Customer Reviews

Excellent for women with PCOS

Having PCOS I found that this book was excellent. The information was very well researched and had countless helpful tips on how to deal with PCOS starting with nutrition and working out and it even dealt with fertility and menopause issues. It is a must for women with PCOS. My father is a doctor who deals with PCOS patients and after I recommended this book to him he read it and now refers it to all his patients with PCOS!

Very Comprehensive

I recently read "The Ultimate PCOS Handbook" and was very pleased with how comprehensive this book is. It covers the basics and discusses medical treatments available, but also gives great information on more holistic treatment options. This book made me realize I have more options than my doctors had been giving me (birth control pill when avoiding pregnancy and clomid when trying to conceive). I highly recommend this book if you have have been diagnosed with PCOS and are looking for ways to take control of your condition as naturally as possible.

I Love this book!

I would highly recommend this book for anyone who is dealing with PCOS and is interested in learning more. The thing I liked most about this book is the fact that it doesn't just focus on taking the pill, it covers a plethora of different ways to manage symptoms of PCOS. Some examples include eating right, exercising, herbal remedies, aromatherapy, and acupuncture. Personally, I do not like the idea of functioning from a synthetic pill. I am more interested in healing naturally. This book is a superb resource. It can be read straight through, or it can be used as a reference when you just want to look something up. I have used it for both. I recommend this book and know that I will keep it in my collection for years to come.

Fantatic read for those suffering with PCOS

I was diagnosed with PCOS in 1999, before any valuable information about the condition was available. Thanks to The Ultimate PCOS Handbook, I was able to learn about PCOS and its symptoms and discovered many ways to manage the condition and reduce the symptoms or rid my body of them entirely. It's hard to hear that weight loss is often the best solution to the problem, but now that I realize how important it is, I'm willing to focus on that goal and make the changes necessary. I've often felt alone when dealing with PCOS, but this book helped me to realize thousands of other women have experienced and continue to deal with condition as well.

great book

This book presents information on PCOS in a very simple manner. Though the authors present some medication and birth control that is UK specific, some of the information is great.
