Book Reviews

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.

“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.”
