Explaining why women between the ages of 35 and 50 often experience significant changes in mood, weight, sex drive, and general well-being due to hormonal imbalances, this guide shows women how to regain control of their hormones—and their lives—and feel good again through natural means. Women who have had long-standing physical and emotional complaints written off by doctors as normal or genetic are provided with step-by-step solutions to such hormone-related problems as weight gain, fibroids, sex-drive doldrums, adult acne, depression, anxiety, irritability, chronic fatigue, and facial hair. Perimenopausal women will be able to regain control of their health by putting together a game plan for renewal—including hormone balancing and weight management plans that will help them feel better—with dramatic, life-changing results.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

For the millions of women who experience a variety of unpleasant and stressful symptoms related to perimenopause, this book offers a straightforward discussion, explaining which medical tests and treatments, including alternative therapy, women should consider. Jackson, who owns a medical practice dedicated to hormonal health in Oregon, finds that women either have no symptoms, mild symptoms that become more pronounced right before menopause, or significant symptoms that require treatment in order to continue their daily routines. She explains the relationship among estrogen, progesterone and testosterone, and their impact on depression, sex drive, weight and headaches. And she presents her information clearly, explaining bodily functions in a way that lay readers can understand. Jackson is quick to suggest alternatives to medication such as stress reduction exercises, change in diet and exercise, although she also discusses the variety of estrogen and other hormonal treatments available. Appendices listing recommended reading for specific problems, products, vitamin and herbal supplement resources and hormone-testing labs, in addition to a glossary, add further value to this instructive book.

My book was in better condition than I expected. I was very satisfied with the delivery and the package.

I love, love, love this book. Although it was written by a doctor, the style of writing was easy to follow and understand by any lay person. I am a 44 year old woman who has been experiencing difficulties with my body every since I turned 40. I thought, "well it's down hill from now." However, I didn't believe it was necessary to live like I was dying. I visited one doctor to the next seeking help. Each doctor told me the same thing. "your facing premenopause and that's just the way it is." After searching on the internet and finding this book, I have finally found something that makes since. I followed the advice given and thanks be to God, I am feeling much better and young again. I feel like I am living instead of dying a slow death to old age.

Thank you Dr. Nisha Jackson for taking the time to write this book. I am buying more copies and giving them as gifts to other women. It is a God send! :)

While I'm not a big advocate of hormone therapy, Nisha Jackson has a very intrigueing view on this type of therapy and why it would benefit women going through Perimenopause. She gives concise reasons on why our bodies react the way they do during this time in our lives. The book was very interesting and eye-opening. Alot of what she says makes sense. She also gives you tools needed to get through this time.

This book was great! It was an easy read! Nisha Jackson provides readers with a great overview of symptoms and options as well. I just recently experienced a doctor(s) who has dismissed my symptoms. Its very frustrating. I'm not sure why doctors don't bring themselves up-to-date with the various tests and treatments. So now I'm on the hunt for a doctor who recognizes perimenopause as an actual imbalance that requires testing and treatment. Until that point, I have started with a progesterone cream which has immediately started to relieve some of my symptoms. Nisha Jackson is very well educated in this field and I highly recommend this book.

This book helped make me feel like I was in control of my syptoms. I've been to doctors who just wanted to put me on anti-depressants. But this book helped me sort out my syptoms and decide on natural remedies to control things like night sweats and mood swings. I am 50, and there may come a day when I do have to resort to prescription medications, but for now I can manage it on my own.

I really liked this book because it made me realize that a lot of women experience different hormonal imbalances. I no longer felt like a freak. Knowing others were going through the same things I was made me feel so much better. The author offers suggestions. I am very glad I purchased this book.

Very informative and helpful! I am much better prepared to discuss this with my doctor and contribute to my own medical care decisions. Based on Dr. Jackson's thoughtful, knowledgeable, and logical suggestions, I'm trying to find a doctor like her -- one who's willing to run a few tests and discuss natural remedies BEFORE writing a "one size fits all" prescription.

After looking for a long time, with little luck, into woman's hormone issues a friend recommended this book. It is exactly what I was looking for. It should be required reading for all doctors. I am very grateful to the writer because she provides hope along with valuable information regarding hormones followed up with practical answers/solutions. Worth the time and the money.

Although this is an America book it has given me lots of helpful advise and information, The tests can be run in the UK too for hormone levels. The author does her best to inject some humour into what is really a very dry subject (no pun intended!). I would recommend this book for any woman who wants to understand what is going on in her body around the time of the menopause.
