(BP636) Marina Johnson MD is a board-certified Endocrinologist and Pharmacist. In 2011, she was honored to be invited as one of twelve speakers at the Cleveland HeartLab Annual Symposium. Her program, "Seven Strategies For Prescribing HRT & Cardiovascular Implications", represented AMA Category 1 Continuing Medical Education (CME) for keeping physicians up-to-date on the very latest evidence-based research and methods. Dr. Johnson is the Medical Director of the Institute of Endocrinology and Preventive Medicine in Irving, Texas. In her 30 years of practice, she has managed over 100,000 female patient visits. She has no financial ties with any pharmaceutical company. Her book provides break-through research explaining why topical bioidentical hormones, in the form of pharmaceutical patches, gels and mist products are safer and more reliable than oral synthetic and compounded hormones. (25-7-16) REVIEWS "I've been a patient of Dr. Johnson's for 4 years now. Lousy quality of life, fat and miserable when I found her, she has changed my life. I now love living, have lost 40 pounds, feel and look 30 years younger and only intend to get better. You owe it to yourself and the women in your life to read this book. Following her program is not easy or quick, but it's well worth the time and effort you spend. I'll never go back to the way I was. There are two most important women in my life: my mother, who gave me life; and Dr. Marina Johnson, who made it worth living again." Celia D. Trimble Attorney "An absolute must read for all adult females. Her Johnson Menopause Method is evidence-based and backed up by 30 years of continuing clinical experience. From a medical standpoint, her method contains excellent concepts which are all too often missing in current clinical medicine. It is refreshing to read a book that is obviously divorced from medical industry bias. Her willingness to share her wealth of knowledge is commendable. Her book empowers women with essential information that will allow them to take responsibility for their own well being. Healthcare providers who deliver hormone replacement therapy should be required to read this book." Dr. Bradley F. Bale The Bale/Doneen Method Assistant Clinical Professor Texas Tech School of Medicine "Outliving Your Ovaries is a must read for every woman. Not only because it demystifies so many controversial and conflicting views in treating menopause, but mostly because one can put that book down and feel absolutely empowered. Women can now have the intelligent and informed conversation with their doctors about their bodies that so many of us have struggled to have. Dr. Johnson helps us to understand - with honesty, and decades of research - the real risks and real benefits of how you treat your body during your child-bearing and menopausal years. It's not that this book goes out of its way to criticize or put down others' work, conclusions or opinions. It's that Outliving Your Ovaries gives women a FAIR view, one that isn't backed by a pharmaceutical company, Hollywood cult phenomenon, or other financial directive. And because Dr. Johnson speaks on our behalf without that pressure, I personally find her word trustworthy. But trust is not the only reason to listen, Dr. Johnson's credentials also speak for themselves. She is a trained pharmacist and endocrinologist, giving her unique perspective on risk and benefit of Hormone Replacement Therapy valuable weight. I have read and re-read this work since it was first published, discussed it with my doctor, and with confidence, taken an active role in my health and treatment. I've gifted this book to my mother and sisters because I love and care about them. I recommend this book to anyone who is a woman or cares deeply about one! It will change your life."
