This book is a quick read and easy to understand. The Doctor gives you a way to help yourself via saliva tests and non-pharmaceutical remedies. I recommend this book.
I have been using the cream for almost a week -- the first few days, I felt some uncomfortable side effects of nausea and migraines but I reduced the amount of cream I use (1/2 tsp) and by the end of 5 days the side effects were much reduced and I feel my body is adjusting well. you can google the side effects of progesterone creams so you can be informed. In just 2-3 days I noticed the intensity of my hot flashes was cut in half which is such a relief!!!
This book has also inspired me to seek out a holistic minded ob/gyn in my area and it has made me realize that my treatment can be gentle and custom tailored to me. For that, I thank the good Doctor Randolph.
The cost of the saliva test is $150, projesterone cream $40 and the phone consult is $100. I have had the phone consultation and I would say you can skip that (very superficial) and spend your money visiting your doctor instead. The nurse on the phone consultation only recommended 2 supplements for me, contrary to what other reviewers have suggested.

This is just another diet book that encourages you to spend more money on additonal products. If you are a South Beacher don't bother wasting your money. Any sensible diet will help you lose weight AND diminish your belly (along with many other areas). All the creams and lotions and "potions" suggested to go along with this diet will certainly help you lose. Lose your money!

I've been taking all of the vitamins that the book suggests for about 5 weeks. I've actually lost over 1" from my belly. I'm in my mid 40's and have the typical belly too many of us middle aged women get. Nothing I do seems to touch it, but so far this looks promising. I am hoping to actually have a waist again. I'm going to stick with it. Their reasoning for why we get that belly fat makes sense to me.

I gained 30lbs in 8 months, and I have been on some sort of diet for two years with only weight gain to show for it. I assumed I might be having hormone issues so I tried this book. What I read, really seemed to apply to me and I was excited to get started. Now after 2 months on the program, I am not as excited. I didn't have to change my current diet plan much and in the first 30 days I lost 5 lbs - which is not great, but it's the first downward movement I've seen on the scale since early 2006 so I was very excited and hopeful. The second month I gained 3 lbs back and I didn't change anything. So - as far as weight loss, I am not sure this is the one for me either. But I can say that since I started taking the supplements, I do feel better overall, I am not as tired so I will continue those. (I didn't use the progesterone cream as I had a reaction to it). There are a lot of 5 star ratings, so I have to assume that this plan works for some people.
Good Information about how hormones affect your body July 23, 2008

I am in my late 30's and have had hormonal issues since having my son 5 years ago. While I wouldn't consider myself overweight, I do have the tummy to prove that I'm a mom! I have been taking the supplements now for over 2 months and haven't lost any weight, (I exercise and eat right most of the time) but have had some success with the way I feel. My monthly cycle can be intolerable at times and I've noticed a big difference in the way I feel emotionally and physically - all for the better. This is not the "magic cure" but I think it's worth trying - it may help with PMS. Good Luck!
