Customer Reviews

The book that really works!

This well-written, conversational and sensible book provides helpful advice for the perimenopausal woman. Addressing each of the major areas affected by menopause (hormonal, cardiovascular, cognitive/emotional, bone health), Ms. Taylor provides sound, referenced explanations and explores intervention options with the reader including evaluations of efficacy and safety. This book is the Honest Herbal of non-pharmaceutical menopause therapies. I whole-heartedly recommend it not only to women approaching/undergoing menopause, but to their families as well. Additionally, it is an excellent resource for health care practitioners working in the area of women's health who would like to offer their patients non-pharmaceutical intervention options.

Easy to Read and To The Point

I loved this book because it was so easy to read and right to the point. It didn't beat around the bush with a lot of "maybe" and "perhaps" quallifiers - it just told you what works for different symptoms of menopause. It didn't recommend everything, just the supplements or other alternate approaches that science says really work. I've read lots of books on menopause, and this was by far the best.

The truth about menopause cures

This book was truly inspiring. Instead of giving us the same bunch of hogwash about all the things that might help you through menopause, it lists only the things that have been clinically proven with good scientific studies. And the author manages to get this complex (and important) information across with lots of warmth and personal presence. You really feel like you're in her living room talking to her about what really helps get rid of hot flashes or insomnia or a lack of sex drive -- not just what we've already read about over and over.
