Perimenopause: The Savvy Sister's Guide to Hormone Harmony Paperback – April 7, 2019

If you are experiencing issues that you suspect are hormonally related, this is the place to start building your foundation of knowledge about perimenopause and menopause. This book will give you validation for your concern if it is legit and help you on your road to finding solutions. In this field of hormonal balance, you need to be your own advocate. I started the hormonal self help journey years ago only to find my doctors were surprisingly not very knowledgeable and really don't have the time needed for individual care. Facebook groups and google searches yielded an overwhelming amount of information which was often conflicting. What helps one person often hurts another. When it comes to my health, I like to take the most natural path possible and that is Anna Garrett's approach. I appreciate that she has done the research and validates her claims with valid sources. I am wary of "experts" selling products or with extreme approaches. Anna offers her consulting service in the book, but she does not push personal products or services. I'm so thankful for this easy-to-understand, foundational, whole-body-approach, balanced book and I'm much more confident moving forward. Anna gives you hope in facing the change in life and how to make it a good change. Must read.

Wow! What a great resource to add my journey to a happy, healthier me collection ! I'm armed with the right information and ready for my many doctors appointments that I have scheduled for the next few weeks! I have been read this book and I took notes. The information in this book has not only helped my anxieties concerning the changes in my body, but it also helped me to formulate more detailed questions for my appointments. I really liked reading( chapter 9) about the suppliments that may help me and how I can safely use them. I didn't have much thought about magnesium, but I after reading this book, I incorporate it into my suppliments, and I am already noticing some positive changes. Dr. Anna Garrett's book has been a great help during this time in my life and I am recommending it and her facebook group "Hormone Harmony Club" to as many women as I can! Get this book asap!Mohogany,Al.

Dr. Anna is a true expert in her field! I can't tell you how many of my friends around the 35-year-old range are starting to experience new symptoms and just feeling like things are "off" but not really sure what "it is". The "it" is perimenopause and Dr. Anna's book is an amazing resource that breaks down in simple terms what perimenopause is in a language that is understandable without being overly scientific. She guides you with humor, thoughtful suggestions, and helpful tips through the perimenopause journey all the while reminding you that you're not too young and most importantly, you are not alone!

This author speaks to you directly and from personal experience. The tone is more friendly like speaking to your girlfriend rather than the more medical tone from male doctors/authors.Very informational in a more bite size approach. Good starting point for someone just starting their perimenopause journey.

I actually found my own symptoms in this book that I had no idea were possibly related to peri-menopause. She's got a lot of info in this book. I'm not a book reader, but this at least had my attention for a bit. The symptoms list is worth it and I think you're getting more here than on typical "menopause symptoms" websites. Unfortunately, I can't afford to pay her high price for "personal guidance" and doctors are useless; even gynecologists who are supposed to know this stuff. Alas, we have to turn to a book and still don't have a "cure."Once I take the time to finish the book, I'll make it a point to come back and refine the review, but until then, I'm happy to know that I had a lot of questions answered by this book and a big thank you to the author. Buy it. You will get more out of it than Dr. Google.

Dr. Anna is a caring practitioner helping women thrive during peri-menopause and menopause. Her pharma background combined with coaching skills and her passion for natural solutions that work make her a great resource for women wanting to own their health and reclaim their mojo. Her new book, Perimenopause - The Savvy Sister's Guide to Hormone Harmony, is full of practical information that every woman needs to know! I consider it a complete roadmap through menopause. Full of empathy, encouragement and empowerment, it gives every woman the tools they need to actively participate in managing their healthcare team.

It doesn't contain that much new information. It mostly seems a hook to sell you very expensive (peri)menopause hormone testing and other services from the author. The medical system doesn't give women the attention they need during this difficult and symptomatic time of life, so in walk many people charging exorbitant prices. Maybe some of the supplement information in the book will work for you though. I don't know, I'm not sold on supplements making any difference. But for some people they might.

This book is full of information and answers to your questions regarding perimenopause. Dr. Anna Garrett delivered an informative, easy to understand guide that includes relatable stories from her clients, as well as solutions. If you are suffering (or think you are) from any symptoms of perimenopause, you need to read this book! The general medical community does not recognize the suffering that women are going through, which leads us to search for answers and think that we are going crazy! This book will answer those questions and help you realize that you are not alone!

One of the better books I've read, and a great starter base to go from on this subject. Also explained, and easy to understand medical jargon! Finally!!Would definitely recommend.

Finally! Clear information delivered with objectivity and care. Dr. Anna delivers information and choices and encourages us to listen to and advocate for our own bodies. This really is the conversation every woman should be having with her daughters, sisters, friends - but we know we never do. So go ahead Sister - go hide under a blanket in your favorite chair and read this book! You'll be glad you did. Thank you Dr. Anna Garrett!

I knew that something was amiss in my body but couldn’t find answers to the thousands of questions running through my head. This in turn caused me a lot of stress and anxiety.I cannot recommend this book enough as it has helped put my mind at ease and answered questions that were so far unanswered!It is a great read for anyone going through peri menopause or for anyone who wishes to be well educated on the subject in advance. Very well written and has sone amazing insights on how to tackle the issues related to peri menopause. Thank you Dr. Anna Garrett for the profound work you are doing!

A very useful and informative book by Dr. Anna Garrett about the journey through perimenopause. I will be recommending it to younger friends and family so they are prepared for the possible problems associated with hormonal imbalance during these transitional years, long before they get there themselves. There is so much conflicting information on the internet, so it’s good to read a book that is written by someone who actually understands hormone imbalances and can explain them well without blinding you with science. We as women only hear a possible 10% of menopause symptoms, like the hot flashes and night sweats, no-one tells you about all the other vast array of symptoms that can happen in the years before this. It’s down to my generation to talk freely about perimenopause and menopause so that our nieces, friends and daughters have a wide range of information to hand beforehand. Well written Dr. Anna Garrett, thank you.

I thought I was knowledgeable on this topic! But Dr. Anna Garrett filled in the missing pieces. This informative and easy to read book is like sitting down with a good friend! I highly recommend it to all my friends of certain age. We all need a girl friend like Dr Anna on our side.
