""""Period Fix"" by Heidi is a game-changer not only for women but also for men. Let me explain. As a male dietitian, I work with women in a clinical capacity every day but never really understood the menstrual cycle and all its challenges. Heidi's really helped me see how much of a difference nutrition, supplements, and natural remedies can make in balancing hormones and improving well-being both before and after menopause. Most women I speak to seem to accept their periods as they are: painful, sometimes erratic and with lacklustre support from their doctors. Heidi proves it doesn't need to be this way. She gives you not only the understanding of what's going on but a specific prescription of what to eat and what supplements to take to reduce all the negative side effects of having a period. I don't say this lightly but I think Heidi's book should be given to women of all ages immediately. In fact my wife is not far from menopause and I will buy her a copy because I know it will help a great deal."" Mike Sweeney, RD
