A gift to any woman in her forties - buy it now!! - By: Ms. Mandy Baldwin, 25 Aug 2008 
Explains,in accessible, friendly language, just what is happening, & it's effects, physical, mental, emotional & spiritual. What a relief! A phrase which sticksin my mind is "the female body between 40 & 50 goes through as much change as it did between 10 & 20." This book explained why I had the feeling I had of not being the person I had been just a short time recently - & even gave me a sense of pride, serenity & excitement about the new stage opening up - that it was a beginning, not an end. There are so many lossesin the 40s: kids leaving, divorce, relationships ending, job-loss, parents dying and/or becoming ill. The buck stops with us, as we have to shoulder so many problems, while also seeming to become redundant, compared to our thirties. I had suffered all of these since turning 40, while my body also seemed to 'let me down', & this book not only told me I was NORMAL, & not alone, but gave 100s of practical tips for dealing with stress, insommnia, mood swings, hot flushes, skin care, diet, exercise, supplements, lifestyle, work, sex, play etc. I can now honestly say this book gave me a new sense of purpose & serenity, & showed me the beauty of accepting this change, so I now feel I am successful at being the new 'me', not that the old 'me' has somehow gone down the pan.
Insightful, informative and inspiring. - By: , 11 Jun 1999 Every page of The Power of Perimenopause is a gift. Perimenopause was a confusing & often trying time for me. No-one prepared me for the emotional & physical rollercoaster I would be on during those critical years before "the change." I was often frightened or worried that something was wrong with me. This book clarified it all. It is beautifully written, & compelling to read. Even the science is accessible & easy to grasp. I came away from reading The Power of Perimenopause with a whole new understanding about my body. I truly felt empowered by the informationin this book & all of the options it offers a woman for a healthy, happy life.
Awesome! - By: , 27 Mar 1999 To begin, with I am going through perimenapause myself. I found her book to be very insightful to every aspect of a woman's life during this period. Stephanie writes with such understanding, wisdom & knowledge that I find myself sharing her book with everyone whom I feel would benefit, even people I barely know. It is similar to teenage years when you don't think anyone understands or is going through the same things you are, then you find out that someone does understand & has been there & done that & has suggestions to help you through it. You don't feel so alone. With Stephanie's book you know there's hope for a brighter today & tomorrow.I am looking forward to her next release.
A revealing, thorough enterprise on perimenopause. - By: , 24 Dec 1998 After hearing a very helpful lecture on perimenopause (especially the time period of several years BEFORE menopause), this book was recommended. It presents a good, down to earth explanation of some very complex issues, many of which are poorly understood by many health professional (of which I am one). I actually bought this book for my wife who had been diagnosed with anemia, depression, & stress. After following the advisein the book, I am a MUCH happier husband, & my wife is feeling healthy again. She understands what her body is going through & how to handle it. What else could you want?
