Going Menopostal by Amy Alkon is an all encompassing study in the female body. When our medical practitioners do not have the time to research menopause, Amy Alkon and her journalistic skills do. Her outsider perspective gives her just the edge she needs to read heavily on this topic and "fight" the good fight for getting the treatment she knows she deserves despite physicians quoting that one out dated finding. Alkon's goal is to tip the patient / doctor relationship on its head to get the results needed to live a better life. Power of knowledge, data, and assertiveness!

If you do not know much on this topic, get ready you are about to learn all that and more. I personally, have read many books now on the subject and this one is snarky and fun. It reinforces what I have learned else where and I believe it takes several times hearing facts before you own them and can repeat them accurately to your lady friends who haven't read the literature.

My only critique is that Alkon focuses so much on herself and her own diagnosis that it becomes hard to relate or know what is right for me. Carrington MacDuffie does a fabulous job making you feel like you are chatting with a brilliant girl friend over a latte and scone!

Thank you for this advanced listeners copy of Going Menopostal!
