Sara Gottfried refuses to accept the traditional medical thinking that
feeling cranky, asexual, tapped out, and sleep-deprived is just part of
being female and aging, and that prescription medication will fix all
problems. In The Hormone Cure, she combines natural therapies with
rigorous scientific testing to help women feel fully alive, especially
in the years prior to menopause. Using an informative questionnaire to
identify common symptoms of hormonal imbalance such as insomnia, low
sex drive, lack of energy, moodiness, hot flashes, and more; detailing
causes; and offering solutions in non-judgmental and thoughtful
language, Dr. Gottfried provides a novel plan based on solid scientific
research. She believes you don't find a cure at the bottom of a pill
bottle.
