Hysterical Hysterectomy 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

This book was both entertaining and enlightening! I would wholeheartedly recommend it for anyone facing the surgery, or anyone who just wants a good Venus/Mars laugh!

Editorial Review:

It took surgery for former newspaper reporter, Patti Pfeiffer, to turn author. It was during her own recovery from a hysterectomy that she wrote this enlightening and entertaining book detailing her experiences with endometriosis, laser surgery, laparoscopy, vaginal hysterectomy, surgical menopause, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and gynecologists. Through chapters titled "Hystery in the Making" and "The Long Gurney Home", readers gain insight into the emotional, physical and mental aspects of surgery, preoperative to postoperative. But more than surgery, "Bearing the Big H" is about the peaks, perks and pitfalls of womanhood.

Any woman whether healthy or hindered will relate to the satirical stories describing the experiences exclusive to the childbearing gender. If you have personally shared the author's experiences, or know someone who has had, or is about to undergo a hysterectomy, this book is priceless, upbeat, hilarious - and required reading!

Worthless! Doesn't tell you anything you don't already know. If you want the full information and an easy reading book, read " Feeling Fat, Fuzzy and Frazzled" by Dr. Richard Shames, and Karilee Shames.

Every Woman Should Read 5 out of 5 stars.
10 of 11 people found this review helpful.

As a patient of Dr. Leonetti's, I found the book to be a true reflection of her, her beliefs and ideas. This book does not just talk about menopause, it talks about life and how to make the most of yours through good health and good attitudes. It also makes it clear that it is never too late to correct poor choices one has made. A must read for women and men can learn much from it as well.

Editorial Review:

As a registered nurse, Dr Helene Leonetti recalls having to stand and offer her chair to the doctor when he entered the room. Her journey from that day to this has been a long one and not without almost overwhelming trials. During her transition from nurse to physician to holistic and herbal healer, Dr Leonetti was brought to her knees by a life-threatening depression, which occurred synchronistically during menopause. Struggling out of the darkness, Dr Leonetti turned her time of menopause into a hallowed, precious phase of spiritual growth. She now offers others the lighted pathway to their own healing and self-empowerment. Dr Leonetti has a way of loving unconditionally and leading her patients toward practical control of their own body-mind-spirit health. Funny, touching and practical, this book is a must read for women of all ages and for the men and women who love them.

Get the Facts & Feel Better 5 out of 5 stars.
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.

After having read many other books on this subject by so-called experts, and STILL not feeling better, I decided to read this one. This no-nonsense book is easy to read and spells out the truth about hormones and hormone replacement as they relate to women. Additionally, Mr. Mason lays out a healthy plan that any woman can follow. I spent 5 years feeling bad, and after following this author's plan for a few months, I lost weight, gained energy and felt like ME again. Thank you, Roger.

Editorial Review:

This book, by two of the most distinguished figures in fertility and reproduction research, answers all the most common questions about menaupause and andropause, and hormone resupplement therapy (HRT) for menopausal women. It offers explanations of all aspects of this subject, presenting balanced and reliable information about benefits, risks, and prospects for this field. Segal invented Norplant, the first long-term implantable contraceptive, and as the leader of Reproductive Biology at the Population Council, he orchestrated and coordinated the research and trials leading to basically every new contraceptive introduced over a period of about 25 years. Mastroianni did more than anyone else to develop in vitro fertizilation as a viable treatment option, and was for many years the chairman of the largest department of obstetrics and gynecology, and the director of the most successful IVF clinic. This book is unique in including coverage of the climacteric in men.

Author's Comments 5 out of 5 stars.
5 of 5 people found this review helpful.

Though the title is about Menopause and the first chapter does thoroughly discuss menopausal complaints, the risks of hormone replacement therapy and the benefits of walking on various aspects of aging often associated with menopause,the 14 Programs I developed are appropriate for anyone at any age or stage of life, to motivate themselves to walk; whether for health for fitness, for relaxation, for stress reduction etc. Every thing from Bird Watching to Historic landmark hunting, to training for a 5k. I've written three books on walking and this is my favorite, both for its content,style and workbook format!

Happy walks!
Maggie Spilner

Walking is the #1 exercise of choice for women over 40. Walk Your Way Through Menopause offers women an entire program of walking and gentle strength training to relieve the symptoms of menopause, fight midlife weight gain, strengthen bones, slow the aging process, and improve mental well-being.

Maggie writes about her own experience, as well as the experiences of the many women in her walking clubs. She tells readers about the positive experience of walking with friends, taking care of yourself, and enjoying this time in a womanÆs life.

Editorial Review:

This compilation illuminates menopause as both an event and a stage of life by gathering together a variety of discipline-specific meanings and research perspectives. The result is an admirably comprehensive study that not only charts the premodern meanings of menopause, but examines menopause from current biomedical, endocrinological, cultural, and psychological perspectives.
