Outdated. Most of the material in this book is great EXCEPT for all of the bioidentical hormone replacement therapy pushing, and this book pushed it hard, which is now considered just as questionable and unnecessary as synthetic hormone replacement.
The FDA has reported that, according to clinical studies, hormones that are marketed as bioidentical or natural don’t appear to be any more effective or safe compared to hormones used in traditional hormone therapy products. Some research also shows that hormones that are marked as bioidentical might not be much different at all from those in traditional hormone replacement therapy and might even be riskier in some cases.
