"Rethinking Women's Health: A Guide To Wellness" is the first book to provide practical and integrative health solutions while addressing exactly what women can do to shift their culture from one that treats disease to one that cultivates wellness for women at every stage of life. Women are beginning to understand that they must find and share their own solutions to health epidemics in order to achieve wellness, rather than relying on an over-industrialized health care system. These stories hold the power to heal women.

The OB/GYN is the primary doctor for females throughout their lives, yet women are not getting answers to serious health concerns at doctors’ appointments. They are swarming blogs, chat rooms, and Facebook support groups looking for alternative answers to health challenges and encouragement from an empathetic community as they move through the stages of womanhood. Women are taking the responsibility for health back into their own hands. As integrative health hero, Dr. Terry Wahls, says in the Preface, “People are interested in wellness because the epidemic of poor health has not been stopped by increasing medications or medical interventions.”

The groundswell of discovering diet and lifestyle health solutions is evident in everything from the popularity of Dr. Oz to the latest best sellers: Grain Brain, The Blood Sugar Solution, The Power of Now. The purpose of this book is to provide current, integrative resources for women dealing with female health puzzles and to simultaneously reshape the way our culture handles female health for the next generation. The book is divided into three sections based on female archetypes: The Maiden, The Mother, and The Wise Elder. Each section addresses female health challenges present in specific phases of a woman’s life within the cultural context that helps create them. In an authentic and relatable voice, every chapter provides difficult-to-find but effective health solutions and resources for female challenges, while presenting cultural changes that could improve how women approach their health overall.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pathway to Care
Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2016
Verified Purchase
Rethinking Women’s Health: A Guide to Wellness provides a holistic perspective of female health that has relevance for females at all ages. The author leads her readers down a pathway toward female health represented by the stages of the Maiden, the Mother, and the Wise Elder. Each developmental marker is characterized by its own physical, mental and emotional challenges and its own rewards. The author provides in depth research, narrative examples and abundant references that encourage further study.
The book is reminiscent of Carol Gilligan’s earlier work, In a Different Voice; for, implicit though out its pages is an underlying tone of the Ethic of Care. Dr. Buehler alludes to each stage in the care ethic with honest and courageous personal examples of her own life struggles. Readers experience the evolution of an ethic of care- from care of self to care of others and finally to an integrated care of self and others. Readers experience, as well, what it truly means to care. It is not enough merely to recognize that a person has a need, nor is it sufficient to see that another’s needs are met (usually by someone else). Only as one experiences the true act of providing care- or becoming the care -giver- has the ethic of care reached its ultimate. This book demonstrates that progression.
The book is beautifully framed with each chapter introduced by a quote reflecting the context of the chapter. The book’s conversational tone and readability make it a pleasure to read. It can be read in its entirety or revisited chapter by chapter as the need arises. Dr. Buehler’s first book is a worthy addition to the literature on female health.

This book is amazing. I feel like I am having a heart to heart conversation with a friend as I am reading it. I can't believe I just read a page-turner about parenting, talking to my kids about sex and STDs! It is a book that has stimulated me to be more mindful-- mindful about the way I treat myself (emotionally, physically, mentally, nutritionally, etc) and mindful about parenting.Openness is not a one-way street, nor to the doors fly open at moments of convenience. If I want my children to grow up able to talk to me, I have to be able to talk to them- to address all topics, even if they are uncomfortable for me. Children will be curious and I need to able to talk about their bodies, their decisions, sex, ... everything.... just as freely as they grow into teenagers as I was when they were learning to read and do math. This book walked me through some important self-discoveries that I will employ to be more mindful and to hopefully set examples that will help my children be more mindful too. I will not be present for many critical decisions that my kids will make, this book is helping me prepare me and my kids for those times.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rethinking Women's Health is a treasure
Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2016

This is a great book for many reasons. Dr. Buehler is on the cusp of starting a revolution, not only for women's specific healing needs, but for a so-needed change in the way we accept and talk about our whole bodies, not just the parts that don't make us "blush and giggle".
Beyond exposing her own health issues, ones which can be embarrassing for us to talk about openly, and paving the way for these topics to become just as normal as a conversation about arthritis or heart disease, Dr. Beuhler cites many, many resources and references for solutions to specifically feminine health concerns. And she goes even beyond that to address how we talk to our children about their own bodies in a natural and accepting way, how this modern life has become void of such important aspects as initiation and rites of passage for boys becoming men, and girls becoming women, and the near-total lack of even passing on to our youth what it even means to become a man or a woman.
This book is really a treasure of insight and information and is written in a warm and informal style that is a pleasure to read.
I highly recommend it for all women AND men.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great read for anyone!

Everyone needs to read this book! It mostly dives into women's health, but it also talks about issues and topics that everyone comes across in their lifetime. There are not many books out there that deal with real life health issues and normal body functions of females. She helps us understand that we are all normal, and we can get through anything as long as we connect to ourselves and others, make dietary changes, and maintain an active lifestyle. I wish I could give a copy of this book to every woman I know! She shares with us all of the knowledge and research that she has collected through talking to hundreds of different women, books, articles, journals, etc. She lets us know that we are not alone, and walks us through many things that we all come across as women at some point in our lives. Her book is informative and also humorous! She covers topics from health and wellness, to talking to your children about sex, STIs, common women's reproductive issues, and much more. I can not wait for a part 2!

5.0 out of 5 stars Must-read for women and those who have daughters.
Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2016
Verified Purchase
I wish this book had been available when I was a young wife and mother! However, I highly recommend it as a resource on women's health for women of any age. Alison frankly addresses some issues and concerns that many of us have struggled with over the years without support or clear direction. Her dedicated research, which led to a holistic approach for healing herself, is valuable information we can all use to live healthier lives.
Additionally, as a mother of young sons and a daughter, Alison hits head-on the challenges of raising children in our current internet and media-soaked environment where the promoted information may be neither accurate nor healthy. For anyone with children in their lives, this book will provide an impetus to proactively give them the quality time and attention they need in these most impressionable years.

I'm thankful Alison took the time to share her experiences and research on this journey toward mental, spiritual and physical health, and look forward to future books from her.

A refreshing approach to women's health recommending a woman be treated as a whole and not just according to her symptoms. This book gave me lots of new ideas to try in dealing with my chronic illness and is full of additional resources.
