" We live in an age of casual pill popping. This frenzy of prescription drug taking is abetted by doctors, patients, and of course, Big Pharma-eager to protect a U.S drug market worth more than $350 billion a year".The focus of this book isn't to demonize drugs, but to provide women healthy, effective alternatives."Our symptoms are our body's way of speaking to us and are a wake-up call to change our behavior, approach or attitude", writes Gedalia . "When we take medications that mask our symptoms and dull our emotions we dim our ability to recognize the underlying problem and what our body or heart is trying to tell us".Her book distills the holistic gems that Gedalia has used to help her Atlanta clients with clear-eyed chapters on the benefits of meditation, nutrition, movement, Ayurveda, vibrational healing, and the emotional vitality unleashed through connecting with one's creativity.Her timely compassionate guide serves as a call to women to look beyond "pill-popping" to adopt new healthful behaviors and practices that benefit the mind, body, and spirit.
