“Vivien has a true gift for decoding complex material to give her readers relevant and valuable information that can benefit their brain health.”
“Having worked with Dr. Vivien Brown for the better part of 40 years, I never cease to be amazed by her ability to teach and explain medical issues in a way that everyone can understand. The complex becomes clarified, and the knowledge she delivers becomes powerful tools for all of us to channel into becoming healthier!”
“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”
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.
“Don’t expect the usual “look slim in your 60s” tips. Instead, Brown offers evidence-based advice that could change how women feel about osteoporosis treatments, hormone therapy and vaccinations later in life.”
“Dr. Brown’s conversational style makes you feel like you are getting your questions answered over cappuccino. She explains in her introduction her common-sense approach to taking charge of your physical well-being. It’s an informative read that empowers you to be your best self. I will encourage my friends to read it and take it to heart.”
