A female doctor who has spent more than two decades studying the relationship between hormones and menopause presents a safe, effective program for using natural and bioidentical hormones to combat hot flashes, insomnia, mood swings, and many other symptoms linked to menopause-related hormone imbalances. Combining traditions of Chinese medicine with the latest Western developments and discoveries, this easy-to-follow ten-step program helps you create a personalized course of treatment using supplements, herbs, natural and bio-identical hormones, and diet to enhance both safety and hormone effectiveness. "During both perimenopause and menopause it is estimated that 800f 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."--Publisher description
