4.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent discussion of menopausal "management" options.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Estrogen Decision: Self Help Book (Paperback)
Well written and to the point, this book ably explains what women need to know about available options for dealing with menopause-related symptoms and conditions. I particularly liked the meal-planning and recipe section. I normally don't even read this part of a book, but this one is different. The recipes are very creative in the way they incorporate healthful ingredients such as flax meal and tofu. The one area in which I found the book lacking--and the reason I didn't rate it as 5 stars--was its failure to even mention Natural Hormone Replacement Therapy (as espoused by Jonathan Wright, M.D.).

4.0 out of 5 stars
good info but weak in alternatives,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Estrogen Decision: Self Help Book (Paperback)
I have found most of Dr. Lark's books to be professionally thorough and have turned to them numerous times. This time, however, I was a bit disappointed. She is too tentative in her exploration/explanation of alternative or natural nutritional supplements to see us through menopause. I am in the perimenopausal stage and have referred to my favorite site, iHerb, for alternatives. Based on iHerb's information, I have started on a Black Cohosh blend and a wild yam cream that is helping. Stay away from DHEA, but go with the other, natural phytoestregers that iHerb offers and check out other books that are a bit braver in their endorsement of these alternatives.
