Everything women need to know is in this book.

Here are a few highlights:

• The female body has over 300 tissues with estrogen receptor sites, and estrogen plays a role in 400 functions in the body which can impact a woman’s lifelong health.
• Estrogen protects a woman’s coronary arteries from plaque buildup from puberty to menopause, and the risk of coronary heart disease increases significantly after menopause.
• Although menopause typically begins around age 50, estrogen production begins to decline in most women much earlier. By the time a woman reaches her late 40s, her estrogen levels could be in full decline.
• Menopause can result in 35 to 66 negative health consequences, the most important being heart disease.
• Heart disease is the number one cause of death for women, and more women than men die of heart disease each year.
• The risk of contracting female reproductive cancers increases when women reach the average age of 65 and beyond.
• The Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) study announced inaccurate data results in 2002 stating that estrogen use could increase a woman’s risk of breast cancer and heart disease. Ten years later (2012), the WHI stated that they made a mistake in their data analysis, but the damage had already been done.
• Studies have estimated that up to 91,000 American women died prematurely between 2002 and 2012 (following the 2002 WHI study results) as a result of avoiding estrogen therapy.
