My mom approves of this book July 22, 2010
Jenny J.J.I. (That Lives in Carolinas)
I gave this book to my mother and she loves it. She stated that the book is an extremely well-researched and comprehensive resource on all things menopause! The author has REALLY done her homework. She includes information on pretty much every menopause symptom imaginable, then details all the available options to help women deal with each symptom. She never preaches, judges, or pretends to be an expert, just presents the information so that you can approach your doctor with all the appropriate questions and truly participate in your own menopause journey. Everything is presented concisely and thoroughly, in fact I was completely amazed at how much valuable information is contained in such a small space!
Her weight loss advice and tools are excellent no matter what your body type or how much weight you want to lose. She explains very clearly the formulas to determine your own metabolic rate, and how to decide the best calorie and activity level based on how fast or how much weight you'd like to lose. This info is actually even more useful than what I've seen in most weight-loss books because of the helpful tone and no-nonsense presentation. I didn't find the recipes especially useful, but they might sound good to other readers.
Though my mom reads this book during her commute to work she deduct a star base on the format. There are a ton of forms for you to use to set goals, track progress, checklists to take to your doctor, journal pages, etc etc. We both agree that we really like to see this set up as a manual detailing the program, the research, and all the other helpful information, and a companion spiral-bound workbook for the checklists and forms. Besides that, I would recommend this book.
Sage advice July 22, 2010
Stephanie (NYC)
This book is like a wise older sister. It tackles the symptoms and side effects of aging one by one - weight gain, skin care, hormone therapy and um, er, oh yes that's it, memory loss. The Menopause Makeoever is an action plan, and you need to commit to see results.
Nothing New but is a well organized reference of current convention wisdom. July 15, 2010
LS (SF Bay Area)
There is tons of information in many forms available surviving and thriving menopause (or mental pause). This book does a fairly good job of organizing the conventional main stream wisdom into a good and easy to read reference. For those that are fairly knowledgeable this might just all be redundant but to those fairy new this would be a good place to start.
Menopause only book you will need July 15, 2010
Terry South (Maryville, TN USA)
The Menopause Makeover was undeniably a great easy to read book packed full of information for the perimenopausal or menopausal woman. Being a nurse I am able to understand the more medically referenced books available while this book is great for those who have no medical background. The chapters flow and are well organized, the information offers traditional and non-traditional methods. I would highly recommend this for anyone who is experiencing the up and downs (signs and symptoms) of menopause from weight gain, to those terrible "hot flashes". The author has some great tips throughout the book which are easy to follow, you can't go wrong with this one ladies.
Bought the hard copy..not for Kindle July 12, 2010
Renee Chiarello (Jacksonville Beach, Florida United States)
I sampled this book on Kindle and am glad I did not purchase it for my Kindle. It has diagrams and spaces to make notes that you do not get with the Kindle. If you are interested in this book, buy the hard copy. Definitly not appropriate for Kindle.
