Okay, So I Don't Have a Headache: What I Learned (and What All Women Need to Know) about PMS, Hormones, Stress, Diet, Menopause--And Sex

By Cristina Ferrare

Book Overview

Christina Ferrare shocked the country-and herself -when she revealed something very personal on her live talk show, Home and Family- that over the last few years she had experienced a lack of sexual desire. Her relevation prompted appearances on Oprah and Dateline NBC, and she began to hear from hundreds of women who described their own experiences and were glad to know that they were not alone. Based on information from her own doctors and other medical experts and authoritative sources, Okay, So I Don't Have a Headache helps women understand their own bodies and begin to find answers for themselves. Ferrare talks about nutrition, stress, and sexual desire, dealing with the symptoms of menopause and PMS, and how diet, exercise, and relaxation rituals work to keep the body in balance. The book also includes Ferrare's own recipes designed to help out-of-whack hormones.

I AM SENDING COPIES TO MY DAUGHTERS AND MY SISTER.

IT GAVE JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF INFO. THAT A NON-MEDICAL PERSON SHOULD GIVE. I'M GOING TO TRY SOME OF THE RECIPES AND PURSUE SOME OF THE TIPS WITH MY DOCTOR. HE BETTER BE SUPPORTIVE OR HE'S HISTORY! THANKS FOR THE TIPS. CAROLYN -

Thought I was odd for not having the feelings.

This book is great. Easy and fun to read. Very down to earth. It always amazes me how you can feel like you are so alone in the world about something and one person with enough gumption says it out loud and you then find out you are 1 of millions. The recipes in the back are great. It shows how to put her advise to good use. Very sound advise from a lady with her head on straight.

Very informative and enlightening

This book gives a real down to earth insight on what the majority of women experience but are reluctant to talk about. the recipes are great too!!
