Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
In this revolutionary new book, Dr. Tracy Gaudet, director of the Duke Center for Integrative Medicine, shares her remarkable vision of a new way of looking at self and wellness, which will change the way women think about their bodies, their health, and their lives.
Through her own personal journey as well as her work with thousands of women as an Ob-Gyn, Dr. Gaudet knows that being able to tap into the spiritual, emotional, and cyclical realities of female life has a powerful effect on health and well-being. Yet she has found that many women are “unconscious” of the intimate connections between these realms. Now Dr. Gaudet explains to women how to reconnect their bodies and their souls, in order to become “consciously female.” Using her experience in integrative medicine, which draws on the best of both alternative and conventional Western practices, she offers mind-body techniques that will give you a deeper understanding of the inner workings of your body, and acess to your unique feminine wisdom.
By helping you make the best possible choices to support your health and wellness, the process of becoming “consciously female” will enrich and empower your life, day to day, week to week, year to year.

Consciously Female is a book that is as interesting as its title. I am not a doctor, nor do I have any medical background, yet I was totally able to identify with most of the information (if not all) that Dr. Gaudet mentions in the book. It is a great book and an excellent read.
Dr. Gaudet is right. Women health issues have been marginalized in social and professional systems. For example, a woman suffering from PMS is not considered a reason good enough for her boss to give her the day off. She's expected to carry on being productive, regardless of the hormonal, physical and emotional turmoil stirring inside her.
A pregnant woman is expected to tolerate morning sickness, but not yet educated about the reason why it happens, or how to embrace it.
More interesting issues Dr. Gaudet raises are inside this valuable book. I highly recommend it to anyone who believes they should listen more to what their bodies tell them, and schedule their actions accordingly.

Dr. Gaudet understands that women's body are impacted by more than the usual environment and eating habits. She makes you aware of the spirtual consciousness that connects our everyday living. Whether you have a chronic illness or just want to explore a wellness plan for your body, this is a must read.

I worked at University Hospital Labor and Delivery in San Antonio for the very first eight years of my nursing career. Every year 7-8 new doctors would begin their residency. Most were competent or became so over their tenure but a handful were truly fabulous, so much so that I remember them to this day (I've been a nurse 17 years now). I would have chosen any one of them to be my personal OB/Gyn had they been in private practice. One of those physicians was Tracy Gaudet. I was so pleased when I heard she had joined with Dr. Weil to form an integrative medicine practice in Arizona after her residency. I finally got this book and I'm not surprised at how good it is. The book reflects the kind of physician she was then and the even better physician she is now. She is more than just a doctor, she is a healer.

Not sure what the other reviewer is referring to about support -- this book is about stuff you can do on your own to be healthier. You don't need anything (or anyone) else! I loved the "tools," which are easy ways to pay attention to your needs. It's all about paying attention. Learning to think about myself this way helped me to quit taking my body for granted. I think this should be required reading to anyone starting a weight loss program!
