Women's Health Books

I loved it! Very detailed and great questions that will allow you to get to the "HEART" of a person. Its a book for all,... not just women! All of these questions are relevant and the explanations of "why" the question is important are right on point!!!

I found this book helpful and enlighten. It stated questions that I would never think to ask on a date. I recommend this book to all married and single women for entertainment and suggestions.

This is a GREAT BOOK that every woman should read. This was a fun read with lots of important questions that we sometimes forget to ask when dating.

I was afraid my 10 year old would find this book either embarrassing or over her head; neither was the case. She's poured through it alone and with her girlfriends. It covers not only social phenomena but body changes that are easy to grasp but not puerile.

I gave this book to my 11-year-old niece. She loves how straight forward the information is, especially on sensitive subjects like sexuality, menstruation, and body image. She says it makes her feel more confident, less confused, and less alone. And those are all good things, especially at her age. I appreciate the very positive tone and that it has been reviewed by so many experts.

My 12 year old daughter spotted it as we were shopping for books for her to take to sleep-away camp. She chose WHAT'S WITH MY BODY by herself. When we got it, I was delighted to see that Selene Yeager was the author. Knowing the research and integrity she put into her other books, I felt confident that the tone and information would be just right for my daughter and I was not disappointed.

The chapters on body image, stress and mood swings are a gift, let me tell you. These are challenging years for a girl and ones that I would not repeat for any amount of money. It breaks my heart to see my child struggle with body image issues and mood swings and even doubts about herself socially. Yikes, it takes you back...

The advice Ms Yeager offers in the book speaks directly to my daughter and she hasn't put the book down since she bought it. She's literally reading and re-reading chapters every night. She told me that she likes knowing that other kids have the same questions she does. And I like knowing that the information was written by someone who cares enough to give her responsible advice.

Thank you for writing this book. I think that every YMCA in the country should adopt the book as part of a course on "Your changing Body" for the 10-14 year old crowd. I also hope that the school library market embraces this book too. I know what's out there. This is the best book I've seen to date.

This book is a MUST read for anyone and/or their support family that is under going chemo. It is written in a light manner about a very serious subject. The medical terms are there,if needed, but the books tells you more about the practical information than any Doctor will tell you. Get this books for any one who is traveling down this road. It has helped make my journey a lot easier.

When my 38 year old daughter was diagnosed with breast cancer, the bottom dropped out of my world. For nine months, we tried our best to support her through a mastectomy, eight chemotherapy treatments and 35 radiation treatments. Reading Maureen McCutcheon's book gave me hope and helped me to laugh with my daughter at things that were far from funny. I would reccommend the book to all family members as well as to the patients. Thankfully, our daughter is doing beautifully now.

Where Have My Eyebrows Gone? One Woman's Personal Experience With Chemotherapy is the personal and engaging testimony of Maureen McCutcheon, a breast cancer survivor who endured the challenges of mastectomy and chemotherapy. Individual chapters address the trials of hair loss, dry/sore mouth, the importance of maintaining relationships, balancing the option of surgery, and much more. Offering an informative and moving perspective, Where Have My Eyebrows Gone? is highly recommended reading, especially for anyone having to deal with chemotherapy for themselves or for a loved one.

Just wanted to let you know how much the "Promise Between Friends" contract in your book WHOSE BODY IS IT ANYWAY? helped Beth and me when we saw her gynocologist at Kaiser the other day. It turns out she may need surgery.

After reading the applicable parts of your book, we both showed up with some knowledge, objectivity and open hearts. Just knowing she had someone along who cared and would remember the things she forgot gave Beth the strength to be herself. I've never seen her so strong, clear and actually funny. . . talk about effective communication! Besides, we were also focused on where we would have a great lunch later. Just thought I'd let you know from your idea to our experience, it really does help having someone you trust at your side.

Dr. Kenley has given us a superb book on women's health. WHOSE BODY IS IT ANYWAY contains up to date information detailed in an easy to read form. The book is a friendly, feminine,and witty no-nonsense approach that arms the reader with a take control of your health perscription. Yes, every woman needs this book. The advice offered takes the fear out of aging and celebrates the woman in middle life.

"Whose Body Is It Anyway" is a great book, an important resource, and a fun guide to women's health issues. I love the big print, the explanatory charts, and the ease of organization. In addition to physical well-being, Dr. Kenley addresses the mental, emotional, and spiritual sides of women's lives and provides guidance on how to keep our intimate relationships flourishing as we grow and change. Highly recommended.

I found this book to be refreshing, informative, and user-friendly. It's comforting to be able to participate in our own well being, and realize that there are many others who have gotten through this successfully!

Jillian and friends have written a friendly herbal companion for women in midlife. This book is succinct- seven herbs, each with a drawing and a page of information, followed by information on the growing and preparing of herbs. Wild Woman's Garden covers all aspects of these herbs, from sowing the seeds to using them for your health. Yet you are not overwhelmed with too much information. Now I can't wait to enter midlife so I can be a Wild Woman!

An easy read for an easy start making your own herbal remedies. Get this while you can!

This book is the BOMB! I was introduced to this book 1997 and I have purchase at least 10 copies. Why 10 copies, you ask, because everytime I show my book to someone they take it. So, I have learned my lesson to direct ladies and gentlemens to purchase their own copy. I have the hardback and paperback but the paperback is missing so vital information. Buy hardback with all the information you need. I think every women should be given this book at the age of 18 to help them on the road to becoming a "Real Woman".

I feel this book should be every women's self-esteem Bible. I read it over and over just for some refreshening.

I read the hard cover about 3 years ago, so after reading it I gave it to my wife. Boy what a change it has made in my life and my wife's life. We have learned to communicate instaed of shout at one another. I've tried to be more passionate and loving with my wife since I've red this book. It has opened my eyes to how valuable communication is in a loving relationship. Until I read this bnook I always just let things in my relationship work themselves out. I now know that many of my problems could have been avoided if I had only communictaed in an open, honest and loving way. Thanks to Ella Patterson and her will to write a book like this, I am now a happier man, husband and father. I recommend this book to all couples. It's not just a book for women it's for men too. I don't know Ella personally, but If she ever reads this review I just want to say Thanks to her for helping to save my marriage. I am a better man because of her.

This is what it say, a journal to work through the issues related to menopause. A great help for all women.

Not only is this journal full of valuable information, you actually have a place to write in your own thoughts, feelings and ideas. Dr. Northrup knows how to connect with her readers in a warm, available style. I'm very impressed with the informative content and the interactive format. In addition, the spiral bound aspect makes it easier to write in because it opens up flat. I highly recommend this book. Pamela D.

The Wisdom of Menopause Journal: Your Guide to Creating Vibrant Health and Happiness in the Second Half of Your Life
This is a superior gift to women who are pre, in or post menopausal. The wholistic approach by Dr. Northrup is inspirational and very specifically helpful as well. The women in our family were all recipients of this Journal and her Book of the same name. Thank you Dr. Northrup!

Wise Women - Circle of Wisdom is uplifting, educational and insightful. Keep it handy. Open the book to any page and find an inspiring quote and thoughtful activity to help discover your personal purpose and passion.

We all need an encouraging mentor. In "Wise Women - Circle of Wisdom" Suzy Manning is that mentor.I felt cherished, encouraged, and inspired to become a noble female. Thank you, Suzy, for your circle of daily wisdom. I'm buying your book for my daughter too.

I really enjoyed this little book. It's a great coffee table book for the home. I also gave it to a few friends, and they really appreciated the insightful wisdom.

I used this diet to help with my high blood pressure. I lost 40 pounds in 4 months and I felt wonderful. The first two weeks were hard, but after that, it was wonderful. I am getting ready to read the book and go on the diet again.

Twenty years ago I read it and understood how women can and can't lose weight. I lost 40 pounds in four months and felt good, but I lost my copy and need to do it again. Is there any new information, Dr. Edelstein?

I have used this diet a couple of times since the 70's, and have lost up to 30-40 lbs in 3 months on it. Now it has been 10 years, and I have lost my copy of the book, just when I need it again. Actually I probably loaned it to someone.

This book will open your eyes to help you see yourself in the same light the God sees you.

This book gives you "real" information. There is personal information that we don't even want to discuss with our doctors. The "Marriage Doctor" made it plain for us to love our bodies, love ourselves. Thank you for sharing!

This book has excellent infomation on the intricacies of the female body and her unique anatomy. It teaches women to understand and become comfortable with their bodies. It highlights the special way in which different woman are created and shaped and helps them to love their body shape regardless of the contempory societal views on the female. It identifies unhealthy femine hygiene practices and dicusses the female body in ways that assist in boosting the female self image and esteem. It is an excellent read for women of all sizes, shapes and colors.
