure every reader will understand the details and importance of them. I liked it. I understood it fine but I've been doing lots of research. Worth the time for me.

Not what I had hoped

I got this book after finding out I am in menopause and wanted more information. There is a lot of information in this book and as a hard copy is probably great. It covers so many different topics that it is hard to navigate what information is needed as an audiobook. Also, there is a great deal of repeat information that a few times I questioned if I had changed chapters without realizing it. Overall good information but not a good audiobook for me.
