3.0 out of 5 stars My view of this book won't be popular, Aug 29 2003

By	A. Cheek "Photo Chick" (Nashville, TN) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was a little disappointed in this book. I saw it on Dr Phil and so many of the symptoms are what I've been suffering with. It was going to be my answer I hoped. The Perizappers are a godsend, and some of the information was very helpful. But so much of the book was a primer on nutrition and supplements (which are important, I understand that). I felt like I bought a nutrition book with a few tips on perimenopause, not the other way around, which is what I hoped I was buying.

The information on perimenopause is wonderful. While the nutritional advice is sound, I didn't want another diet book, and that's what a good half of this book is about. The other 1/2 is split between the wonders of supplementation and perimenopause. I was hoping for more meat and potatoes about menopause and how to control its symptoms with the various options available to us. Instead, I've got a book with a little bit of that, and a whole lot of just-another-diet-book.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE BEST PERIMENOPAUSE BOOK OUT THERE BY FAR, Aug 13 2001

By A Customer

I have been suffering from depression and insomnia - which I thought were part of the normal aging process UNTIL I read Ann Louise's book. After taking more magnesium, Vitamin E, and the progestacream she recommends, I am a new person. I have been able to cut down my medications- with my doctor's blessings, by the way- and am starting to lead a much more normal, sane life. I know now, thank's to BEFORE THE CHANGE, that I am a perimenopausal woman and what I have been experiencing are symptoms of this lifestyle change. I wish there were ten stars.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good Book, But...., Feb 13 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Before The Change (Paperback)

I had to downgrade this book from four to two stars because of the author's frequent promotion of particular brands, such as Uni Key. Perhaps it's a pet peeve, perhaps it's just rampant raging hormones, but I've always been driven nuts by that particular practice. I also found the plugs for her other books a bit tedious.
Having said that, the information contained in this book jives with what I've read in others about perimenopause - all of which I've purchased in the past several days. (I'd highly recommend "The Change Before the Change" by Laura E Corio, MD. It does a much better job of explaining the medical underpinnings of what we're all experiencing.)
I have not yet begun the recommended regimine of supplements; it will be interesting to see if what she and others propose actually work.
