Female Brain Gone Insane: An Emergency Guide For Women Who Feel Like They Are Falling Apart Paperback – Illustrated, October 1, 2009

About 18 years ago I entered Hell, also known as Perimenopause. It is not hell for every woman, but it is hell for enough women. This book is a pioneering book in my opinion. I went from 39 years old to crazy seemingly overnight. Then, somehow when no doctor or specialist or anyone knew anything; some way, I don't remember how, I found Mia Lundin. She held my hand over the phone.....sort of speak. Back then she lived in California and I in Florida. Her recommendations got me on the road to survive this thing. Gave me an idea what was happening and ....saved my life. Literally. I was completely ignorant about " The change", anger became rage, fear became anxiety, sadness became depression with homicidal and suicidal ideations....I called it an internal Holocaust. Mia Lundin was ahead of her time. This is my seventh book, because everytime I buy one I give it away to any young woman I meet or work with, as I wished someone had done it for me before I turned 39.Female Brain Gone Insane might not be the be all end all on the female hormonal insanity that the ovaries grand finally can be, but it is,in my opinion a phenomenal starting point. And for some women it offers all the guidance they will need to travel this transitional journey with dignity and some sanity. I'm postmenopausal now, but the hormones are on a different stage of settling down. Of finding their new normal....it takes time....and so I find myself reaching out for Mia's book one more time to help me thru this phase, cause the medical industry it is just catching on......shame on them. Too many women have gone thru tremendous pain of every type you can imagine, cause hormonal imbalance due to the ovaries grand finally it's not even taught in med school. But the world is waking up, and the topic is hot in podcasts and social media, cause a lot of women are screaming for help, and it's getting podcasters a lot of views also known as money.I am so thankful that informed newer and future generations of women won't have to go thru the hell women of the long ago past, and not so long ago as me, went thru.They will not have to suffer thru it, if they choose to stay informed. Thank you Mia.

I LOVE this book! I purchased my own copy after first checking out our library's. I was so impressed and so grateful that they had it, that I emailed the library a thank you. Since then I have purchased 2 copies as gifts and recommended to all the women I know. This is the best book I have read so far on general female health. It's very easy to read and follow. Mia has outlined four steps to help you have better health based on your age and emotional type. It doesn't group all women into just one category! I love the chapters on the adrenal and thyroid. But best of all, she does NOT promote her own products! And of course, it's not just about supplements. But what you eat, exercise, relax, etc. Mia must be a very smart and caring lady. She shares her story as well as some of her patients. I would love to meet her someday and tell her what a difference her book made in my life. Every woman should read this book, and follow her advice.

Thank God for this book. At age 42 I crashed into perimenopause and had no idea what was happening to me. After seeing several doctors who all told me everything was "all in my head" and that I needed to start a regimen of anti-depressants and anti-anxiety meds, I finally went to see my gynecologist who told me I was in peri and put me on birth control pills. At first, they worked like a champ, but after a few months the bottom fell out again and I slipped back down the rabbit hole. Out of desperation I searched for an answer and came across this book. Ordering it was one of the best decisions I ever made. Mia explains everything, why it's happening and how to fix it through the use of bio-identical hormone replacement therapy and neurotransmitter repair. My only complaint is that I personally felt she gave a bit of an impression that menopausal issues can be resolved in a matter of weeks (but that was just my personal interpretation). After a lot more research and talking to other women on BHRT, I've realized this is a long, slow process full of a lot of bad days, but eventually, sometimes minute-by-minute, the good times start to kick in and you slowly but surely begin to climb out of the hole. Hormone production declines over years so it can't be fixed overnight. But it's an excellent read and you will come to understand that it's not just you and that you are definitely not alone.

Female Brain Gone InsaneWhat a great book. I learned so much about myself.I have been off HRT for 5 yrs because of breast cancer. Each year more problems arise. Recently I have developed high anxiety, brain fog, memory loss & disliking being around people (I use to be an extrovert.)Mia Lundin's book has defined my path for the future. I am seeing results already. The neurotransmitter supplements mentioned in the book according to my symptons have helped me get back my old self or close to it. I am less anxious, enjoying friends & have my memory back. I am still working on the brain fog.The book starts off w/how to use this book, next is why & how this brain change happens, on to identifying where you are in the process, life improvement techniques, & lastly excellent resources. There is an excellent Emotional Rescue Plan that readers can complete & begin their healing.I have seen & read many health practitioners: western, eastern, holistic; but no book has given such clear steps & definitive answers to the changes of the female brain & its repercussions on one's life.
