Book Reviews of What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Premenopause: Balance Your Hormones and Your Life From Thirty to Fifty
Book Review: A must read, but consult first
Summary: 5 Stars
I am not a beliver in many things. I am a hard core skeptic. But I am sold on this book. I have bought multiple copies and handed them out to my girlfriends, something I have never done before.
This books will inform you at the very least. Some people in the reviews say Dr. Lee's science is bad. While he explains what happens at the celluar level with hormones, this isn't a science book. I think there is still a great deal about women's bodies in particular that we just don't understand. Science or no science, my experience and that of many other women speaks for itself. I would agree though, that before starting any type of HRT, you should consult with your doctor.
I had all the troubles of a hormone shift described in this book. Not only were they getting worse, they had a compoubnding effect. I was finding it hard to sleep at night and that worsened the mood and energy levels during the day. I was exercising 5 times a week with a very good personal trainer, watching my nutrition without seeing a change in my BMI. I am a very stable, naturally happy, healthy, and together person, but I was feeling out of control of my emotions and my life. And I was managing people. It was starting to hurt my rapport with my employees.
For three years, I complained to my doctor who ran all the blood tests to see if there was an imbalance and couldn't find anything. But I just knew that it was a hormone thing. I started my research and this is the only book I found written specifically for women in their thirties who aren't pregnant. I read this book and it was like an epiphany. I talked to my doctor about it and she agreed pretty much with what Doctors Lee and Hanley had to say beacause I have no other health problems. And, talking to my older sisters and my mother, there seems to be a family history of estrogen dominance (which can be caused by estrogen levels that are too high or too low - something Dr. Lee points out). She put me on natural progesterone pills. Within 6 weeks, I dropped 2 pants sizes, and had no more PMS symptoms to speak of. I was back to being myself. I continue to do very well. I have been able to cut back on the exercise, I can eat more freely without the bloating and weight gain, and I am feeling much more in control of myself and my life. My doctor tells me that natural progesterone can't really hurt you (unless pregnant). My mother's doctor told her the same thing and she is 84!
Summary of What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Premenopause: Balance Your Hormones and Your Life From Thirty to Fifty
Are you a woman between 35 and 50 experiencing PMS, migraine headaches, sudden weight gain, fatigue, irritability, tender or lumpy breasts, memory loss, fibroids, or cold hands and feet? If so, you may be experiencing symptoms of premenopause. Even if you're a decade or more away from menopause, your hormones may already be out of balance, usually caused by an excess of estrogen and a deficiency of progesterone, say the authors of What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Premenopause. John Lee, M.D., is a well-known advocate of the benefits of natural progesterone and the author of What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Menopause. Jesse Hanley, M.D., adds sensitivity to the emotional and spiritual aspects of premenopause. The authors recommend natural progesterone cream to balance your hormones, eliminate premenopausal symptoms, and make you feel better. They also discuss the dangers of xenohormones--substances not found in nature that have hormonal effects--frequently found in pesticides, solvents, plastics, and hormone-treated meat. The book presents common symptoms of premenopause with suggested natural treatments (progesterone cream, diet, vitamins, and herbs) and substances to avoid, plus additional chapters on diet and exercise. Many case studies help to bring the information into perspective. If you are premenopausal (or close to someone who is), this is a valuable resource. --Joan PriceAre you a woman between 35 and 50 experiencing PMS, migraine headaches, sudden weight gain, fatigue, irritability, tender or lumpy breasts, memory loss, fibroids, or cold hands and feet?
