Period Power

I'm not so keen on being called a menstruator, instead of just woman, but beyond that fact, I thought this book was really insightful. The key message seemed to be, monitor yourself and get to know what is your normal, so you can tell when things go differently.
I wasn't aware of the benefits of having regular period per se, with the appropriate fluctuation of the hormones, and how contraception can interfere with that, to not having a period at all (hormonal ones) and only leading to withdrawal bleeds. This felt more informative and detailed that Dr Hazel Wallace's book, so I'm glad I happened upon it.

Unlike some, I didn't mind the "woo-y" stuff in this book, and I definitely learned some crucial things. However, all the diet suggestions (with hidden ads) and added anti-fat bias put me of so much I don't even know how to rate this.
Also, I couldn't stand the tone of voice of this book.

I had much higher expectations from this book. It's basically a "it aint so bad" guidebook for teens who get their first period, and not the scientific volume I was hoping for.
