The Only Menopause Guide You'll Need by D. Moore:

Its a good thing this book wasn't too long, because it explained alot about the effects of supplements for hormonal imbalance but did not get into the psychological side of menopause. It didn't provide me with what I was looking for in a resource but I may get more out of it as I pass through this phase of my life.

A must read for all women:

Very informative book, covering all aspects of menopause and providing excellent advice for self-management or seeking professional advice. Thank you Michele!

Very comprehensive, easy to read:

I first checked out this book from the library, along with other books on menopause, and was immediately captivated by it. There were so many things I wanted to highlight, that I decided I had to have a copy of the book for myself.
