Summary: Incredibly irresponsible advice and a bunch of rubbish!
Comment: I read several recommendations of this book so I borrowed it from the library. What a load of rubbish! The more I read, the more I was shaking my head in disbelief. She seems to use this book as a rant about her role in her marriage. Then there's all the random comments about tarot cards and angels, etc. She claims her husband didn't support her when she started her holistic medical centre for women. I couldn't help wondering if perhaps her husband didn't support her because the new age ideas she was bringing into the venture were insane. I also dislike the assumption that we all have emotional baggage to unload which explains our irritability and anger during the transition to menopause. I do believe that a predisposition to depression and other mental health ills will contribute to the extremes of emotions during menopause but that's definitely not the whole of it.
I didn't read that much further. Every so often I would come across something that made sense but there was so little substance it was not worth continuing. I have since read comments about so much incorrect information that I find it frightening that so many women are following her advice and risking their health.

Summary: Eye-opening!
Comment: This book literally changed my life...the way I think, eat and exercise. It has influenced my priorities, emotions and health and I recommend it not only to all women going through menopause...but to all women PERIOD; young and old. I even encourage all MEN to read this to better understand the women in their life and what they go through. It was an easy, fast read and I keep it handy to refer to it often as a resource. I so related to her perspective - Can't wait to read her other books!

Summary: Superb and a Most Essential Book for all Women to Read
Comment: Brillian book, most essential for all women to read in their years leading up to the menopause. It addresses all aspects of symptons all women will experience at some point in their life, gives you remedies for a natural approach to handle it or what you should ask your doctor should you need more help. It also gives you scenarios from real people she has treated, which I am sure some women can relate to. Most of all it gives you some reasoning and direction for what is happening in your body and why it happens. It is a bible for all women.
