5.0 out of 5 stars A natural survival guide for perimenopause and menopause., February 20, 1999

By	"superevie" (Matthews, North Carolina USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Menopause Without Medicine: Feel Healthy, Look Younger, Live Longer (Paperback)

As the founder and host of HotFlash! the perimenopause and menopause web site and online support group, I have read literally dozens of books about perimenopause and menopause. Linda Ojeda's book Menopause Without Medicine stands out for its natural holistic approach to both perimenopause and menopause. This book empowers women to take care of their health. I often recommend this wonderful book to my support group memebers. Ms. Ojeda has done an extensive job in outlining effective and healthy strategies to combat the potentially life altering effects of perimenopause/menopause. Her book is easy to read and understand and comes complete with excellent resources. She covers everything from sleep troubles to how to get control PMS. This book is a tremendous resource for any woman who wants to feel and look better.
