Excellent book and easy to digest

I've tried to wade through several books on the hormone/menopause connection -- but this book is by far the easiest to read (thank you for the larger type!) and comprehend. Hormone therapy of any kind is a very complex topic, so I truly appreciate this doctor's careful yet conversational approach to the text. I found it helpful, comforting, uplifting, and easy to use. I am much less leery and frightened of menopause after this informative read.

There is hope and help for menopause

I read this book cover to cover, then bought a copy for my OB/GYN. I took the saliva test, my doctor ordered my natural hormone replacement therapy from a compound pharmacist and I'm on my way to a healthier life. This book is for every woman who suffers from any kind of horomonal imbalance at any age in her life. The book will tell you exactly where to go for help, how to get your tests done and give you all the resources you need. The best money I ever spent. I can't recommend it highly enough.

Thank God for Dr. Randolph and his book!!!!!

For the past 6 years, I have been suffering from virtually all of the systems Dr. Randolph describes in his book. As a former Ballet dancer, choreographer and dance school owner, I have gained over 75 lbs and now know why. I have painful and achy joints; lots of stress, virtually no sex drive, some hair loss, memory problems after having virtually a photographic memory for most of my life. I am moody and irritable at times and find myself feeling like I want to give up. I have met with doctor after doctor in my local area. Each would have a different theory about what was wrong. Some told me nothing was wrong while others treated me with the "One size fits all" philosophy Dr. Randolph describes in his book. Believe me, I am an informed and educated patient who truly enjoyed this easy read. He explains everything simply, yet not patronizing. I love this book so much and I am feeling so hopeful that I will finally start feeling better that I made an appointment with Dr. Randolph, himself and will travel to see him in Jacksonville, FL to start my treatment plan. I love the idea of saliva tests not blood tests to determine my custom treatment plan! Hooray!

This Book will change your life!!

I was at a loss, what was going on with my body! I kept reading and hearing all the reports of how bad HRTs were for me. I was starting to show signs of perimenopause and I needed help. Dr. Randolph's book explained why I was feeling so weepy, why I was gaining weight and how to get these symptoms under control. This book has made all the difference in how I feel. I understand now that I was not going crazy, but just needed some help. It also cleared up what Human-Identical hormones really are. I would recommend this to any woman who is making decisions on her peri-menopause or menopause health care! Way to go , Dr. Randolph! Sara
