The Natural Hormone Makeover:
10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow
by Phuli Cohan (Hardcover - Jan 14, 2008)

Book Description provided by the Publisher (Wiley):

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.


From the Inside Flap:

"After having experienced various difficult perimenopausal and menopausal symptoms for years, I was helped greatly by Dr. Phuli Cohan's unique approach to treatment, which integrates elements of her training in Western, Chinese, and Ayurvedic medicines."
­Nina Simonds, author of A Spoonful of Ginger and Spices of Life

Perimenopause, the five to fifteen years before menopause, is fraught with symptoms that are often ignored, or worse, tolerated. You can't avoid perimenopause or menopause, but you can avoid the suffering, loss of energy, and emotional ups and downs that accompany them. You can also retain your skin and muscle tone, feel as vigorous and healthy as ever, and enjoy an active sex life. And you don't have to risk your long-term health to do it.

In The Natural Hormone Makeover, a female doctor who has spent more than two decades studying the relationship between hormones and menopause presents a safe and effective program for using natural and bioidentical hormones to combat hot flashes, insomnia, mood swings, fatigue, breast pain, hair loss, low sex drive, and many other symptoms linked to menopause-related hormone imbalances.

This easy-to-follow ten-step treatment program educates and empowers you to make the best choices to improve your symptoms and feel healthier, happier, and sexier. Combining traditions of Chinese medicine with the latest Western developments and discoveries, this regimen 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.

You'll learn everything you need to know about:

-- The seven different forms of estrogen and how their "personalities" affect you

-- The importance of the adrenal gland in improving symptoms and slowing the aging process
