Synopsis

A simple, clear, accessible 28-day plan to help you balance your hormones and feel like yourself again from a health-care professional who has helped hundreds of women-including herself-do just that!Hormonal issues were a big part of my life, starting in my teens and especially in my early 20s. When I became a nurse practitioner, I discovered that I was far from alone. Many of my patients struggled with difficult PMS, painful periods, or challenging perimenopause, the transition into menopause that typically begins in the early or mid-40s and continues until menopause finally takes over. My patients were also dealing with endometriosis, fibroids, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), and premature ovarian failure (POF) and other fertility issues. Many women felt, as I did, that hormonal issues were playing far too big a role in their lives. We all longed for a straightforward solution. As I got more information about functional medicine, I realized that many if not all of the symptoms could be resolved. I found that as I made dietary and lifestyle changes I became symptom free.My own experience brought home the huge role hormones play in how we feel. Now when I see women every day with concerns, questions, and frustrations about their hormones, I really get it. And when I hear women tell me that their hormonal struggles shape their lives-that they plan their months around mood swings and cramps, or that perimenopause is making them feel old before their time-I get that, too.

Goodreads review by Ariadna73 on May 05, 2013

This is a book about female health. Basically is an "eat this-buy that" book; whose target reader is a bored homemaker married to a man that can afford her elliptic exercise machines and salmon for breakfast. There is absolutely nothing wrong with assuming that your reader is a very wealthy person,......more

Goodreads review by Nancy on June 10, 2013

I am use to writing reviews about Romance novels. But when I was browsing through NetGalley and came across this book and another one by Marcelle Pick titled "Is It Me Or My Adrenals" I must say my attention was captured. I have been a long time sufferer of Fibromyalgia and possible M.S. But I have......more

Oh my God! Where was this book 20+ years ago!!! It makes so much sense. Any woman (or man married to a woman) should read this book! With my background in health and nutrition, this is the first book I've read that had made any sense regarding women's issues!......more

Goodreads review by Traxy on August 15, 2013

After reading, and appreciating, Is It Me or My Adrenals? by the same author, I plowed on with this one, about hormones, and what effect they have on our bodies. Female bodies, I should point out, because it’s a book for women. While it touches on testosterone, it’s more about estrogen and progester......more

Goodreads review by Jane on June 15, 2013

Marcelle Pick's experience and observation about how hormones affect women's lives, overall, was helpful. As life progresses, propelling me forward into perimenopause and its eventual successor, it was good to read about ways in which this practitioner has assisted other women as they navigate the u......more

“My day would begin with me feeling exhausted and having pains and aches throughout my body. Mood swings, nausea, irregular bowel discomfort, and a constant battle with inflammation and obesity accumulated over the years and left me drained and depressed. My recovery is due to the guidance of Marcelle Pick and her ability to teach the patient how to understand and support their individual needs and create health through nutrition, hormone balance, and spiritual awakening. This book’s method has helped me lose more than 100 pounds, and I have more energy and joy than I can ever remember.”— Patricia Berube

“I have been a patient of Marcelle’s for 15-plus years. Over the years, she has taught me considerably about health and opened my eyes to a healthy life. I was overweight for most of my adult life. With Marcelle’s help, I lost 45 pounds. She never gave up on me. I was tipping the scales at 185 pounds and had tried many different diet plans. Her insights into my food cravings, hormone imbalance, sluggishness, and lack of energy were life altering. I now feel healthier than I have ever felt. Marcelle devised a supplement plan that has made a huge, positive difference in my life. I look forward to my yearly annual check-ins with Marcelle, as each time I visit with her, I know I will learn a tidbit more about becoming healthier. There’s no other way to say it . . . Marcelle changed my life.”— Carol Hauser

“I have followed everything that Marcelle has advised me to do. I’m a woman on her journey.”— Barbara Lavigne

“I have been a patient of Marcelle’s for more than 20 years. The older I get, the more I appreciate her cutting-edge approach to women’s health, her brilliant mind, and her commitment to my entire well-being. Over the years, as different issues have come up, Marcelle has always taken a multifaceted approach to finding the solutions. Marcelle knows me and what makes me tick. I could not ask for a better partnership in seeking optimal health than the one I have with Marcelle.”— Willo Wright
