Every woman knows the phenomenon--you scream at your kids, you fight with your husband, you eat potato chips by the bag, everything your boss says makes you see red--what is going on???? You go for professional help and the nice shrink says "Here, take these pills for depression or these tranquillizers." And, sure enough, two weeks later you feel great and believe the shrink is a miracle worker. But guess what--it's just your menstural cycle. You're going to be screaming at your kids and fighting with your husband all over again in a few days if you don't read this book and find out what you really need to do is to get on top of your hormones. The way it's explained here, it's not that hard. You need to watch your diet, especially caffeine, alcohol and sugars (the things we automatically turn to!); you need to see a doctor for natural (not synthetic)hormone replacements in some cases; but most of all you need to understand that while you are trying to get on with your life, your body has its own agenda. This book is packed with useful information and is upbeat and easy to read. In short, it's a lifesaver, whether you are a teenager just starting your menstrual cycle or a middle-aged lady still going through the motions.
