Safe Hormones, Smart Women (eBook)

We are the first generation that will live most of our lives in the second half of our life. Hormone health is a huge part of keeping this second half of our life even healthier and more energetic than the first. This is a must-read book for women in mid-life and beyond. Science has been substantiating that we had erroneously thrown out hormones after the Women’s Health Initiative.

Now, hormone replacement is not only safe for many women, it substantially reduces the risk of heart disease, diabetes, increases quality of life, and even reduces the risk of breast cancer in certain women. The scare about hormones 10 years ago is being elbowed out of the way to clear a path for women to safely use individualized hormone replacement protocols to stay younger, sexier and healthier.

Berkson has been one of the voices in investigative journalism and research linking balanced hormones to healthier decades of life, along with the critical role of foods and nutrients to keep hormone signaling more balanced and safer. Berkson shows, in a non-intimidating but entertaining manner, how all the hormones function and dysfunction together, and that foods and nutrients critically assist in keeping this hormonal family in sync, rather than at physiologic odds.

• Berkson explains the good and bad estrogen dominance and the role of hormones and foods in keeping the ratio between the two optimal.

• Learn which foods to eat and which to avoid to keep your own hormones safe, not just store-bought replaced hormones.

• Learn what the experts are saying about hormone replacement. Hormones out of balance promote hard to lose weight, high blood sugar and fats, depression, irritability and loss of vital mojo to keep yourself moving forward.

Hormone balance is critical to keep your mind sharp enough to make more memories while you relish your old ones. Don’t miss out on the newest and latest information of hormone health. Be leaner, sexier, more multi-orgasmic, have younger skin and even younger sounding voices, by learning how to eat to keep your hormones safe, and how to work with your doctors to find your best hormone replacement program.
