Bookshelf: Your hormones
Dr. Sara Gottfried is the OG of hormone helpers in our humble opinion. She was the first doctor we found, via her earlier book, The Hormone Cure, that explained what was going on in our body’s and minds in the hormonal hell of peri-menopause. She was a major inspiration in our launch of AfterShock (thanks Dr. G!) One of the things we found a little daunting in The Hormone Cure was the depth and complexity of information – I guess that happens when you’re a Harvard-educated MD with more than 25 years of experience and four NYTimes bestsellers. In Women, Food and Hormones, she distills her experience and prior books down to a more simple format and a four-week plan. We like that. We’ll review the plan in early 2022.
Quote we love:
“Grant me the serenity to accept the hormones I cannot change, the courage to change the ones I can, and the wisdom to tell the difference.”
