The perimenopause solution : take control of your hormones before they take control of you / by Harper, Shahzadi,author.; Bardwell, Emma,author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 290-300) and index.The perimenopause (the time leading up to the menopause) is often misunderstood. For some women, it lasts a few months; for others it consumes the best part of a decade. This transitional period can be a time of emotional turmoil, shifting priorities and physical changes from hot flushes, insomnia, low mood and anxiety, to itchy skin, thinning hair, weight gain and loss of libido to name just a few! Millions of women in their thirties and forties go through this without even realising they are perimenopausal. It's time they take back control. In The Perimenopause Solution, Dr Shahzadi Harper, a medical doctor specialising in women's health and Emma Bardwell, a registered nutritionist, provide a blueprint to help women find a new balance in this important phase of their lives, so they can be prepared, not scared. Akin to getting two expert consultations in one, this holistic and accessible guide combines practical, no-nonsense information on the physical and mental changes to expect, with powerful advice on managing symptoms and easy recipes, as what you eat during the perimenopause can dramatically affect your experience of it.

The magic of melatonin : how this amazing hormone will help you sleep, reduce pain, relieve anxiety, slow aging, and much more / by Fauteck, Jan-Dirk,author.; Elder, Andrea,contributor.; translation of:Fauteck, Jan-Dirk.Melatonin.English.;
Includes bibliographical references."Everything you need to know about the sleep-regulating hormone melatonin! Dr. Fauteck addresses the impact of proper supplemental melatonin and various studies and research done on the topic. Melatonin has been widely used to correct problems of sleep disorders, and while this book looks into that research further and breaks down the impact of melatonin and sleep, it also addresses research that addresses melatonin use for its ability to regulate the circadian clock in general and impact other areas of health such oxidative stress, neuropsychiatric disorders, headaches, chronic pain, digestion, diabetes, fertility, pregnancy, cancer, and many age-related diseases. In this book, Dr. Fauteck summarizes critical information related to the necessity of maintaining regular biological rhythms and describes the pathological consequences of circadian rhythm disturbances. He provides a clear description of how melatonin is produced and secreted, how the prevailing artificially imposed light/dark cycle can disturb its rhythm, and how this translates into other potential pathologies."--Publisher's description.

The period brain : the new science of why we PMS and how to fix it : a manifesto for women / by Hill, Sarah E.,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Do you feel like you're riding a premenstrual roller coaster every month that leaves you feeling hungry, tired, angry, sad, and unsexy? Leading researcher and women's hormone expert Dr. Sarah E. Hill explains why we feel so universally icky before our periods -- and what to do about it. The problem isn't that women are hormonal; the problem is that the second half of the menstrual cycle -- the luteal phase, when the hormone progesterone rises and estrogen decreases -- has been systematically ignored by science and medicine. Progesterone is at the heart of every feeling we associate with PMS: it affects our daily sleep and calorie needs (hello, cravings!); whom we're attracted to; our sex drive; and -- as every woman can attest -- our mood. Because the luteal phase is understudied, every bit of health, diet, and relationship advice you've followed is based on that first, estrogen-glow half of the month or, worse, was designed for men. The rules that work for us in the first two weeks of the cycle don't always fit in the second, causing most of us to spend half the month following advice that is completely at odds with the way our bodies work at this time. It's no wonder we feel awful! The Period Brain is a science-tested roadmap to understanding PMS and PMDD. It's time we demand a better month, every month -- and usher in a new era in women's health. Period.

The adrenal thyroid revolution : a proven 4-week program to rescue your metabolism, hormones, mind & mood / by Romm, Aviva Jill,author.;
"A Yale-trained, board-certified family physician with a specialty in women's health and obstetrics delivers a proven 28-day program to heal the overwhelmed, overloaded systems, and prevent and reverse the myriad of symptoms affecting the vast majority of women today. Weight gain, fatigue, brain fog, hormonal imbalances, and autoimmune conditions--for years, health practitioners have commonly viewed each as individual health problems resulting from a patient's genetic bad luck, poor lifestyle choices, or lack of willpower. Patients, too, have turned to different doctors to alleviate their specific symptoms: an endocrinologist for a thyroid problem; a gynecologist for hormonal issues; an internist for weight, diabetes, and high blood pressure; a rheumatologist for joint problems, and even to therapists or psychologists. While these ailments may seem unrelated, Dr. Aviva Romm contends that they are intrinsically connected by what she calls Survival Overdrive Syndrome, a condition that occurs when the body becomes overloaded. SOS can result from childhood survival patterns or adult life stressors that are compounded by foods we eat, toxins in our environment, viral infections, lack of sleep, disrupted gut microflora, and even prescribed medications. Two of the systems most affected are the adrenal system and the thyroid, which control mood, hormones, inflammation, immunity, energy, weight, will power, blood sugar balance, cholesterol, sleep, and a host of other bodily functions. When these systems become overwhelmed they lead to symptoms that can develop into full blown illnesses, including diabetes, hypertension, osteoporosis, and heart disease--all of which have medically provable origins in SOS. The Adrenal Thyroid Revolution explains SOS, how it impacts our bodies and can lead to illness, and most importantly, offers a drug-free cure developed through Dr. Romm's research and clinical work with tens of thousands of patients. In as little as two weeks, you can lose excess weight, discover increased energy, improve sleep, and feel better. With The Adrenal Thyroid Revolution, you can rescue your metabolism, hormones, mind and mood--and achieve long-lasting health"--
