Hormone Intelligence: The Complete Guide to Calming Hormone Chaos and Restoring Your Body's Natural Blueprint for Well-Being by Aviva Romm

This contains what I think of as the standard alternative medicine cure for what ails you: cut a few major food groups (dairy, meat, grains, etc.), go low carb, cut all processed foods, cut artificial sweeteners, cut alcohol, cut caffeine, reduce your stress, heal your gut, reduce inflammation. It's all fine advice, but I was looking for more scientific information about menopause remedies and it doesn't really address that (there's a chapter at the end about perimenopause). I skimmed a lot of chapters that didn't pertain to me. It felt very different from Menopause Manifesto, which I recently finished. Manifesto is supper skeptical about fads and anything that doesn't have clear research behind it -- this seemed like more of the standard alternative theories.
