Paula Wagner<br> Cruise/Wagner Productions An intelligent book that talks straight about women's issues and enhances our understanding of how our complex systems work. This is empowerment!

Leeza Gibbons Dr. Reiss has been my doctor for many years. As I evolve as a woman, he continues to have answers to the questions that matter the most. He has contributed to my physical, mental, and emotional health, and in this book, he shows how all three are connected and how as women we can take back control. For every woman who ever felt her body was out of control, this book is a must-read.
