Where once treatment recommendations were based on studies conducted on men, fortunately, medical science is catching up with the physiological differences between men and women that can affect a woman’s chances of developing a range of age-related diseases; dementia, breast cancer and osteoporosis.  Diseases that often have different symptoms and risk facts for women than men.

“Thanks to advances in medical science,” says Dr. Brown “We now have great options for disease prevention, options that are easy to understand and easy to implement in our daily lives. However, nothing is failsafe: genetics and environmental factors can override even our most valiant efforts to attain and maintain good health. But you know what they say: advice works only if you act on it. I hope you will.”

Amazon Customer Review, 5 stars

“A Woman’s Guide to Healthy Living” is a very useful survey of most of the issues that Women are researching and are concerned with.
I had a few topics in mind when first looking through Dr. Brown’s book. I found the subjects and responses easily in the index and was able to look at a glance at her research and opinions.
Being a post menopausal Woman with a fare bit of experience navigating the various phases, I appreciated her insights and suggestions about the journey.
I found Dr. Brown to be insightful and excellent at communicating her thoughts in a clear and concise manner. Her style is informative, yet casual and warm.
I would highly recommend this book as a solid general reference book.

“An insightful approach to aging and wellness”

Marie Moore
From Women of Influence Magazine

No matter who I see, no matter what age group, when we’re talking about preventative health, women will say, ‘I know I’m supposed to do that, but I just don’t have the time.’

It’s a paradigm that Dr. Vivien Brown has been dealing with throughout her long career. She’s been a family physician in Toronto for more than 35 years, and is the Vice President for Medical Affairs of Medisys Corporate Health, a national network of medical clinics dedicated to preventative health care. In her practice, she hears a variety of explanations from women regarding what makes them “too busy” ― from work demands to raising kids to taking care of elderly parents. Her response to each one is the same.
