5.0 out of 5 stars Review, revelation and resolve, March 8, 2006

This review is from: Awakening Athena: Resilience, Restoration, and Rejuvenation for Women (Paperback)

Dr. Stephenson's historical review of hormone replacement therapy was a revelation for me. Being a pharmacist, I wanted to become better informed on this topic, especially given the recent controversy, and this book provided me with this. Her well referenced, easy to read writing style would appeal to anyone whether one has or hasn't a medical background. Many of the patients in the case studies had the same problems as the people in my life, which made me reflect and realize that women have it much harder than men. At least this book can help. So, all women should read this book then give it to their doctors to read; it's in your best interest.

This review is from: Awakening Athena: Resilience, Restoration, and Rejuvenation for Women (Paperback)

There are not enough words to describe the benefits that I have derived from this book. Dr. Stephenson is an astute learner and compassionate physician who does not believe that all the women in the world can be medicated with the same hormonal dosage. "Awakening Athena" is more then your average women's health book. It delves into all areas of women's health with an open mind and a conviction to apply varies therapeutic modalities. It will be my guidebook to assist me in receiving quality health care.

Dr. Stephenson gives hope to women who's concerns have been dismissed by doctors and society. Awakening Athena affirms that our intuition is legitimate and should be heard. Dr. Stephenson gives wonderfully practical advice to help all women increase their quality of life. This is an empowering book for women of all ages, encouraging them to take control over their health.
