"The latest information about estrogen, the body's enlivening powerhouse hormone. The Good News About Estrogen clarifies what happens in women's bodies, what is "normal" and what is not. It lets readers know exactly what's at stake when women lose estrogen at any age-whether it's from chemicals in food and cosmetic products, a side effect of oral contraception, or part of the natural aging process-through patient anecdotes and scientific information. Uzzi Reiss, M.D. will help readers make the essential lifestyle changes to correct their hormonal problems, which will in turn lead to weight loss, increased energy, better sleeping habits, reduction of symptoms of late-onset type II diabetes, increased metabolism, improved and consistent moods, improved mental clarity, improved bone integrity and muscular tone, improved skin and hair strength and texture, restored vaginal response, resolved painful sex, restored libido, as well as protection against both breast cancer and cardiovascular disease. With bioidentical hormone replacement therapy recommendations, an eating plan that supports hormonal balance and disease prevention, a list of supplements, and a simple program for strengthening and toning to record your information as you go, The Good News About Estrogen is the complete, up-to-date, and accessible guide to hormonal health"-- - Baker & Taylor
Blends patient anecdotes and scientific information in a guide to the role of estrogen in womenâs health that identifies what is and is not normal while explaining what happens through exposures to estrogens in food, cosmetics and contraceptives. - McMillan Palgrave
The latest information about estrogen, the body's enlivening powerhouse hormone.
Why is estrogen crucialâand so misunderstood? How do I know if my estrogen level is ânormalâ? What is the best treatment for a hormonal imbalance? How does estrogen impact my reproductive cycle? Is hormone replacement therapy right for me? Is it only useful at menopause? How can I be my best, healthiest self now and in the future?
Understanding estrogenâits function and interplay with all your other hormones and body systemsâis key to a healthy, vibrant life. But far too many women remain unaware of the benefits of estrogen, and how it can be supplemented in natural, bioidentical form.
This book, written by an expert in the field of OB-GYN and integrative medicine, offers an authoritative yet accessible approach to hormonal health. In The Good News About Estrogen, Dr. Uzzi Reiss draws upon the most up-to-date scientific research, as well as womenâs stories from his decades of practice, to explain:
- How hormonesâand your levels of estrogenâchange over time, and what you can do to achieve balance naturally or with hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
- The good news about estrogenâhow it can enhance energy, sexuality, and memory; alleviate premenstrual syndrome (PMS) or the side effects of menopause; help fight weight gain, anxiety, depression, and more.
- Bioidentical hormonesâwhy they are safe and crucial to your well-being at any age or stage, and how to choose which treatment plan is right for you.
- How your everyday habitsâwhat you eat, drink, wear, and breatheâcan affect hormonal health, and which small lifestyle changes can make a big difference.
- Nutrition and exerciseâlearn how each works hand-in-hand with hormones and can help you to achieve maximum physical and emotional fitness, promote bone health, prevent cardiovascular disease, and boost brain power.
