Customer Reviews

A great follow up to Before the Change

I have become a real fan of Ann Louise Gittleman's work. I first learned of her through her book Before the Change and picked this one up shortly thereafter. A great follow up because Super Nutrition for Menopause deals with concerns of the older woman like diabetes and osteoporosis. I think this book would make a good Mother's Day or Birthday Gift because it is a gift of health.

Offers a safer, more natural approach to managing menopause

This easy to read and user friendly book is a wealth of helpful information especially for those of us making this next transition in life. The book explains in understandable terms what menopause is, what its most common symptoms are, and the different ways it may be experienced. Especially helpful was the recommended Vitamin E dosage and the natural progesterone cream which greatly helps hot flashes. Thank you Ann Louise Gittleman for another outstanding and timely book!
