Hormone Harmony

Hormone Harmony addresses millions of women who are struggling with hormone imbalance, an epidemic that is disrupting countless lives during menopause and much earlier in life?a widely unrecognized fact. It demystifies the subject of natural or bioidentical hormone therapy and debunks the myth that menopause is the primary trigger of midlife symptoms such as constant fatigue, lack of zest, sleep difficulties, mood swings, weight gain, loss of sex drive, forgetfulness, fuzzy thinking, and even hot flashes. In a friendly style, the book reveals the chief lifestyle triggers of hormonal havoc that are ignored in health care today; why six key hormones?insulin, cortisol, thyroid, estrogen, progesterone and testosterone?must be in balance; how to restore harmony by making practical lifestyle changes that cost little or nothing; and when necessary, how to get medical help. While aimed mainly at women, Hormone Harmony includes a chapter and plan for men.
