Book Review: Ageless: The Naked Truth About Bioidentical Hormones
Summary: 4 Stars
I thought the book was a lifesaver! From someone suffering from hot flashes, weight gain, etc... and believing the only answer for me was synthenic hormones; I'm happy to say there is an alternative! The beginning of the book was a little boring, as most self help books are, but once I got into the guts of the books, I couldn't put it down. A true life changing experience! Thank you Suzanne Sommers!Book Review: Ageless: The Naked Truth by Suzanne Somers
Summary: 5 Stars
Suzanne captures the truth about women's health issues and it is amazing what we do not know. She is a great researcher and gets all her facts before writing the book. The book is wonderful and enlighting. I would recommend this book to every women in the age group of 20 years and above. Book Review: Good introduction to bioidenticals
Summary: 4 Stars
I found this book easy to read and a good introduction to bioidentials. Of particular interest to me were appendices with the names and websites of doctors that will treat with bioidenticals, though when I called the five listed in my area, only one was a current enough listing to be useful. For us "baby-boomers" entering menopause, there is a lot to research and think through before we decide on a course of action to help alleviate the stresses caused by this change in our bodies. The idea of using bioidenticals to replace the hormones your body no longer makes is one approach, and is what is discussed and advocated in this book. This book discusses all the "pros" but few of the "cons" to that approach. Another option, dismissed by this book, is the use of herbs and other non-hormonal supplements to support optimum balance of hormones in the system, in essence embracing the change rather than trying to circumvent it. In light of the recent findings on risk to the heart due to hormone supplementation, I'm exploring a non-replacement approach, too, and haven't made up my mind yet on my best course of action.Book Review: Dream the Nearly Impossible Dream
Summary: 2 Stars
When heard on television Ms. Somer's vision and ideas sound very positive and encouraging for fighting the battle for a quality life. The devil is in the details as reading about the whole concept brings sharply into question the medical aspects and the availability of the entire process to the average consumer. My end take was that the medical benefits are secondary to the ability of the average consumer to actualize her program. It seems to be more of a lark for the rich and famous. Book Review: motivational
Summary: 4 Stars
This book reinforces many of those beliefs that we have such as we don't have to feel like an old person and fit the old stereotype of Grandma/pa.
When you read the book you think "YES" this is for me but trying to make it happen without paying significant $ not covered by insur or medicare and traveling distances to metropolitan areas is another matter. Therefore, it would be difficult for the average middle income individual to pursue the goals that are set forth in the book. Still as information becomes more available more opportunities will come to light.
The information is very motivational and makes you want to accomplish what the author has, but the process of trying to do so can be frustrating if not impossible for some. On the other hand one can still do a lot for themselves by exercise, nutrition and learning more about a healthy lifestyle and the book provides lots of information on this subject.
You can't go wrong by reading the book as the more knowledge you have the better your chances of accomplishing your goals.
