We have all been there - you tell your doctor about a problem you have
been having, possibly bad cramps, or headaches, and they pass it off as
nothing. But for many women, it is something, and something they can
do much about. This book is about the benefits of using natural
progesterone cream to alleviate many common symptoms. Derived from
the wild yam, it can gently and effectively support your own body's
rhythms, helping those who suffer from infertility to cramps to many other
ailments.

The Fat Flush Fitness Plan by Ann Louise
Gittleman, M.S.,C.N.S.
We were skeptical. Flushing fat? Sounds great, but....
Then we took a closer look. Its a diet program and a fitness guide
in one. The basis for the exercise regimen is bouncing on a
mini-trampoline. It tells us how to lose that dreaded (and very
unhealthy) tummy fat. And we learned that this "inside-out-body
workout" targets the lymphatic system, detoxifying our bodies at the
same time. We came away from this book with hope, hope to get rid of
our own tummy fat and get healthier at the same time. Off to buy our
mini trampolines!

Natural Hormone Balance for Women : Look Younger, Feel Stronger, and Live Life with Exuberance by Uzzi Reiss
Hormones aren't just an older woman's
problem. Did you ever wonder why your doctor always asks at what age
you first got your period? They want to see if you were an early
bloomer. And the reason they want to know is that the longer your
body is exposed to estrogen, the higher your chances of getting certain
diseases (such as breast cancer). The hormones in our body, and how
we control them, are important at every age. This book is a great
source of information to get you on your way.

Us girlfriends spend so many years trying not to

prevent pregnancy, whatever your wish.
