Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Bender (PMS: Women Tell Women How To Control Premenstrual Syndrome, New Harbinger, 1996), the founder of Full Circle Women's Health in Boulder, CO, contends that most women have no role models for adapting to perimenopause, the time leading up to menopause. Here, she attempts to fill in the information gap. Using case histories of her patients to illustrate common perimenopausal complaints such as hot flashes, mood swings, and decreased libido, she describes various treatment alternatives. In its discussion of hormone replacement therapy (HRT), complementary therapy, osteoporosis, breast cancer and heart disease, and general self-care, her book recalls such recent works as Marcus Laux's Natural Woman, Natural Menopause (LJ 5/1/97) and Dr. Susan Love's Hormone Book (LJ 3/1/97). While it is informative and easy to read, it is not that different from the others. An index, complete references, and a more substantial resources section would have been helpful as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perimenopause from A to Z!, November 21, 1999
By "superevie" (Matthews, North Carolina USA) - See all my reviews
Stephanie Bender's best selling book The Power of Perimenopause is a concise, extensive and very reader friendly guide to perimenopause. As the editor and creator of HotFlash! the perimenopause/menopause web site and online support group, I have interviewed Ms. Bender. Her enthusiasm and knowledge about women and perimenopause is amazing. Ms. Bender combines both common sense and the best of science to present us with a wonderful guide book to navigate the often turbulent times of perimenopause. I highly recommend her book in my online support group and for any woman going through or preparing for perimenopause. It's a great idea to have the man in your life read the book with you too : ).

5.0 out of 5 stars A Clear and Balanced View, April 16, 2000
By Kurzy Surfer (Michigan) - See all my reviews
I have done a great deal of research into perimenopause and this book is the most clearly written and informative book I have found. It nicely balances the most up-to-date traditional medical ideas with a realistic view of nutritional, natural and alternative possiblities. I learned more about hormone cycles, perimenopause symptoms, recommended tests and treatment alternatives from this book than any other source. If you even think that you may be going through the preliminary stages of menopause and want to understand what is happening to your body, buy this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Power of perimenopause, February 10, 2000
By kevin mcIntyre (PARIS, ONTARIO, CANADA) - See all my reviews
Benders' book was a God Send. When my wife was first going through her hormonal turmoil I sought out and e-mailed Ms. Bender. Her kind words and insight prompted me to purchase a copy of her book. It was filled with tremendous insight and helped me not only to be a better husband but more supportive of the transition my wife was and continues to go through. This book should be considered the "Bible" for all supportive husbands and manditory reading for all couples who go through a Pre-marital course prior to getting marriage. Her insight and direction is in plain and understandable words and highlights the varied journey a woman will go through prior to her menopausal transition. Thank you Stephanie from my family.
