The Sexy Years: Discover the Hormone Connection--The Secret to Fabulous Sex, Great Health, and Vitality, for Women and Men
Suzanne Somers
Rating: 4.0/5 Stars
Rank: 1463
Menopause is a complicated business. Medical issues vary widely and
treatment options seem endless--especially in the wake of bad news about
hormone replacement.
While The Sexy Years isn't meant to supply you
with a specific program of daily supplements, Suzanne Somers does offer an
excellent inspiration to march forth and take control of this stage of
health.
Much of the book covers her own experience of menopause, including
some detail on her breast cancer ordeal.
She advocates the use of natural,
bioidentical hormonal replacement, available through a variety of creams
and supplements--it's a rare page that doesn't gush about the power of
these substances or raise negative issues about the use of synthetic
hormones.
Introductory medical information is included on how estrogen,
progesterone, and testosterone work together to keep people healthy and
active; the vocabulary is understandable and generally entertaining rather
than overwhelming.
She provides interviews with a variety of doctors and
women in various stages of menopause. These will give women a good place
to start with topics to address with their own medical providers.
While a
short index of doctors and compounding pharmacies is provided, most women
will have to do their own research to find local natural hormone
specialists.
But if you're looking for a boost of courage to bring up
these treatments with your doctor--or simply want to investigate more
natural alternatives to the standard synthetics--this is a fine place to
get started.
--Jill Lightner
