Book
The power of hormones: break free from fear and misinformation about hormones and harness them for a healthier, happier life
On the shelf? Just pop in.
For decades, three vital hormones in the female body, progesterone, estrogen and testosterone, have been misunderstood, dismissed and feared. Their critical roles in improving function of women's brains, bones, hearts and long-term health have been ignored. Confusion between natural, body identical hormones and synthetic, chemically altered 'hormones' has fuelled fear, distorted medical guidelines and shaped media narratives. The result? Countless women struggling with hormone imbalances left untreated, misdiagnosed or prescribed antidepressants and other medications instead of being prescribed the hormones their bodies are lacking. In this bold, evidence-based book, leading doctor and women's hormone specialist Dr Louise Newson exposes the uncomfortable truth behind medicine's blindness, ignorance and complacency, revealing how women's suffering has been normalised for generations.
