With WomanCode, holistic health coach Alisa Vitti
shows women how to maintain health and vitality with a food-based
program to rebalance their hormones.
Alisa Vitti found herself
suffering through the symptoms of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS),
and was able to heal herself through food and lifestyle changes.
Relieved and reborn, she made it her mission to empower other women to
be able to do the same.
Whether you are suffering from irregular
periods, fertility issues, depression, or lack of sex drive, Alisa Vitti
says that meds and anti-depressants aren’t the only solutions.
Groundbreaking and informative, WomanCode educates women about
hormone health in a way that’s relevant and easy to understand.
And the five-step protocol can markedly improve health and overall
quality of life.
Bestselling author and women’s health
expert Christiane Northrup, who has called WomanCode the
"Our Bodies, Ourselves" of this generation, provides an
insightful foreword.

While this book was filled with silly shit like swearing an "Oath To Your Ovaries" (fuck off), I really did find a lot of helpful information between its Price-purple-rain colored covers.

A LOT of self-promotion, branding and pep-talks. In between all the rah rah being a woman is so awesome, and your "Flo" is awesome too, there is some pretty good advice.Jun 14, 2013
I really despise the name of the book, because it's actually about your endocrine system and bringing it into balance. Super interesting (and not as condescending as the name suggests) so far.Aug 19, 2016
I was really excited to read this book, but it ended up being a huge disappointment. I felt like Alisa spent too much time talking about less important matters and not enough time touching on the aspects that I was truly interested in. For example, she spend page after page talking about how important it is to eat the proper way for balanced blood sugar levels but then spends only 3 pages giving the actual information on how to eat this way. I, for one, do not need more motivation to eat the I was really excited to read this book, but it ended up being a huge disappointment.

I, for one, do not need more motivation to eat the right way but like to have much more specific information on why I need to eat a specific way. For example, she says to avoid tuna but then doesn't ever say why. That was the kind of information I was looking for. I was excited to change some of my habits and create better health, but Alisa simply did not motivate me. I could see how meeting with her 1:1 in person through her consultation practice could be beneficial, but without a 1:1 consultation, the information was way too broad for me. ...moreJan 31, 2017

This book is really excellent! It has been a life saver for me this year and I'm so glad I decided to follow much of the advice as a new year's resolution. Vitti also has brilliant videos on Youtube. Some of the best advice is to eat plenty of fruit and veg. It's a given but your 5 a day is not enough. You need to vary them a lot more and rotate them so instead of having a large serving of broccoli with your dinner, make that broccoli, cabbage, asparagus and green beans.Nov 30, 2016
Well. I heard about this book from listening to The Lively Show podcast. As a sufferer of PCOS, I thought this might be helpful, but much of the diet kind of stuff is what you can read on any uber-healthy trendy blog--wheat, dairy, and sugar are out; vegetables and lean protein are basically the only things that are in. I can't subscribe to such a restrictive diet.Jun 05, 2018
Having been raised in Texas—where our women’s health education consisted of a five-minute anatomy video, a stick of deodorant, and a maxi-pad—I possess a shockingly limited knowledge of the functions of my own body and hormones.

Has some good principles. I'm going to try this for a few months and see if it makes a difference. Must be pretty convincing if it got me to quick eating sugar and soda. I feel better and think more clearly. I've lost weight and am sleeping better. We'll see in a couple of months if it is helping with my hormones.Apr 05, 2017
An awful lot of this book was dedicated to talking about how great this program is. So much of the information felt watered down with trust-me-this-works kind of statements. And it's fine to include that kind of thing. But confine it to the introduction please-for-the-sake-of-actual-content.May 27, 2017
I heard the author on a podcast and immediately purchased this book. It was pretty informative about how everything works together in your body and how food and lifestyle choices impact a womans health.

eat veggies, drink water, listen to your body, rest, there are four main hormone cycles a month. I purchased the app 'hormone horoscope PRO' to help me keep track. very long winded, could have been a Ted talkAug 13, 2015
3.5 Stars. This is a book about women's health with a particular focus on how our cycle of hormones affect so many parts of our lives—not just our periods, but our skin, weight, appetites, and energy levels—and what happens when these cycles get thrown off through stress, poor diet, or by being artificially controlled by birth control pills. I was inspired to read this book about women's health after hearing the author speak on one of my favorite podcasts, The Lively Show. She had a compelling 3.5 Stars.

I was inspired to read this book about women's health after hearing the author speak on one of my favorite podcasts, The Lively Show. She had a compelling story and perspective, so I was eager to read the book. Having a number of similar health issues to the author, and having already embraced a more natural, holistic approach to health, I was fairly sure that the book would be right up my alley. A good portion of the book was informative, scientifically-based, and useful, especially the first half, although it mostly served to reinforce what I'd already come to believe. I'd definitely recommend it to other women who are curious about more holistic and natural health care and learning about their bodies and cycles in a more intimate way. However, I will warn women that some sections do contain a bit of hippie, "woo woo" language, particularly about honoring masculine and feminine energies within yourself. But I've come to expect some of that in these holistic health type of books. I will also warn that the author recognizes the importance of the birth control pill from a feminist standpoint, but she is quite anti-Pill from a hormone-controlling standpoint. I happen to agree with her for my own body, but I sort of felt uncomfortable with her broad suggestion that women shouldn't take the Pill. My main criticism is that a lot of the information in charts and lists (recommended foods, supplements, physical activities) could have been better integrated into the book to feel more helpful and less textbook-like. I wish the book would have provided some recipes that support this way of living, especially since she recommends different foods for each part of your hormonal cycle. Instead, the last section of the book serves to promote the author's online community and resources, but I would have preferred the book to be a stand-alone resource. ...moreNov 30, 2015
The information that was there was good. I would have a more scientific description about the particular foods she recommends for the different phases of a woman's cycle. However, she included way too much self-promotion. I wanted more information about her system, so I decided to look on her website. She has a program for individual assistance on woman's health issues. This costs $297, even though she advertises it as affordable for all women.

Her plans are very restrictive and I feel that only people who have a certain degree of time and money can afford to go on them. Also I wasn't a fan of the fact that she's against manufactured hormonal contraceptives (e.g. the pill, patches, etc.). As a broke college graduate with PCOS, I don't think I could follow Vitti's approach without my oral contraceptives.January 20, 2018

Loved! Loved! Loved this book! It is a must read for every woman. Get to know your body. Alisa Vitti provides a step by step approach to getting your cycle and hormones in balance.Mar 17, 2015
I picked this up after deciding to stop using birth control pills due to some health issues. It's mainly been helpful in figuring out how to adjust my diet in order to get my cycle back on track after years of artificial hormones. I skipped over a lot of the more hippy-type stuff (I'm not making any vows to my ovaries, sorry), but the science was accurate and useful.Jul 30, 2017
Oh my word. Self-help-y books either gel with you or don't. This one and I are a super-don't. Our personalities are at complete odds with one another. Ovary oath? Umm...no. The branding forcefully sprinkled throughout is nauseating. The bibliography is sparse and short, and there are very few footnotes matching data or statistics to conclusions. As a scientist, I do not trust her, at all.Oct 26, 2019
It is my opinion that every woman should read this book! This book is full of scientific evidence and research for supporting your endocrine system , healthy fertility and menstrual cycles. The author has practical ideas on how to get these areas under control and in a healthy state. While she can be a bit repetitive, her information is easy to understand. Loved this book!!!!Nov 16, 2018
I don't know how to feel about this one.Apr 09, 2019
This book has become my bible. Far more women than you think, or they even know, suffer from hormonal issues. Including me. Alisa has changed so many women's lives on how to get in touch with their body and realize how an underlying issue internally can be affecting a multitude of things elsewhere. If you suffer with PCOS or hormonal issues, drop everything and buy this book.Apr 04, 2019
Every woman needs to read this. We get so busy and forget to listen to our body but it has a lot to say. Highly recommended!Mar 13, 2019
I really enjoyed reading this and I think that every woman can benefit from the Woman Code. I love figuring out how my body works, and what it does to keep me alive.

I had heard about this book and wanted to try and balance my hormones a bit more. There was more advice in here about food related ways to fix your hormones than I was expecting, but I think it is worth exploring if you have any hormone related issues. Most women unfortunately, probably do have hormone issues - feeling tired, moody, acne, cravings, etc. I am going to try fixing my hormones as much as I can by eating certain foods and paying attention to how those foods make me feel.
