I was thrilled to obtain an ARC copy of this book because I have familiar with Aviva Romm and also love researching anything hormone related。 On one hand， I really enjoyed many parts of this book。 I loved the multitude of more natural remedies to various hormone related issues， and she even lists many that I have personally used and know to help。 One of the things that really bothered me though is the blatant misandry throughout the book。 She went overboard on the "girl power" and it distracted I was thrilled to obtain an ARC copy of this book because I have familiar with Aviva Romm and also love researching anything hormone related。 On one hand， I really enjoyed many parts of this book。 I loved the multitude of more natural remedies to various hormone related issues， and she even lists many that I have personally used and know to help。 One of the things that really bothered me though is the blatant misandry throughout the book。 She went overboard on the "girl power" and it distracted from the premises of the book。 She even goes as far as telling the reader that they "need" a female doctor。 My experience with female doctors has been the opposite of what she claims。 I find that the female doctors I have gone to lack empathy and feel because they haven't gone through what I have or felt the same way， that somehow， my experiences or feelings aren't valid。 Whereas， most of the male doctors I have had know they have not experienced what I have and are quicker to listen， less likely to dismiss me。 I have talked to a number of individuals who have the same experiences as myself。 I'm sure it does happen in the reverse sometimes， but I feel like her pool of opinions， women who are following her or go to her， is so strongly biased that it invalidates her argument。 Yet， she speaks so black and white， as if she is an expert on the subject because she is a female doctor and she knows some women who have had negative experiences with male doctors。 I am very hesitant to dismiss a whole sex of people in a particular profession， like she has， because there are always some bad eggs。 By her logic， I should surely dismiss ever going to a female doctor because the way she outlines male doctors is exactly how I was treated by female doctors。 My point is， if she wants to give a shout out to other female doctors， that is fine， but she doesn't have to throw male doctors under the bus to make her and other women doctors look good。 Actions speak louder than words。 She also uses some language in the book， which was distracting and felt out of place。 I enjoyed a lot of the information， but some parts were just too agenda driven and opinion heavy。 。。。more
