Book Overview
This book is needed more than ever. The National Institute of Health interrupted their huge HRT (hormone replacement therapy) study in July 2002 after they found that Prempro, a combination of estrogen and progestin, had detrimental health effects which include an increased risk for breast cancer, heart disease, and stroke. This new edition examines the latest information about HRT and the safer alternatives. It completely validates the author's long-held bias against HRT and shows women, whether perimenopausal, menopausal, or postmenopausal, how they can maintain and improve their health and well-being without the use of synthetic hormones. The book offers complete information on menopausal symptoms and effects and ways to alleviate them. Updated sections cover heart disease (including hormonal effects, the role of cholesterol, diet, and supplements), osteoporosis, and breast cancer. The section on exercise and nutrition for health and weight is completely rewritten. The latest information on non-hormonal remedies to balance hormones is what is needed by every woman wanting to avoid HRT.

As the founder and host of HotFlash! the perimenopause and menopause web site and online support group, I have read literally dozens of books about perimenopause and menopause. Linda Ojeda's book Menopause Without Medicine stands out for its natural holistic approach to both perimenopause and menopause. This book empowers women to take care of their health. I often recommend this wonderful book to my support group memebers. Ms. Ojeda has done an extensive job in outlining effective and healthy strategies to combat the potentially life altering effects of perimenopause/menopause. Her book is easy to read and understand and comes complete with excellent resources. She covers everything from sleep troubles to how to get control PMS. This book is a tremendous resource for any woman who wants to feel and look better.
