Super Woman Rx: Unlock the Secrets to Lasting Health, Your Perfect Weight, Energy, and Passion with Dr. Taz's Power Type Plans

I have taken a lot of personality type tests over the years and found most of quality to be pretty accurate but this one was a bust for me. After adding up my score and looking over the info for my supposed type I found that I had none of the health issues in common. I looked at another type and found a few similarities. Maybe my post menopausal age messed with the test. Not worth it for me so I am returning it.

The Superwoman RX by Tasneem Bhatia, M.D. is about five distinct types of women that narrow in on behavior, physical, and even social problems that the type may experience and how to correct the problems that each type may have in order to emphasize their strengths. The methods used to address these problems come from many different sources such as traditional medicine, alternative medicine, Chinese medicine, and Indian medicine. The thoroughness of the book is seen in the areas that are addressed from diet and exercise to beauty remedies, psychology, and alternative medicine strategies. While other books sometimes categorize the reader to narrow in on groups of people to provide answers, the author explains that they often still recommend the same treatment. While there is considerable overlap in the treatment remedies for the groups the author has put together, the way the treatments are done are different and more individualized that any other book I have read and to my amazement she accounts for people even switching the group they are in and includes this into her methods for treatment. I really enjoyed reading this book and found it quite informative and helpful. I identified really strongly with my type and have been dealing with several of the health issues that she talked about. Most extraordinary to me is that only one of my doctors, a gynecologist, was able to even explain to me what was happening the way that Dr. Bhatia describes in her book and I have begun maybe more aggressive and invasive treatment than necessary. I am eager to try out the supplemental remedies for my type especially because they are what I have been asking doctors about for some time now yet have gotten practically no where with it and now I know there is a natural alternative. There’s so much right with this book! I loved the layout of it and it allows you to navigate easily back and forth so you can keep your place in the book yet find the recipes and so forth while you are reading one chapter and it is conveniently placed in a section all its own. Also, there are directions for exercises and apps to look up how to do the exercises as well as pictures for many of them which makes it feel much more manageable to me. I never know where to start and now I have ample resources. Additionally there are even recipes for skin and hair care that is more natural and geared towards the type you fall in that I can’t wait to try as my doctor has just started treating me for problems with my scalp. It is excited to find a book that backs up what my gynecologist has been talking about and even goes further in depth to where I know she is on the right track now. I feel like I have been given a great resource manual to help me overcome some of the health issues I have. I really don’t have much criticism for this book. The editing is professional and more helpful with links than any other book I have ever seen. I like the way it was laid out and divided up. The subject manner seems dead on to me and very helpful. The beginning of the book was a little long in explaining the differences of this program but not to the point I would have stopped reading; I just wanted the author to tell us already! There is still quite a bit of overlap in fixing the problems but I have to agree overall that there is a difference for each type and enough of one that they author’s claims are proven true that other books are not like hers. I noticed some of the pages overlapped maybe due to graphic errors but they weren’t that big of problem as I could easily tell when the box words would pop up there might be some repeat text. Overall, I’m sold. Readers will find a great resource book and a whole new way to look at their health with this book! It has excited me to try the recommendations and look at all the resources that have been gathered for me to try to improve my health.

I received an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. This book couldn't be any more spot on in describing me and the things I struggle with! It was eye opening to realize that NO, you don't have to be tired and struggle with low energy all the time! This book provides realistic tips and plans based on YOUR unique Power Type that are easy to follow and implement. I couldn't recommend this book more!

There are a lot of recipes and meal plans in this book, if that is what you are looking for. I had expected information about an integrative approach to health. The author touches on the definitions of integrative health and Chinese medicine, but does not expound past that. It seems a lot of her experience is from conventional medicine, and though the author touts a "custom" approach, the suggestions in the book are fairly generalized and mainstream.

I've read so many books and articles to try and get myself balanced and this is the first one that I felt got it right! Dr. Taz looks at the whole body and mind to help you feel the best you have ever been. In a world where doctors and advertisements bombard us with drugs we need to take to get rid of conditions and fad diets to be "skinny" this book gives smart natural alternatives using food and vitamin/mineral supplements to detox and have more energy.

Dr. Taz is amazing and her book is nothing short of the same! Love it. Truly an inspiring woman who helps pave the way for a healthy lifestyle rather than a quick fix diet. If you are ready for a lifestyle change based on your personality and wellbeing then this is definitely the book for you.

Love this book! So much amazing health information that I hadn't heard before and I especially loved hearing about Dr. Taz's medical practice and how it differs from the doctors offices that we're all used to. After reading this book I feel so much more empowered to take my wellness into my own hands and try out dietary and lifestyle changes to supplement the medical care I receive from my doctors.

I hate to leave negative reviews but here I go: This book, for me, was a waster of time and money. The analysis by this author is far fetched and far reaching. Don't waste your time....

Such a fabulous book

Amazing and easy to follow advice.

Bought this for a friend a work and she loves it!
