Self-Help Health

Dr. Erika Schwartz combines gentle encouragement, smooth organization, and broad health education in her surprising simple 30-day plan. Rather than lumping all women together in one group, she's taken the time to separate out age groups, laying out the varying needs of vitamins and supplements while emphasizing that every age will benefit from increased walking, morning stretches, drinking plenty of water, and cutting back on coffee and alcohol. The 30-Day Natural Hormone Plan includes many features found in diet books (journal pages, recipes, recommendations for specific brands of supplements) but the goal isn't primarily weight loss. Instead, Schwartz aims to help regulate hormonal fluctuations that lead to sugar craving, fatigue, blotchy skin, hot flashes, and sleeping problems. Two sections at the end of the book are worth reading before you dive into the book: a glossary that explains terms like "bioidentical" and "ostopenia," and a short chapter that outlines the headline-making study of women and synthetic hormones that identified serious health concerns. Whether you're looking for natural alternatives for easing menopause, relief from monthly migraines, or just hoping to improve your overall health, you'll find plenty of benefit from Schwartz's nutritionally sound month-long plan. --Jill Lightner
