The Power of Hormones

Hormones. We blame them for everything from our bad mood to a fluctuation in weight, with modern pharmaceutical companies painting them as the scapegoat for a huge amount of issues. But what if that wasn't the full picture? What if, in fact, hormones held the key to our good health?

When properly balanced, hormones harness the most incredible power. The endocrine system (which controls our hormonal functions) is crucial to our health . Without it, we simply would not be able to function. Hormones govern our growth and development, metabolism, emotions, sexual and reproductive function, sleep and blood pressure. Hormones help us fall in love, bond with offspring, power us to the finish line and make us feel happy, sad, furious and everything in between.

We can't live without them: so why are we taught to fear them?

In this radical, empowering book, leading expert Dr Louise Newsom will show you how to best understand your own hormones and why this knowledge has been kept from us for so long. She will teach you how they interact in your body and what you need to know to balance and embrace your hormones for a happier, healthier and longer life.
