Here's a good book for those of you who are just starting to experience some of the symptoms:
Before the Change : Taking Charge of Your Perimenopause
by Ann Louise Gittleman, Jonathan V. Wright
With this essential do-it-yourself program, you can say good-bye to hormone havoc and sail through your perimenopause, the period of about ten years leading up to menopause, by understanding and controlling its symptoms.
Dee's Review: This book was written in 1999, but is getting new life after the author was a guest on the Dr. Phil Show. Because Gittleman is a nutritionist, her approach to hormonal issues have withstood the test of time. You still have to be cautious about expecting everything she suggests to work for everyone, but it's worth reading for sure!
