4.0 out of 5 stars it is confusing
Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2021

So I know to take magnesium and taurine, do these completely eliminate symptoms? No, of course not, but then does anyone really expect some vitamins to completely eliminate their symptoms, the hot flashes, the night sweats etc.? Do they help, who knows, can't hurt, I have tried it, and find it hard to say whether it helps or not, maybe sleep is somewhat better.

I have no idea how to take progesterone from this book, as it only seems to talk about women with regular periods or in menopause (12 months without a period I assume). Yea there are somewhat under 2 years of my life this book would have been helpful maybe, before that I had no symptoms at all worth noticing, but now, at 45, periods are too irregular and infrequent. And I think I hate natural progesterone from how it seems to act in my body, wow i might hate that hormone, but maybe that's just me. And I have little idea when estrogen would be appropriate, only in the first year without a period? How on earth would one know? And there are weird parts that talk about how you are still cycling your first year without a period. Excluding hysterectomy which wasn't what was being talked about, what does that even mean? Cycling without a period?

It's hard to tell who this book is really for. A great deal of it seems meant for much younger women who ovulate, which isn't going to help many women symptomatic enough to be reading books like this. Well at least the parts of the book, which isn't talking about if 50 is old. I will have been suffering hot flashes since age 44 by that point, that number is the least of my concerns.

It has some tips that might be helpful about iodine and breast pain and high estrogen. It encourages a healthy lifestyle and avoiding insulin resistance (more tests to try to get your doctor to order) and gentle intermittent fasting for health. It has some other healthy lifestyle tips that aren't all things you already know. So it's really a good book for health, but for treating perimenopause symptoms I don't know about that. Part of the problem is that doctors seem to know nothing about menopause even if they are women gynecologists old enough for there to be no question if they have gone through menopause themselves. And so we are all out here DESPERATELY trying to treat ourselves via books.

LOL at people reviewing the book who aren't even going through this yet. That is their right, but how would they even know how to evaluate this book, whether the recommendations work, or even if it accurately describes what they are going through?

ETA: if you take hormones whether estrogen + progesterone or just progesterone it has a good chance of suppressing periods after awhile. Which you might find a happy trade off for symptom relief. But it will make a central theme of the book, distinguishing between perimenopause and menopause pretty much impossible. No way to know if you have reached menopause or if periods are just suppressed due to progesterone. So one is chasing daily symptoms which come and go in days, bad hot flashes, then breast pain etc.. It's too hard to know where one is by that. But even without taking hormones at all, if you having very infrequent periods but not fully menopausal (say a period every 5 months), I have to wonder how much estrogen you could possibly be making.
