Must read for menopausal women
A lot of information, every woman should read it at some point before perimenopause.
Difficult to enjoy
I found this book difficult to enjoy. The language used was overly technical and full of medical jargon, which made it hard to follow and fully understand. It lacked clear explanations for why certain things happened, leaving many questions unanswered. Overall, I felt the book could have been more accessible and informative for readers without a medical background.
Very disappointing
Very disappointed by this book. I learned nothing new from the her previous book. It was filled with stories from other readers and their missed diagnoses from their drs. Lots of repeat stories of her med school experiences and the lack of time spent in school on this season of life. I wanted to gain new direction for post menopause and the things I need to focus on from here on. The audio was very monotone. All in all, I would not recommend this book to anyone.
