Synopsis

A Personalized Program for Better Hormone Health

It's no stretch to say that the information about perimenopause, menopause, and hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is confusing and often scary. Hormonal changes over time are natural, but they can sometimes be difficult. But they don't need to put too much strain on your health and sanity if you understand what's happening in your body and know how to manage it.

This workbook is your most valuable resource for hormone health. Written by a pioneering team of hormone researchers, it puts up-to-date, scientifically sound hormone information at your fingertips. Each chapter includes helpful exercises and assessments to help you get a clear picture of your health and make a plan for total hormonal wellness. You'll also benefit from real-life stories of women just like you who have encountered hormonal challenges and, with the powerful tools in this book, made positive changes for better health.

Learn about your body and your hormones:

•Chart and examine your personal and family medical histories to help understand your current or future hormone health
•Use the hormone symptom questionnaire to track current or potential hormone situations, including estrogen and progesterone, thyroid, or adrenal imbalances or menopause
•Learn which tests and treatments are appropriate for particular hormone-related conditions
•Make informed decisions about whether to consider HRT
•Take control of your health and your life with a personalized strategy for greater vitality through balanced hormones

About this title

Synopsis

It's no stretch to say that the information about hormone health, menopause and hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is considerable, confusing and often scary. But the consequences of ignoring hormone health are pretty scary too. With so many choices and so much riding on them, what's a woman to do? The authors of this book have spent many years researching age-related health problems, especially the effects of hormones on health. In this workbook, they put all of the most up-to-date, scientific knowledge about hormone research in one place and use it to help readers decide the best treatment available for their particular health situation. Using extensive and interactive checklists, symptom lists and self-assessments, the book helps readers track symptoms. Then it takes them through the available medical and non-medical treatments available, including human-identical hormones (the new HRT), lifestyle and dietary changes, supplements and other non-HRT treatments. Without necessarily advocating one treatment over another, the book helps readers decide which approaches are best for them.
