review 1: This book was named one of the best books of 2014 and I can see why after reading it. I happened upon it in the book store one day and after reading the back I though I could use this book. Now I am not normally one to read medical books as they are not up my alley but there was something about this book that had me very intrigued. There are some tests in the front of the book that you take and then Sara will tell you which chapters are beneficial for you to read. I finished the questionnaires and found out which chapters I should read, but this book was so interesting to me that I read the entire book. In my opinion Sara did such a good job at writing this book that I almost felt as if I was reading one of my novels that I enjoy. One thing that I liked was how the author ... moreincluded some of her case files from her patients which to me were interesting. I have approached my doctor about this book and asked him to do the blood work that Sara suggested. His response was that those types of tests are some times hard to read so he is referring me to an OB-GYN and if that does not work I am going to talk to an endocrinologist. I think I do have some hormone issues and I do not want to take the medicines that doctors want to prescribe as the one I did try did not suite me - I want to try the natural way. I strongly recommend this book to women as it is very informative and useful.
review 2: This will probably get 5 stars from me, but I'll wait until I see how her protocol works for certain. Dr. Gottfried does an excellent job breaking down the function of each hormone in lots of detail that is easy to read and understand without a medical background. She also gives LOTS of practical tips for balancing each hormone. She has a section of lifestyle changes, supplements, and pharmaceuticals for each hormone problem.I am young (30) but my hormones have been crazy since the birth of my third child and I've recently hit a really rough patch with insomnia and soreness and fatigue for no apparent reason. After reading her book I think I have high cortisol and I am somewhat begrudgingly giving up my one cup of coffee a day, taking just one new supplement, and incorporating a few more of the lifestyle changes she suggests. I feel like things are moving in the right direction now. less
