I really like this book. It is very straightforward and matter of fact, obviously well researched and yet easy to read. Dr. Edelman includes many womens’ stories within the book which keeps it more interesting. She does an especially good job explaining what studies about hormone therapy in menopause really found as opposed to what newspaper headlines screamed about the studies. In addition she has an excellent chapter on women and heart disease and how to care for oneself and help prevent heart disease. One of my favorites though is the chapter on “better bones” and how to prevent osteoporosis: it really challenged some of the things I thought I knew and made me examine my own lifestyle choices.
I like the approach where the author discusses all different treatment options…from conventional medicine to those far less conventional.
I really believe this book is a must for all women and probably should be read by women 30-35 and up so they can gain this knowledge at a young age and help promote a longer and happier life.

Menopause Matters: Your Guide to a Long and Healthy Life
This is the book I have been waiting for on the subject of menopause and women’s health. It covers a great deal of ground on subjects both mundane and complex, all in one place. Within its covers you will find answers to questions you should ask, questions you did not think to ask, and questions you might be embarrassed to asked. All the answers well researched, complete, accessible, and comprehensible by all readers. Menopause Matters should be required reading for every adult woman, regardless of age. The format lends itself to finding answers to a particular question or to reading all the way through. It will become a well used resource that will be read and reread.

I have thoroughly enjoyed Dr. Edelman’s book. I was pleased to see that she included her opinions on natural approaches, as well as issues on moods, memory, sleep and how to avoid increasing ones risk of cancer and heart disease. A thorough and concise book which I found to be easy reading. I think that the lay person would also find it easy reading because Dr. Edelman explains everything in an easy to understand manner. Great Work!

Menopause Matters: Your Guide to a Long and Healthy Life
I think of myself as fairly knowledgeable regarding the typical health issues faced by women, since I have read a good deal of health information over the years as it relates to myself and my daughters, who are now college-aged. However, not only did I get many new tidbits of information reading this book, Dr. Edelman’s easy-to-understand and considered dialogue encouraged me to achieve a new perspective about taking care of myself.
This book made me feel important as a woman. It gives credibility to the issues that women tend to keep quiet about because they’ve been conditioned to view them as a weakness or inconvenience. It made me feel empowered to regard my feminine health with due importance, as well as to be more proactive in working with my doctors.
I enjoyed reading the vignettes throughout the book. There were quite a few scenarios I related to personally. Also, with the way the book reads and the way the patient stories follow along with the topics, I had nearly every question that popped into my mind answered. Dr. Edelman’s expertise and many years in gynecology practice have enabled her to anticipate our questions and answer them in a way that is easily understandable.
I also appreciated the inclusion of holistic methods for treating symptoms of menopausal and health issues. I hope that more doctors begin to see the importance of using naturopathic remedies in addition to pharmacology.
Menopause certainly matters, but this book is much more than an education for women going through “the change.” It’s a comprehensive guide for living our healthiest life from the earlier, child-bearing years and onward. It is a book that should be referenced over and over again at the various stages of our lives. I will make sure that each of my daughters has one on her bookshelf!

Its refreshing to find a book concise, easily understood and that provides options for your issues. YES, a reference that actually presents ‘alternative options’ to treat you. I believe there’s a time for Western medicine and a time for Eastern medicine; this book offers both.
I have read through this book and it is now on my shelf awaiting each change that life throws my way. Dr Edelman’s index allows you to go to exactly the subject you are dealing with. This makes “Menopause Matters” a perfect guide to refer to whenever you are experiencing a symptom that concerns you.
“Menopause Matters” is a must-have for every woman!
