If you're a woman who is ready to become the boss of her own body, then let Lacey Dunn help you out. She's written a book all about "how to rebalance your hormones, master your metabolism, and become the boss of your own body."
The Women's Guide to Hormonal Harmony takes you through all the different ways and reasons your hormones could be out of whack and how that affects your health. Now, is everything in this book going to relate to you? Probably not. And this book should not be used as a means of diagnosis. But I do think it enlightens readers enough to take the information to their doctors and start asking the right questions. Or even begin working with a nutritionist to ensure that they're on the right track with diet and exercise, which can help keep hormonal problems at bay.
The book is split up into 10 chapters with a bonus FAQs section at the end. I wish the book had been organized differently to make it easier to jump to the sections that might specifically pertain to a reader's symptoms. There's a questionnaire in chapter two that asks you to circle all the symptoms you experience under different hormone issue categories, but I wish there had been specific chapters for "too much estrogen" or "too little progesterone", etc. There's so much information in this book, and a lot of it is medical terminology, so I think the average reader might have trouble digesting everything without working with a medical professional. Not to mention there were many typos that made reading comprehension difficult.
That said, I did bookmark several pages and plan to talk with my primary care physician more about "too little thyroid hormone" when I go in for my yearly physical.
The Women's Guide to Hormonal Harmony is published by Uplift Nutrition LLC and is available to purchase now. I received a free review copy.
