Perfect Balance: Dr. Robert Greene's Breakthrough Program for Finding the Lifelong Hormonal Health You Deserve

Hormones, those ""minute quantities of chemicals that run throughout your bloodstream,"" can rule a woman's life. When hormones are perfectly balanced, a woman will feel ""at her peak,"" mentally and physically. When they're out of balance, she may feel moody, lethargic, forgetful, uncomfortable or even sick. Hormone specialist and practicing OB/GYN Greene wrote the foreword for Suzanne Somers's bestselling book on bioidentical hormone replacement, The Sexy Years. He isn't against hormone therapy (if that's what it takes to achieve balance, ""it should definitely be considered""), but he also believes hormonal imbalances can often be corrected by changes in diet, exercise and lifestyle habits or alternative approaches (e.g., mind-centering techniques, vitamins, herbs, etc.). His book is a solid mix of technical explanation and easy-to-follow advice, as he explains the hows and whys of hormones, and then offers copious suggestions for dealing with common problems, like skin aging, hot flashes, dizziness, mood swings, migraines, low libido and poor memory. Charts, sidebars, case studies and questionnaires will help readers get even more out of this helpful guide.
