There are other menopause authorities but they have mostly sold out.Dr. Barbie is a truth teller and anything you need to know about menopause plus a lot of information you did not know you needed is in the book.In addition she has a free youtube series called Menopause Barbie.It is so good my hubby watches with me as well as his brother and a few other men for the nutrition advice.If you are menopausal, you desperately this book! If you are peri-menopausal you need this book to prepare you for what is coming. In fact all women need to read this as well as all GYN's.There is a conspiracy of silence surrounding menopause. All people talk about are hot flashes.I have been in menopause for 4 years and never even had one hot flash!HOT FLASHES are over rated. You can die of a heart attack or Alzheimers or have a fracture just like I did just from being in menopause. Hip fractures can lead to death. It is al brought on by menopause.You need to arm yourself with this education so you will be prepared and not fall victim to the diseases of menopause.This book is so good I bought it for my doctor!

I am reviewing the second edition (2019) of the book. I found it easy to read and understand.As women live longer, menopause is a permanent state of the body until death. It is an estrogen deficiency state that predisposes women to chronic diseases such as heart disease, osteoporosis, and Alzheimer’s disease.This book is a comprehensive source of information on estrogen replacement, non-hormonal options, and promoting and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.One specific piece of information in the book I found very informative, is the explanation of the WHI study, as the results of this trial have been reviewed and re-evaluated more recently.Also, it is important to find the right physician to manage your menopause: a menopause practitioner, or one who has an interest in managing menopause.I recommend this book to women and their health care providers because much education is needed in this area. In addition, Dr. Taylor also has a YouTube channel with great videos.

I finally got my book yesterday and read it well past my normal bedtime. I have insomnia but was so excited I could not help it! It was worth it. I almost brought the book into work today but decided I should use a little discipline and save this for home...though I am writing this review at work.I am watching (started over from #1)the tutorials in order and look forward to each and every one. Dr. Barbie advises this process of learning and she is 100% right! Much to my amazement Dr. Barbie wrote me back- on You tube when I commented and thanked her for all she is doing for us ladies. I feel more confident - more informed - educated - and comfortable already. This book and all she has to offer via video and other medium are priceless! I was truly down and out with all these crazy symptoms and now I feel as if I can really manage the rest of my life and my menopause- my way - for me! thank you from the bottom of my heart Dr. Barbie and I hope someday to attend a seminar - it is my dream to meet you and thank you in person.Do yourself a favor and buy this book PRONTO - I am buying one for a dear friend today!P.S. I also read the "Honey I'm Home" book about Barbie and George's love affair and marriage - a gem! Loved it!

Menopause is a very real issue for women and not just physically. The emotional toll is high as well! It is a physical and emotional process we all go through and about which very little is shared or taught. Society shrugs it off as part of aging and we have little control. But that is not true. Dr. Taylor M.D (Retired Obstetrician/Gynecologist) has written the most wonderful menopause management manual! It allows me to understand what is happening and the many ways I can manage menopause on MY Terms. And believe me, I AM. Please, do yourself a favor, buy the book. Or, watch her You-Tube videos; search "Menopause Taylor"

Repetitive, a lot of filler. I think there is some good information about your period If you're in puberty.Was written over 10y ago not update on somethingsPros easy read larger print.Would not recomend.

In my opinion, this is the absolute best, most informative book on menopause available today! There is nothing Dr Taylor leaves out or does not touch on. The real strength of this book lies in her ability to make very complex information extremely easy to understand. When you have completed reading this book, you will have ALL of the information necessary to make a wise and educated decision for yourself on how you would like to proceed through your menopause. She tackles the myths and misinformation surrounding menopause, and provides you with facts backed by science. Thank you Dr Taylor! Knowledge is power ... and I truly feel empowered now to own my own health and path through this next phase of life! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I wish I’d read this a long time ago. Menopause was all hit or miss with me all so unnecessary. This is required reading. Whatever you think you know, read this book and find out what you don’t know. In fact what you have a lot to learn.. enlightening is putting it mildly. I actually really good reading this book. The book is full of unbiased facts so you can make up your own mind of how you want to do it. Personally I don’t think I want to tackle it head on I want to be informed and manage it might way. E

This book tells you everything you need to know but doesn't guide you in any particular direction. Her videos are very helpful but can be slightly irritating after a while. If you can get past that then you will learn so much. I would recommend this book. She also makes you realise that the menopause isn't something you should hide, all women go into this phase of our life cycle after all, just some suffer more with the initial symptoms. I felt empowered after reading and watching her videos. She puts the "unspoken" out there front and center. Because I have become more open to talking about it, my friends are now asking me about the menopause. I realised that like me, most women hadn't got a clue what is ahead of them.

Excellent so far. 4 stars because I have not completed the book,still working my way through.

Essential reading.

Best guide for the rest of my life!

This is truly the definitive book on menopause and honestly the only book you'll ever have to read about it. It's informative, well-written and includes absolutely everything you will ever need to know about menopause. I brought this book to my ob/gyne appointment today to discuss estrogen levels in my HRT (Dr Barbara cites reasons as to why you need a certain level for protective benefits) and she thought it was a great resource. Thank you Dr Barbara Taylor for taking the time to write such a wonderfully informative book. For those of you who don't have the time or patience to read it, Dr Taylor has a very informative channel on YouTube.
