The Only Menopause Guide You'll Need

Review by Echecs, 2010-08-05

A must read for any woman going through, or going to go through menopause. It's like sitting down with a woman doctor that not only has been through this phase, but has also helped many, many women go through it as well. It covers hormonal therapy, homeopathic therapies and all the things to watch out for.


The Only Menopause Guide You'll Need by D. Moore

Review by E. Bradford, 2008-10-30

Its a good thing this book wasn't too long, because it explained alot about the effects of supplements for hormonal imbalance but did not get into the psychological side of menopause. It didn't provide me with what I was looking for in a resource but I may get more out of it as I pass through this phase of my life.


A must read for all women

Very comprehensive, easy to read

Review by Donene Blair, 2001-04-03

I first checked out this book from the library, along with other books on menopause, and was immediately captivated by it. There were so many things I wanted to highlight, that I decided I had to have a copy of the book for myself. It addresses how to deal with physical and emotional symptoms of menopause, along with tips for general good health. Highly recommended!
