"I emphasize natural hormones that are precise replicas of your own hormones," he writes, which can increase energy and memory, decrease symptoms of menopause and PMS, improve skin and mood, and enhance sleep, sexuality, and well-being. But neither the widely used hormonal medications, such as estrogens derived from horse urine, nor the "natural" hormonal products derived from soy or yams replicate the hormones produced by a woman's body. Rather, he recommends a natural estrogen formula balanced with natural progesterone, both available through compounding pharmacies (with a doctor's prescription). Dr. Reiss and talented cowriter Martin Zucker explain why, how, and when to use natural hormones. This is not a snappy, one-size-fits-all program--rather, you, with the involvement of your physician, learn how to analyze your needs and individualize your treatment for your own optimal hormonal balance. Reiss describes the benefits and uses of natural estrogen and progesterone, then discusses other natural hormones that might be helpful: testosterone, human growth hormone, DHEA, melatonin, and pregnenolone. This is a provocative book that's worth sharing with your doctor. --Joan Price | Average Customer Rating: This book really should be rated 100 STARS I've read 13 other books on Menopause, and this is really the only one I needed to read. After searching and reading for 6 months I finally found a doctor (in my area) who knows what he is doing. Know what he said? HE SAID TO BUY THIS BOOK and read it `cover to cover' and keep it on hand as a reference. This book IS THE BIBLE ON MENOPAUSE with full instructions on how to learn to read your body. I love the review that mentioned that you didn't need to take hormones, but that all you needed to do was 'fix the cause', well, the cause is AGING and if she has learned how to not age then that's great for her. As for me, when I started replacing the hormones that my body stopped making because of my age, I felt 20 years younger. I plan to replace my hormones for the rest of my life! And while I will still age (as we all will), I won't age so rapidly and hopefully I'll avoid a host of diseases of aging. Natural Hormone Balance For anyone who's been the least bit curious about what hormones are produced and what they do in the body, this is THE book to read! It's written in a comprehensive style, understandable to lay people--the book's intended target. Dr. Reiss lists all hormones that can be supplemented, explaining each and what they do, and why it would benefit a person to take additional hormones, beyond what the body is producing. Written primarily for women, most hormone supplements can also benefit men, providing greater vitality as we go into old age. Check it out! Great Book! This book was very interesting and informative, and you don't have to be a doctor to understand it. Dr. Uzzi has written it in "layman terms" which makes it understandable. I learned so much. Thanks for the info. Natural hormone balance Didn't find this book real interesting. I've read other books on this topic that was easier to understand. Very informative book This book helped me give information to my doctor to help in my diagnosis. It was very good. | |
