Moody Bitches

“In a frank style—think good friend who’s a doctor—Holland examines how prescription drugs work in relation to the stages of women’s lives. This guidance is aligned with recommendations for healthy diet and exercise practices that naturally equalize the body’s systems.” —Library Journal

“Feeling moody or bitchy doesn’t mean you have a substandard brain or a psychiatric-medication-du-jour deficiency. In her groundbreaking new book, psychiatrist Dr. Julie Holland tells you exactly how to work with your unique brain and body chemistry and embrace and upgrade all of your feelings.” —Christiane Northrup, M.D., author of Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom

“Not just informative, Moody Bitches is funny and provocative. An important guide to health and well being for women of all ages.” —Laura Corio, M.D., author of The Change Before the Change

“This is the most important book on being a woman since Our Bodies, Our Selves. Scientific yet compassionate, Dr. Julie Holland provides actionable, state-of-the-art advice on how women can navigate through an ever-changing hormonal landscape. She not only gives women new command over their bodies, but also shows how extreme moods and emotions might better be listened to than chemically suppressed.” —Douglas Rushkoff, author of Present Shock

“Dr. Julie Holland gives us a deftly written, deeply insightful exploration of women’s hormonal fluctuations, sensitivities, and mind states not as pathology to be medicated but as an expression of their true selves. Moody Bitches is both engrossing theory and a practical guide enabling women to remain natural in an unnatural world.” —Gabor Maté, M.D., author of When the Body Says No

“This book should be read by moody bitches everywhere and the befuddled bastards who love them. Dr. Julie Holland has distilled decade of clinical and personal experience into a radically commonsense approach to the fluctuations of femininity.” —Cacilda Jetha, M.D., and Christopher Ryan, Ph.D., coauthors of Sex at Dawn

“Myself, I’m a moody bastard, but I’ve learned a ton from this brisk, provocative, and instructive book. Dr. Julie Holland writes with the authority of a clinician, the warmth of a good friend, and the urgency of someone who really cares.” —Joshua Wolf Shenk, author of Power of Two

“Finally, an evidence-based guide to health for women, by a woman, that speaks to the mind, body, and spirit of womanhood. An invaluable manual for moody bitches and essential reading for anyone who knows one.” —Andrew Weil, M.D., author of Spontaneous Happiness
