This one hit my favorite meter! Suzanne did an excellent job compiling information, interviewing doctors (with summaries at the end of each interview), a few patient stories, information on male menopause (andropause), yoga, beauty (good haircut, makeup, dressing)--not plastic surgery.
Throughout the book there are mentions of how U.S. food is poisoning us. Our meat and dairy products are full of synthetic hormones and other chemicals and our fruits and veggies are loaded with pes...more

This was amazing with all of the information and symptoms tied to low hormones. It was an easy read even though there was a lot of information from doctors and information about the effects on your body. The suggestions seemed a little overwhelming at times even though I realize I probably shouldn't eat sugar at all ever for the rest of my life it still seems a little extreme but I can still take what I want from it and be better off.
Suzanne delivers some great insight into the world of hormonal changes, for women and men, and gives one hope that life doesn't have to be filled with the "seven dwarfs of menopause". She sheds light on the damage we have done to our bodies through skin care products, antibiotics to birth control. She also lets us know that we do not have to "settle" for the drugs and synthetic hormones our doctors like to push on us. There is definitely hope and a beautiful life waiting a...more
It is extremely important for women to take charge of thier personal health. Investigate, question, research and don't be afraid to look to nature for the answer. the FDA authorizes medications and proceedures everyday that have ruined peoples lives or not enhanced in the least. The excuse it is not FDA approved does not work for me anymore because the medication that was approved ruined my liver. Its back to nature for me. This book reinforced that I was not paranoid and there is a better ...more
Oh how I'm looking forward to menopause! Hopefully that's still far far away... It gave me a better understanding, and a glimpse of what is going on in the lives of some older woman that I know. :) I just hope by the time I need help our doctors will routinely screen our levels. The eating organically/healthy is a bug duh, but I liked it.
I really think EVERYONE should read this, girls, men and women of all ages. It's so informative and amazing to learn so much about a body I've been living in for decades. If you've ever taken a birth control pill, been pregnant, an abortion or a hot flash, you MUST read this book!
Perhaps if I didn't know anything about the topic up to now I would have given a different review, but I felt she padded the book with reiteration. She could have said everything well once and had a 40 page concise reference work. She does have helpful advice.
No wonder why my Boss ask me to read this book...
This book makes people understand about their hormone and ageless. It because Hormone promises many benefits for both men and women,the main benefit being reverse aging. Some of the other claims made about hormone is that it can help enhance your metabolism,or increase muscle mass, helps in calcium retentionin your body, helps in keeping bones healthy, reduces fat in the body, helps in controlling sugar and insulin levels, helps in im...more

She has done a lot of research--used herself as the guinea pig..lots of important info..but I don't necessarily agree with it all.
This book confirmed much of what I have always thought. I haven't read a book I dog-eared, highlighted and flagged so much since college.
This book changed my life. Everyone should be made aware or alternative medicine and Suzanne is just the woman to school you on it.
I enjoyed reading this bood. Opened my eyes to alot of things I didn't ubderstand about the ageing process.
A new discovery for me, I'll never put it down, will eternally use it as reference!I just love it!
A very interesting approach to ageing, sounds like the miracle for staying young.
i like the topic, but i think suzanne sommers is a little sensationalist
Every single woman in her 40s needs to read this book!
With all of the advances in technology and all of the information available to women, this book still manages to find a gap in the knowledge base, and fills it. Suzanne Somers, although more well known for her acting, is pioneering the way for women to be able to get the help that they so desperately need as they enter perimenopause and menopause. Suzanne's research and apparent depth of knowledge on hormones is astounding to me. I read this book when it first came out and have to say it has cha...more
I'm not sure if I'll go back & read this or not. I am definitely not looking for a book like this to read at this time so I am going to return it to the library.

Very informative and thought provoking. It is not Suzanne Somers giving her opinion, but rather Suzanne interviewing 16 different Doctors who are all experts in their fields. She also shares personal details about her own health and experiences with cancer.

Highly recommended by my doctor, I am enlightened by how ignorant and trusting we really are about our bodies.
I am encuraged to be able to learn about bioidenticals and how they can really provide the body a safer way to good health.

Really enjoyed this book - I learnt alot from both the interviews with the doctors and Suzanne's personal experience.
So far this book is incredibly well researched and written... I recommend it to anyone approaching menopause.
Great health book for men and women especially if you are mid 30's on up.
I have been very interested in reading about bioidentical hormones.
a must read for any 40-year-old woman with pms
reading still in progress, to better understand the hormone cancer debate and what doctors may not want you to know about it
