Synopsis Once upon a time, herbal remedies for feminine health issues were passed down through generations of women, but such things are now largely discredited by a medical community that prefers to prescribe everything from anti-depressants to estrogen for ailments that might be cured by improved diet and exercise. Such is the case with premenopause, a condition that can affect women as early as their thirties and includes symptoms like irritability, dry skin, tender breasts, uterine fibroids, and infertility. The authors discuss estrogen (thumbs down), progesterone (a big thumbs up), progestines, the dangers of xenohormones (like in meat and pesticides), and birth control pills. Unlike perimenopause, which heralds the arrival of "real" menopause, premenopause is a reversible condition stemming from estrogen imbalances. In this concisely written book, Dr. John R. Lee and Dr. Jesse Hanley, authors of WHAT YOUR DOCTOR MAY NOT TELL YOU ABOUT MENOPAUSE, show potential and current sufferers the way to confront premenopause head on.
