Book recommendation for you!

I have her menopause book (planning ahead, I'm in peri-) and I think it's quite good. I think she's more new age than some feel comfortable with, but as with all books, take what's useful & helpful, and leave the rest behind. I feel her approach is pro-woman, pro-health (rather than just treating symptoms), and accepting of good alternative medicine. I also like that she encourages women to develop real relationships with their bodies, trusting their own instincts and intuitions. My own approach now is that we are our own primary physicians, responsible for learning about our bodies and actively keeping ourselves healthy. Everyone else we go to - is a second opinion.

I agree fully! I have a lot of friends who have health issues,and follow what their Dr says but are not any better. I wish anti depressants where not given out so much. I have a friend who has been on them for years and I don't feel they help. It seems they have caused lots of other side problems. That is just my opinion I could be wrong.
