“Women who are experiencing painful, heavy periods need to know they have options. Part of being a healthy, vibrant, empowered woman is doing your homework, asking questions and pushing for answers. It’s about talking with your doctor and making an informed decision.” - Dr. Jennifer Ashton, MD, ObGyn, author, ABC News chief medical correspondent, The Dr. Oz Show contributor and featured expert in Flow Fighter.
What women are saying about the advice in Flow
“I knew I WANTED a hysterectomy. If it hadn’t been for this book and the motivation it provided...I would have lost my husband and a third job due to “flooding.” Yes I know all types of people will read this review, men and women, and I honestly don’t care. Flooding is flooding and if you don’t know what I am talking about then this book isn’t for you. Thank you Holly...you saved my life.” - Annette
“This book is a Godsend! I was scheduled for a hysterectomy in 10 days. I picked up this book and it validated all of my misgivings! I found a new doctor and now I am on hormone therapy. An anti-progesterone pill once a month to shrink my fibroids! Imagine my shock that this was even an option!! Yes we need to talk about women’s health more. Don’t be ashamed. Start talking!!! Read, ask questions and absolutely educate yourself! It is a blessing to have choice and we
do have choice whether we know it or not!! To your health!!!:).” - N. Jackson
“A real wealth of info. There are more to hysterectomies than you likely know. If you are considering one, there are many other options and this book looks at them all. Added resources for further research. Minimally invasive methods for
fibroids and endometriosis are out there before you decide on major surgery.” - Shola
“Thank you so much for writing your book. It is empowering my family (my two sisters, me, and Mom) to prepare and ask the right questions as our mom plans for a possible hysterectomy this summer.” - Pat
“You deserve the great reviews on your book! I admire your perseverance in bringing this issue to light!”
- Zöe
“Holly Bridges writes so well you feel as if you are talking to her face to face. She uses humor, interesting words, writes in terms that women can understand and has extensively done her research. I like the fact that she states ‘every word in this book has been reviewed for accuracy by medical contributors.’”
- Kanisha
“This is a great resource for any woman going through peri-menopause. It’s been a book I turn to again and again. I’m facing a decision about hysterectomy, and this book has helped empower me. I never would have known, even from talking to doctors, that my experience is not only normal but shared by many, many other women in my age group. Thank you to Holly Bridges for writing this book. I hope it helps many other women.” - Kelly Lee
