What's Your Menopause Type? is the authoritative guide on menopause type identification and management. Based on widespread clinical experience, extensive review of lab tests and exhaustive review of scientific literature, this book presents clear and practical information on identifying and treating each of the unique menopause types. Dr. Joseph Collins has worked in both private and group practice before becoming an educational and clinical consultant for laboratory assessment of hormones. He continues to maintain a limited private practice. Dr. Collins currently serves as a consultant and lecturer to physicians, pharmacists, and consumer health groups. He is widely regarded as a leader in salivary assessment of endocrine function. In this one-of-a-kind book, Dr. Collins shows how women can determine their own menopause type and then choose a nutritional, herbal, glandular, and hormonal treatment program for their type. The book provides women with important and practical information, such as: A complete description of hormones and their effects on the body. How nutrition, herbs, glandulars, hormone precursors and natural hormones can be properly used. A questionnaire for the reader to determine her menopause type. Advice on how to order consumer-direct hormone tests. Suggestions for choosing a "hormone-educated" doctor. And so much more!

This is the first book to offer women an individualized treatment for the symptoms of menopause. In What's Your Menopause Type? Dr. Collins has identified 12 distinct menopause types and developed a treatment for each. With this unique book, Dr. Collins shows women how to determine their own menopause type and then prescribes a nutritional, herbal, glandular, and hormonal treatment program to manage the symptoms for each type. He also provides women with a complete description of hormones and their effects on the body, a questionnaire for the reader to determine her menopause type, advice on how to order consumer-direct hormone tests, and suggestions for choosing a "hormone-educated" doctor.
