Women, Food, And Hormones: A 4-Week Plan to Achieve Hormonal Balance, Lose Weight, and Feel Like Yourself Again Hardcover – September 21, 2021

I really enjoyed reading this book! Great information. Look forward to implementing the plan to help balance my hormones.

I’m currently in week 4 of following Dr. Godfrey's Hormones book, and I’m already down 16 pounds! At first, it felt a bit complicated to figure out, but once I purchased the tools and items I needed and got into the routine, it became surprisingly simple. If I can do it, anyone can!This book is not just about weight loss—it’s a valuable resource for anyone looking to reset their hormones, navigate menopause, or improve their overall health. Even if weight isn’t a struggle, the insights and strategies are incredibly helpful. I absolutely recommend this book to every woman. It’s truly empowering and has been a game-changer for me!

I was excited to find this book and to read this book. Things make sense when you read but then they don’t. I am very familiar with Keto lifestyle and was excited to tweak it towards my hormones. However, this is rather frustrating to finish the book and not to have a plan. I am apple, so.. what do i eat today? The cover states 4 week plan. There is no plan. Just very vague suggestions. Recipies are also confusing and not easy. I am not regretting reading the book but never felt more confused about what I should actually eat today.

I love this book and the information in it is very helpful. I have done Keto before and was very loose with it but the Gottfried protocol pinpoints specifics for women and it is just a 4 week minimum reset, not keto forever which I like a lot. Dr. Gottfried guides step by step on how to teach/train your body to have metabolic flexibility which I think is key for everyone, especially people over 40 (ability for your body to use both carbs and fat as energy). I’m in week three and feel awesome, thinking clearer and have a lot of energy, oh and I’ve lost 6 lbs in fat only. I’ve been strict with it, following all the tips and tricks to a T because I was ready to do it and do it right! Thank you Dr. Gottfried!!

Good information. Sometimes hard to read like a normal book. It's both a helpful book with meals in it.

I've been anxiously awaiting the arrival of this book for months! I have had some success with Keto diet and felt a million times better on it than I thought I could feel now that I'm in my fifties and post-menopause.But I was not getting the results I had hoped for or read about online.Well THIS BOOK EXPLAINS IT ALL! I finally have the "golden ticket" to my weight loss goals and how to manage my hormones(feelings).I stayed up all night reading it to the end and loved it! I feel heard, seen and as though I've had an insight into what's been going wrong with my attempts to lose weight and feel normal again. And best of all the path to fix it!I love Dr. Sara and have read all her previous books, but this time around it feels like she really put herself in the mix and tried it all as a scientist/doctor to figure out what the heck goes on with our hormones, and how what we eat plays a vital role in how we feel, look, respond, and get healthy! Thank you so much!A must read for any woman who hasn't been able to unlock the secrets of managing weight loss and hormones.

This would be a good book on a couple of conditions. I would want a doctor who could check my hormone levels and my family doctor said I would need an endocrinologist for that and they are very difficult to get in with. The big issue for me is she was pushing a modified keto diet and that's not the type of food plan I am interested in so I sent the book back. I want to change my diet for life but I have never be interested in Keto. At 62 I would love to have my hormone levels checked because they impact so MANY areas of your health.

The title gives the most hope. After that...yeah, no. The *advice* is riddled w stories of patients,integrated with text boxes that talk about what was being said prior. Then in the middle of it all are the *helpful parts.*The layout is too busy, way too much to muddle through, inside on book written for women who are *already known* to be in a stage of their life (peri to full-blown menopause) where concentration and memory rival that of a flea.My feedback is indemic to the industry of others who write on the same topic! I was extra disappointed by this book, particularly since it's written by a medical practitioner who should know better.The struggles of perimenopause are underdiscussed and underexplored! Please put together a practical help book that appeals across all economic circumstances and maybe follow format like a children's picture book. And, no, I'm not kidding. And, yes, I have an education and have walked the earth for a very long time. Our collective patience at this stage is very thin and slippery. If you know this, why do you write a book on this topic as if we still have the brain plasticity of an 18-year old.
