Bookshelf: Your hormones
OK, this one is a bit of a doozy. It’s c-o-m-p-r-e-h-e-n-s-i-v-e and a fantastic primer on all things hormones for our readers who like to dive in deep. Published in 2014, Dr. Gottfried adds to and modernizes the solutions that women like actress Suzanne Somers (really, Google her + “hormones”) and Dr. Christiane Northrup – who writes the forward to The Hormone Cure – paved years ago. A Harvard Medical School graduate, board-certified gynecologist, certified yoga practitioner and all-around type A super achiever, Dr. Gottfried shares her personal story about hormone imbalance, stress and weight issues and covers the causes and solutions for women searching for solutions. This book works for younger people with hormonal issues, those in peri-menopause, menopause and beyond.
Quote we love:
“The best time to get and stay healthy is before you face annoying and inconvenient problems, such as weight gain and mood swings, and before you develop a serious health condition, such as depression or breast cancer.”
