5.0 out of 5 stars A must read for all women, May 24, 2000

By	DONNA (Austin, Texas) - See all my reviews

This book helped me tremendously, especially the section regarding the thyroid link. For such a small gland, the thyroid affects so much and frequently gets overlooked by the medical profession. The author lists symptoms of thyroid disorder and even refers to the Dr's conflicting opinions on treatment for the disease. Women know how much hormones affect their body and this book covers it all. Every woman I know should have a copy because of all the hormonal changes that take place in a woman's lifetime.

5.0 out of 5 stars The perfect tool for women to reach balanced health, January 13, 1999

By	[e-mail] (Davis, CA) - See all my reviews

Do you go to your Doctor's office, attempting to convey your very uncomfortable symptoms of PMS, Postpartum Depression,or Menopause, only to get a routine answer of either; a.) It's all in your head, you should see a mental health provider, or b.)Go on the birth control pill, or c.)It's something all women go through, go home and deal with it! These are all responses I have gotten in the past. I would highly recommend to any woman of any age to purchase a copy of "Listening to Your Hormones". This book is filled with answers. It addresses every hormonal issue a woman faces throughout her life. With book in hand there is no problem that can't be dealt with, with your Physicians assistance.

Arm yourselves ladies! This is a must for everyone, spouses included!

5.0 out of 5 stars It assured me that I wasn't crazy!!!, May 26, 1998

By A Customer

After I read the introduction, I realized that I wasn't crazy! I'm not the only one in the world that has seen multiple doctors about my PMS and have received less than caring responses to this monthly problem. It assured me that lots of women experience hormonal imbalances and that there are solutions.

The references in the back of the book have been invaluable. I am currently in the process of contacting various sources. I know that there are doctors out there that care and I am certain that I will eventually find one that will listen.

If you experience PMS, or other hormonal imbalances, and if your quality of life is good for about 1/2 the month and unbearable for the other half, read this!

I like that the book is easy to read and that it is written by someone who has experienced this herself. I found myself reading the book whenever I had free time - it was hard to put down!

Great job, very informative!
