I downloaded this book to read on my Kindle not sure of what to expect. I found it to be full of useful information. The author, Dr. Holly Thacker, is one of the foremost menopausal experts in America. The Center for Specialized Women's Health at the Cleveland Clinic, which she directs, has a unique and wonderful approach for treatiing patients dealing with a wide variety of issues related to hormones.There is a great deal of information being circulated these days by both the internet and the media. Some of it is accurate. Some of it isn't. If you are looking for some clarity regarding possible safe treatments for perimenopause or menopausal symptoms this book will be of great help to you. It will at least give you options while debunking some of the myths that have caused many women to suffer needlessly by avoiding FDA approved treatments due to fear.I was able to get through the entire book in one day. Obviously I'll be referring back to it in the future. The author has written it in every day language so that the reader will easily understand. Her goal is not necessarily to push you the way of traditional medicine. Or at least that is not the impression that I had while reading. Her desire is to clarify misunderstandings and bring hope to women who have come to believe that there is no help available during this deep transition in life.I highly recommend reading this book. At the very least it will offer you better understanding of your body, and its needs. It also has the possibility of assisting you in making some important decisions about your overall health and well-being.I believe that men & women can both benefit from reading Dr. Thacker's book.
