Product Description
From the renowned director of the Hormone Center of New York: complete cutting–edge medical and alternative strategies for living happily with your hormones–including how to enhance your sex life safely with testosterone.
According to Geoffrey Redmond, M.D., a majority of the 42 million American women between the ages of 35 and 55 suffer from vulnerability to their own hormones. Appearance, feelings–and even sex drive–may be affected. Symptoms include thinning hair, persistent acne, mood swings, low energy, loss of pleasure in sex, weight gain, irregular periods, and migraines. While the media has emphasized the problems of menopause, Dr. Redmond explains that many women experience hormonal miseries even in their thirties. Lab tests are often normal because the problem is not the hormones themselves but how a woman's body reacts to them. Healthy, active women suddenly find that once quiescent hormones are ruling their lives.
Because their problems are often dismissed as trivial, women who are hormonally vulnerable are frequently thwarted in their quest for help. Too often they are brushed off with remarks such as, "Your tests are normal; there's nothing wrong with you." This is tragic because, as Dr. Redmond demonstrates, hormonal balance can nearly always be restored with the treatments he details, which include individualized use of prescription medications, herbal supplements, lifestyle changes, and even spiritual practices.
Many women have heard that testosterone can help sex drive, but most have not been warned about the damage that careless testosterone therapy can cause on skin and hair. In this book, Dr. Redmond, an internationally recognized authority on testosterone in women, explains the only safe ways to use testosterone.
With informative sidebars, quizzes, and personal stories of women who have overcome hormone vulnerability, this helpful book will empower you to find treatments for your hormone problems that are tailored to fit your own body, biochemistry, symptoms, and lifestyle.

Recharging Your Sex Drive . . . and More! (Paperback) Have not finished the book, but have ready about half. The parts that I have read pertain to my problem and some other issues friends are having. This is the 4th book I have bought that was about hair loss. This book covers more that hair loss. There are so many different reasons women loose their hair, and ways to correct at lease in part if not fully regain the hair. Many reasons have the same symptoms, which makes it difficult. However, this means also that there are more way to get back some if not all your hair. I would recommend this book and The Bald Truth by Spencer Kobren (even before The Truth about women's hair loss by Kobren). If you are considering a hair transplant please read this first. There are other subjects that may come in handy for your friends and family too. 5 of 6 people found the following review helpful:  waste of money, This review is from: It's Your Hormones: The Women's Complete Guide to Soothing PMS, Clearing Acne, Regrowing Hair, Healing PCOS, Feeling Good on the Pill, Enjoying a Safe ... Recharging Your Sex Drive . . . and More! (Paperback) This book had very little information in it. Dr. Redmond is supposed to be knowledgeable about hormones yet mentions little about using bio-identical hormones and doesn't seem to understand the function of progesterone. Don't waste your money or time on this one. 3 of 4 people found the following review helpful:  nothing new here, This review is from: It's Your Hormones: The Women's Complete Guide to Soothing PMS, Clearing Acne, Regrowing Hair, Healing PCOS, Feeling Good on the Pill, Enjoying a Safe ... Recharging Your Sex Drive . . . and More! (Paperback) This is a long read with not much new information. If you have heard of spironolactone before and you have a good gynoecologist that understands the side effects of each pill, then this book will not be of much help to you. In addition, if you are post menopausal, the information for you is very limited in this book. Basically, Dr. Redmond (accurately) states that the patch is better than the pill when using birth control or HRT due to a more even delivery of the medication. That is hardly news in this day and age. Also, not sure why the spirituality section is included. It can be offensive to people who prefer to make thier own decisions in this area. |
