A Book Every Woman Should Read
Perimenopause is probably not a word that most women are familiar with, but many may have symptoms beginning in their 30s (while others don’t until their 40s or 50s). Perimenopause spans the period of time when the body’s hormones fluctuate back and forth but before a year has passed since the cessation of menses. I was one of these early perimenopausal women. In fact, I wish I had this book back then because when menopause hit in my early forties, I was shocked; only looking back did I realize that some of those strange 30s changes were actually perimenopause. It would have been nice to know beforehand that such was a possibility; prepared is forearmed.
This is a powerful and empowering book. We are not slaves to our ever-changing perimenopausal hormones (though it seems that way at times), and the author does give solid advice on everything from relationships to hormones to the possible mind, body, and spirit changes that may happen. It is a very positive book, and she is like a wiser, older friend who shares the details with you and clearly wants to help. I encourage every young woman to check out this book, as it is best to enter perimenopause informed. If you’re still suffering symptoms even after all is said and done, even older women should read this book.

If you’re a woman approaching the time in your life, or already there, when everything starts to change, then this is a great book to have in your bookshelf. Full of useful information to answer the many questions you may have and some questions you may not have thought of yet. As a woman we deal with so many changes in our body through the years and this book is full of information on what we can expect and also how to handle those changes we get the joy of enduring. Definitely recommend as this can be a game changer for any woman going through this stage in your life.

An informative must-read. This is an incredibly well- written account of the perils of being a woman. Not only are we hit by our hormones when we reach the totally immature age of anywhere between 11 -16 with embarrassing, painful periods, we have to endure pregnancy and childbirth which although is a blessing but in itself is no picknick. After a few good years of sexual freedom and the joys of being a mother, we try hard not to think of the menopause that is looming over us. That is not enough in itself, because we have perimenopause next, which heralds the coming of a few really unpleasant changes. Dr. Garret didn’t hold back on the facts and have given a very detailed account of a whole range of issues that will occur to our bodies, although may affect women in different ways or extent. Oh, dear! The joys of being a woman! However, I think this book should be compulsory reading because knowing and understanding certain changes would save women from many unpleasant issues, like self-doubt, understanding mood swings, altered metabolism, weight gain, un-ovulatory cycles and a whole lot of issues which encompass being a woman. There are some good explanations and advice that will no doubt prove useful to many.
