EXCELLENT REFERENCE BOOK FOR WOMEN 35 AND OVER

I AM 41 NOW AND THIS BOOK HAS HELPED ME A LOT, AS A MATTER OF FACT THIS IS THE SECOND ONE I BUY, I GAVE MY FIRST TO A FRIEND, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT ! COVERS EVERYTHING WE GO THROUGH, THE TITLE IS VERY APPROPRIATE, THE CHANGE BEFORE THE CHANGE, READ IT!

Thank you Dr Laura!

Excellent book, great suggestions for relief, easy read

Awesome book. So informative and encouraging

As an Labor and Delivery nurse, I have to get Continuing Educational Units for my license. This book was the text book for a at-home course. Anyway, knowing that I have some of the symptoms of perimenopause, I wanted to learn more about what I was going through and where it was all going. This book did all that and more.Excellently written for the lay person or professional. Covers symptoms, pathophysiology (what is going on in the body), what to expect, what to do about it.....and maybe what other physical problems may be occurring that are not related to perimenopause and could be misdiagnosed.The book made me giggle several times...."oh yeah, I am doing that...oh and that, too. You learn that you are not losing your mind, that it is all a natural process and YES, you can do something about it to ease the journey.Actually, the woman's body is pretty amazing. It goes through so many changes throughout life. Sure keeps life interesting...grin.So now I am purchasing the book for my friend...who ran out of the restaurant/bar the other night having a hot flash...she worries that something is not right...grin.I am sure this will help.

Where have you been, Laura Corio?

I am thrilled with this book and looking forward to recommending it to my friends, family and patients with whom I have shared many of these symptoms without understanding what my body was trying to tell me. What a relief to know what's happening, to know what to do, to have this information come in such a thoroughly researched, easy to read, engaging book.

An excellent book

This book was amazingly written.The book provoked much thought. It provides compelling essenstial information about perimenapause, which is the stage before menapause in women. The author talks about what a woman should do to stay health today. Everyone should buy it!
