In Natural Hormone Balance for Women, Beverly Hills obstetrician-gynecologist Uzzi Reiss makes it clear that he believes in hormone replacement therapy for women, but not the "chemicalized hormonal substitutes" usually prescribed. "I emphasize natural hormones that are precise replicas of your own hormones," he writes, which can increase energy and memory, decrease symptoms of menopause and PMS, improve skin and mood, and enhance sleep, sexuality, and well-being. But neither the widely used hormonal medications, such as estrogens derived from horse urine, nor the "natural" hormonal products derived from soy or yams replicate the hormones produced by a woman's body. Rather, he recommends a natural estrogen formula balanced with natural progesterone, both available through compounding pharmacies (with a doctor's prescription). Dr. Reiss and talented cowriter Martin Zucker explain why, how, and when to use natural hormones. This is not a snappy, one-size-fits-all program--rather, you, with the involvement of your physician, learn how to analyze your needs and individualize your treatment for your own optimal hormonal balance. Reiss describes the benefits and uses of natural estrogen and progesterone, then discusses other natural hormones that might be helpful: testosterone, human growth hormone, DHEA, melatonin, and pregnenolone. This is a provocative book that's worth sharing with your doctor. --Joan Price

Best book ever written on natural hormones June 24, 2010
S. Shelton (GA)
This is the most informative book ever written on natural hormones and how to use them. I highly recommend this book to anyone considering ot currently taking natural hormones. You will never regret purchasing this book and you'll wonder how you previously lived without it. Every women from peri-menopause to post menopause needs to read this book.
 Not lots of info. June 16, 2010

Each book claims that hormones vary monthly during perimenopause but each book recommends getting hormones tested. It's confusing....if hormones vary so dramatically month to month what can the test tell you? I thought to compensate this author would have symptoms that you could check off to see monthly how one's hormones (testosterone, estrogen, progesterone) varied. But the author does not provide enough info. for this.
I would give this book TEN STARS if I could!!!!! April 7, 2010

I've learned more from this book than almost all my research on the subject over the past year combined. Dr. Reiss obviously writes from a perspective of great knowledge, passion, and respect for women and their bodies. I now understand so much more about how my early physical development and life choices affected me up to this point, and more fully appreciate the choices I have from here on out.
My only regrets are:
1) that I don't live close enough to see Dr. Reiss as a patient
2) that I didn't read this book three months earlier, before starting hormone replacement with my current doctor, so that together we could have used the guidelines outlined in this book
This book should be in every woman's personal library--and would make an excellent gift for a friend or relative facing health issues that can be helped by using bioidentical hormone replacement therapy.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU Dr. Reiss (& Martin Zucker) for writing this extraordinary book!
This book will open your eyes December 18, 2009

Only after realizing that menopause was a horrib experience for some of us did I begin to read up on the subject. This book opened my eyes to a new wealth of understanding and wisdom that I did not know existed. After finding a Physician as close to my home as possible did I begin to question my own OBGYN. After two questions, he told me "You Read To Much". He was naive to any of the information about natural hormone replacement. I told him that I intended to go to one of the physicians mentioned in the book and he told me to not waste my time and money on such "quackery". I went anyway and now I am becoming more like my old self again. When you SEE the results, you will understand "Why You Read To Much". You will see yourself on every page of this book. Dr. Reiss cares for our well-being and offers his all to us so that we can take control of our health and destiny. I will be forever grateful that this book was written. Thank You Dr. Reiss
This book really should be rated 100 STARS July 22, 2009

I've read 13 other books on Menopause, and this is really the only one I needed to read. After searching and reading for 6 months I finally found a doctor (in my area) who knows what he is doing. Know what he said? HE SAID TO BUY THIS BOOK and read it `cover to cover' and keep it on hand as a reference. This book IS THE BIBLE ON MENOPAUSE with full instructions on how to learn to read your body.
I love the review that mentioned that you didn't need to take hormones, but that all you needed to do was 'fix the cause', well, the cause is AGING and if she has learned how to not age then that's great for her. As for me, when I started replacing the hormones that my body stopped making because of my age, I felt 20 years younger. I plan to replace my hormones for the rest of my life! And while I will still age (as we all will), I won't age so rapidly and hopefully I'll avoid a host of diseases of aging.
