I'm Too Young for This!: The Natural Hormone Solution to Enjoy Perimenopause

up to date, friendly, sympathetic not patronising, even inspiring information on how women can escape the torment that often accompanies menopause. Only problem for many will be the cost because the author is able to afford the many tests and treatments in the USA which may be a little more advanced in this area not sure. On the NHS it would be almost impossible to get any of this diagnosis or treatment probably again due to funding and also patients have to do as they are told a lot more when the state is paying. Interesting read.

AllWen should read this bookWhy are us girls not taught this stuff at school instead of ( housewifery )

Great book if your going through peri menopause or have hormone probs, very helpfull

Its great that Suzanne does so much to bring the benefit of BHRT/alternative medicine/supplementation to all of us (inlcuding men!) but all her books resonate around her - it would be so refreshing to pick up one of her books and read about others' experiences and not just about her, her doctor friends in high places and the lifestyle she can afford. I'm probably being a it harsh - but I have read a lot of her books (the one on doctors curing cancer is a real eye opener - well done Suzanne!) and for the most part they are helpful but always with a BIG dose of look how good I am..........and not much realism wrt how most women live and juggle the many facets of their lives.All in all though I would far rather read her useful info than be starved of its life saving qualities. If you are perimenopausal its a must!

A must read for all women

Good book

i love her books, real eye opener

Fast delivery. Item as described

A must havve book for any woman 35 or over!

Este libro es de obligada lectura para toda mujer de más de 35 para entender su cuerpo en la perimenopausia (etapa comprendida entre los 2 y 12 años antes de la menopausia), una fase con muchos síntomas que los médicos tratan como si fueran síntomas aislados cuando todos proceden del declive hormonal.Muy ameno y claro, explica cómo funcionan tus hormonas tantos las importantes como las sexuales. Te explica qué sucede en tu cuerpo y el porqué de los síntomas cuando hay exceso o déficit. Además habla de un tema controvertido, el de las hormonas sintéticas y los problemas que han creado (cáncer, principalmente) con mucha literatura científica por si te interesa ahondar más allá del libro y presenta la gran revolución de las hormonas bioidénticas que eliminan los síntomas de la perimenopausia y la menopausia y protegen en un alto porcentaje de enfermedades que surgen décadas después de las mismas (cáncer, alzheimer y cardiopatías)También explica por qué hay tanta polémica con estas últimas y la campaña de descrédito que hay en torno a ellas principalmente por una industria, la farmacéutica, que no puede patentar algo que ya procede de la naturaleza y no pueden sacar tajada de estas por lo que intentan por todos los medios tirarlo por tierra. La mujer ha sido siempre la gran olvidada de la medicina y esto es una gran revolución para envejecer con salud. Ya no estamos vendidas cuando llegamos a esa época.Gracias Suzanne por ser una pionera dándonos todo este conocimiento y a los doctores valientes como el doctor Wright por desafiar a la medicina moderna, un hombre sin ego que decidió investigar y mejorar la vida de las mujeres.

I am eager to share with women who are past (way past) menopause and who experience changes in their bodies that are not wanted (weight gain, belly fat, foggy thinking, lack of motivation, trouble urinating, lack of super-muscle strength, forgetfulness, skin changes such as eczema, saggy skin under the chin and/or on upper arms--a list of all the things that depict aging) to read this book. Suzanne's writings confirmed what I suspected about myself. (I have two other books from different authors--all good--so that I can compare information. They all agree on the fundimentals, that it is perfectly safe to use (cream) or ingest (pills) IF the estrogen is bio-identical. Beware that even soy and wild yam in products can first undergo laboratory processing, and then it is no longer advised to use/take. In those cases, the end product is Diosgenin, and it would not be considered bio-identical. I started to feel better one day after starting on a simple estrogen cream (Amazon) as well as taking supplements. I highly recommend that if you are experiencing the above-mentioned symptoms, don't wait any longer to do something about it. Suzanne Somers has interviewed doctors and has a lot of experience in this field, and she is living proof we can be better. I wish I did this 6 years ago, but I'm sure glad I started. I'm only doing this 4 days, and I am thrilled to say that I feel at least 30% to 50% stronger, more energized, more focused, more pleasant, more like I used to, and I wake up without the alarm after just a few hours sleep (my lifetime routine). I hope many women benefit from this. I highly recommend this book. Easy reading and chock full of information that will help you.

I've read most of Suzanne Somers' books over the years. Suzanne's books encouraged me to look into bio-identical hormones, and I've been on them ever since (about 15 years ago). I've been fortunate to have found a doctor who will prescribe bio-identical hormones because most doctors will not even talk to me since I'm on medicare, and Medicare does not pay the doctors enough to warrant the time the doctor will need to spend with a patient, which is so wrong. Most doctors know next to nothing about bio-identical hormones. They confuse bio-identical hormones, which are made in a compounding pharmacy, with Premarin and Provera, both pharmaceutical drugs, which were the hormone drugs used in the infamous Women's Health Initiative,There is a book, Estrogen Matters, by Avrum Bluming, MD, and Carol Tavris, PhD., which discusses this Initiative, and also discusses how important estrogen is for women's bodies and health. Dr. Bluming recommends Premarin, however, which I suppose is better than not taking estrogen, but I have found that Estradiol/Estriol and Progesterone made in a compounding pharmacy work so much better. Premarin is made from horse urine, which is the estrogen choice of pharmaceutical drug companies.I so appreciate it that Suzanne Somers will share her experiences. I learn so much from her. All I can say is do your research, read all you can about bio-identical hormones, and then decide for yourself what you want to do. There is another book, Stay Young & Sexy with Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement, by Jonathan V. Wright, MD; I highly recommend it, also. Other books I highly recommend are Natural Hormone Balance for Women by Uzzi Reiss, MD/OB.GYN, and The Hormone Solution, by Thierry Hertoghe, MD; the two latter books are older, but are full of good information. And I recommend all of Suzanne Somers' books on bio-identical hormones and health.I got this book (I'm Too Young For This!) for my daughters, actually. I want them to have good lives, enjoy good health, vitality, good brains, and energy. Unfortunately, after menopause, women lose their hormones, and with those losses, a woman really needs some help. This book can help! I can honestly say that bio-identical hormones are the most important thing in my life.

Before reading this book, I really thought there was something seriously wrong with me. After reading the book, I have decided to take control of my health....Called the doctor, had my hormone level checked, come to find out my levels were all over the place. Started an exercise routine, I am eating better, things are good.A very informative book, woman who are approaching menapause should for sure read this book.
