Product Description
In the first edition of this important bestselling book, praised by Newsday as “the bible for a whole generation of menopausal women,” renowned physician and pioneering women’s health advocate Dr. Susan Love warned about the potential dangers of the long-term prescription of hormone replacement therapy. Her insightful words of caution have been backed up by the stunning results of the recent studies on hormone replacement. In this revised edition, Dr. Love offers a remarkably clear set of guidelines as to what the studies have shown about the risks regarding heart disease, breast cancer, stroke, and other conditions, and what effect hormone therapy has on osteoporosis. She offers definitive expert advice about whether or not to go on hormone replacement therapy and, if so, for how long, as well as how to taper off hormones; and she introduces the alternative methods for treating the symptoms of menopause. Dr. Love stresses that menopause is not a disease that needs to be cured—it is a natural life stage, and every woman ought to choose her own mix of options for coping with symptoms. A questionnaire about your own health history and life preferences helps you develop a program that will best fit your unique needs. With clarity and compassion, she walks you through every option for both the short and the long term, including:• lifestyle changes (diet, exercise, and stress management) • alternative therapies (including herbs and homeopathic remedies) • available medications other than hormones

This was the perfect book for me when hot flashes started making my life a living hell!!! I felt miserable and had extreme insomnia - well Dr. Loves book covers all options - natural vs HRT and what is best for you. There is even a test to help you decide the best choices based on your family history and lifestyle. Her book shows the results of all the clinical trials which is great information. Happy to say - 3 months after making my own choices from Dr. Love's book I am sleeping all night and have no more hot flashes with progesteren cream and herbal supplements!!! Thank you Susan Love!!!!

I would highly recommend this book to any woman who wants to get all the facts on menopause and the variety of treatments out there. I have Dr. Love's book on breast cancer and found that one to be a helpful resource as well.

I read this book cover to cover-it's a little dry in places, but that's what you want in a resource-all the pertinent info available. I have gone back to this book several times for enlightenment as I am going through this stage in my life and different health/body issues have come up for me. This is a book every perimenopausal woman should have on hand for reassurance and guidance.
