Book Description
According to Geoffrey Redmond, M.D., a majority of the 42 million American
women between the ages of thirty-five and fifty-five suffer from vulnerability
to their own hormones. Appearance, emotions -- and even sex drive -- may be
affected. Symptoms include thinning hair, persistent acne, mood swings, low
energy, loss of pleasure in sex, weight gain, irregular periods, and pain. While
the media has emphasized the problems of menopause, Dr. Redmond explains that
all too many women experience hormonal miseries even in their thirties. Lab
tests are often normal because the problem is not the hormones themselves but
how a woman's body reacts to them. Healthy, active women suddenly find that once
quiescent hormones have taken over control of their lives. Because their
problems are often dismissed as trivial, women who are hormonally vulnerable are
frequently thwarted in their quest for help. Too often they are brushed off with
remarks such as, "Your tests are normal; there's nothing wrong with you." This
is tragic because, as Dr. Redmond demonstrates, hormonal balance can nearly
always be restored with the treatments he details, which include individualized
use of prescription medications, herbal supplements, lifestyle changes, and even
spiritual practices. Many women have heard that testosterone can help sex drive,
but most have not been warned about the damage that careless testosterone
therapy can cause on skin and hair.
In this book, Dr. Redmond, an
internationally recognized authority on testosterone in women, explains the only
safe ways to use testosterone. With informative sidebars, quizzes, and personal
stories of women who have overcome hormone vulnerability, this helpful book will
empower you to find treatments for your hormone problems that are tailored to
fit your own body, biochemistry, symptoms, and lifestyle.
