The Sexy Years

Discover the Hormone Connection: The Secret to Fabulous Sex, Great Health, and Vitality, for Women and Men

De: Suzanne Somers

Narrado por: Suzanne Somers

Getting older can be brutal: women gain weight, lose their sex drive, experience hot flashes, suffer memory loss, and on and on. After years of being thin and fit and full of energy, Suzanne herself encountered the "Seven Dwarfs of Menopause": Itchy, Bitchy, Sweaty, Sleepy, Bloated, Forgetful, and All-Dried-Up. Instead of living out the rest of her life cranky, sleep-deprived, and libido-less, Suzanne set out to discover how she could get her mind, body, and life back and banish those pesky dwarfs for good.

The result is The Sexy Years. In this passionately argued and enormously practical book, Suzanne supports her own research and experiences with the expertise of leading doctors in the field of women's and men's health and sexuality to create an inspiring, accessible call-to-arms to women to radically rethink how they approach life after fifty, and give them the tools to turn their lives around.

Suzanne has discovered that the second half of life has been more rewarding, fun, and purposeful than her younger years. The key to her happiness? Taking natural bioidentical hormones. The Sexy Years provides a step-by-step plan and detailed information about how women can take control of their health, for themselves and for their men.

With bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, Suzanne has found the fountain of youth, the elixir that has made her feel thirty years old again. The beauty of growing older, she maintains, is that you can combine the wisdom of age with the vitality of youth. Suzanne makes it perfectly clear how women and men can regain their zest for life at any age. These really are the sexy years!

Thank you Suzanne!

My life has gotten so much better since starting on bioidentical hormones. What is even surprising to me is my Nurse Practioner in the womens clinic at the Air Force Base actually knew all about bioidentical hormones and was more than happy to accomodate. This is wonderful, and I'm so much happier now...

Candid, mind-blowing information

Susanne’s personal experiences and her quest to heal… To find the answers that allowed her to heal, grow and BE vivacious once again is what made this book an absolute page turner for me. I love that she is the voice of the audible made it all much more real and personal. I rewound and took notes often. She is so wise because of her undaunted quest to understand and what she has learned along the way she explains clearly. While she has found the answers for herself, she emphasizes that we must be interested in doing the same type of research and examination for ourselves. Every woman’s genetic makeup is different and no “one size fits all” hormone pellet or pill“ will serve us identically. It could even harm us.

It’s a balance and it is YOUR balance of hormones according to your DNA that you have to find. I am on the quest. I am hopeful. I am already more alive knowing that I have the opportunity to be ALIVE, fully alive , as I live my post menopausal years!

Thank Your Suzanne Somers!!!

Would you listen to The Sexy Years again? Why?

Yes, I already am listening to the book a second time! It's informative, enlightening and I love that Suzanne is reading it herself. It makes it feel more personal.

What did you like best about this story?

The information put in terms I could understand. It was like sitting down and talking with Suzanne and the doctors which seemed to make it easier to understand and follow.

Which character – as performed by Suzanne Somers – was your favorite?

Suzanne of course. I love it that she is sexy and smart!

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

YES!

Any additional comments?

I wish her book I'm Too Young for This was in audio form. I would buy it in a minute!

Thank You, Suzanne!

Perhaps too technical for an audio book, I still have to say THANK YOU! Trying to talk to a doctor about some of these issues is not easy - most mumble and hem-haw around the entire issue ? then write a prescription for an anti-depressant and HRT. This confirms what I've thought for years and cannot get any doctor I've seen to agree to - we need bio-identical hormones all of our lives. It is truly sad that the medical profession is driven by the pharmaceutical companies to sell those man-made hormones. I am now empowered with questions, definite decisions, and information to find another doctor! I highly recommend this book to any woman OR man who is trying to figure out what is going on with menopause. BTW - I'm going to buy the hardback on this and take it to the next doctor with me!

Very informative!

There isn't anyone who shouldn't read this book! It is full of great info. It is written in a way that makes it easy to understand.

Amazing!

Changed my life-I am so very grateful. I was so down confused I have hope.

Wow! I learned so much!

I really enjoyed this book because it taught me so much about what I think I personally am going through at this moment. I recommend this book to all women and their man no matter your age. And now I begin my quest for finding my true balance in all the hormones that I may be lacking. Thank you Suzanne for all your hard work and research!

Informative for women in their 40’s

Even if you’re not in menopause yet, this book gives a lot of information about how your hormones affect your life. Even if you don’t plan to go on bio-identical hormones you’ll finish this book with a better understanding of what’s going on inside you. Inspiring and well written.

I loved Suzanne's narration!

Suzanne delivered the contents of her work as she intended, and I loved the results!
I read this book not long after it was published and long before I needed the wisdom it contained.
I now needed that wisdom and I knew where I wanted to start. I am beyond happy that I revisited this book with Suzanne's delivery.
I am so thankful for all of her work, study, and her sharing of the knowledge she has gained.

A plethora of information

Very useful and Inspiring. I’ve learned quite a bit from listening to this audio. I will Incorporate good knowledge from this book into my daily lifestyle. She gives me hope and insight in bioidentical hormones.
