During both perimenopause and menopause it is estimated that 80% of
all women suffer significant life altering symptoms such as
fatigue, depression, low sex drive, hot flashes, vaginal dryness,
recurrent urinary tract or vaginal infections, insomnia, and more.
Many large-scale studies have been done looking at the safety of
hormones. Unfortunately the largest studies in this country have
looked at the safety and benefits of synthetic hormones given
orally, primarily using horse estrogen (Premarin) and synthetic
progesterone (Provera, or Medroxy progesterone). Medical evidence
continues to mount against artificially replacing hormones (HRT),
which paves the way for this all-natural approach to hormone
rejuvenation.
How To Make Menopause A Healthier, Happier, And Sexier Time Of
Life
"Finally, a medically researched book that gives the big
picture on all of our hormones and how they are interrelated. This
book is a survival manual for those of us who want sound medical
alternatives for keeping healthy."
-Jan Bergstrom, M.Ed., L.M.H.C.
"One book that every woman should read-and give to her
daughter, her mother, and her friends-is The Natural Hormone
Makeover. Dr. Cohan combines a brilliant mind and a tender heart to
give readers a book that can truly make a difference in their
lives."
-Ellen S. Glazer, L.I.C.S.W., author of Experiencing Infertility
and The Long-Awaited Stork
The Natural Hormone Makeover shows you how to correct
perimenopause- and menopause-related hormone imbalances safely by
using natural or bioidentical hormones-many of which are available
at the drugstore or health food store-instead of risky hormone
replacement therapy. You'll learn how to determine which of
your hormones-including estrogen, testosterone, DHEA, HGH,
progesterone, and melatonin-may be unbalanced and create a
personalized program to rebalance and support these hormones with
natural hormone supplements, creams, and hormone-stimulating foods.
This unique anti-aging approach to menopause also includes a list
of the foods that are the most powerful in healing the effects of
hormone imbalance and keeping you young and healthy for decades to
come. This book is a must-read whether you are thirty-five and just
beginning to notice changes or fifty-plus and confused about what
to do.
