Naturopath Lara Briden wants to give women the knowledge and tools to improve their period health. Every woman will menstruate in their lifetime, and one in two women will struggle with their period health. Lara's book, previously self-published, has already garnered rave reader reviews because of it deals so openly and compassionately with this important aspect of women's health.

Containing invaluable advice for women of every age and circumstance, and detailing natural treatments from nutritional supplements to a healthy diet, this book promises to help women change their relationship with their menstrual cycle.

Topics include how to come off hormonal birth control; what your period should be like; what can go wrong; how to talk to your doctor; treatment protocols for all common period problems, including PCOS and endometriosis.

Thoroughly researched and written in clear and accessible language, Lara Briden's Period Repair Manual is the ultimate guide to better periods.

  1. Charting your waking temperature is another, equally scientific way to measure your progesterone. If you see a consistent temperature rise and a luteal phase of at least eleven days, then you know you made enough progesterone.

  3. Some forms of magnesium (such as magnesium chloride) cause diarrhea, but gentler forms such as magnesium chelate (magnesium glycinate) are usually fine. I recommend 300 mg directly after food.

Lara Briden has a great writing style and the book has a good amount of technical information written in an easy to understand way. I spend years trying to sort out menstrual issues, and this book would have saved so much time an effort if it had existed when I was in my teens and 20's. Great book.

This book offers such a simple explanation how the female body works. Having lived with some of the mentioned conditions for more than a decade, it provided a great alternative to conventional medicine. I've been applying the suggestions for the last 3 months, and they definitely worked for me.

2.0 out of 5 stars Repetitive
Reviewed in Australia on 9 July 2023
Verified Purchase
While it contains some useful tips, it is very repetitive and makes the idea of coming off contraception very overwhelming:
- no sugar
- no dairy
- no gluten
- and on and on with restrictions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent must-have information
Reviewed in Canada on 29 April 2024
Verified Purchase
This book covers nearly every issue one might have with their period at any age, and more importantly lists research-backed remedies and resources to fix those issues. It's an easy read and not too lengthy, and is written from a holistic approach as the author writes about the other issues which might be related to or be a cause/effect of period issues, such as blood sugar levels, mood, gut health, and so on.

Reviewed in the United States on 23 September 2023

Written so that anyone can understand and provides language and information that will arm you with confidence in talking to your doctor about your particular issues and desired approaches. It goes without saying that somehow this book fills up gaps I hadn’t even realized I had in understanding my own body. It inspires me to research more, and I now have a better basic knowledge as a starting point. It may be cliche but empowering is the word for this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars BEST book on perimenopause by far for so many reason & esp. well discussed section on mood issues
Reviewed in Germany on 17 August 2023
Verified Purchase
Have read 4 other books on perimenopause and menopause and this one is by far the best, especially when it comes to mood issues, as it is very thorough. For each symptom section, like sleep, hot flashes, migraines, mood it goes into what medications might help and what supplements could be beneficial too. It has literally become my Menopause bible and I have looked up issues for friends several times too who have found great relief using some of her treatment ideas. Also, Dr Briden writes very caringly and explains things in details without making it complicated. There are even section under each symptom of what to ask and say to your doctor if they are not in the know, which you might know by now they often don't. I literally used it to back myself up in telling my doctor which treatment I needed/wanted despite her objections, and voila I feel back to my old self again.
