Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

For decades, three vital hormones in the female body, progesterone, estrogen and
testosterone, have been misunderstood, dismissed and feared. Their critical roles in
improving function of women's brains, bones, hearts and long-term health have been
ignored.


Confusion between natural, body identical hormones and synthetic, chemically altered
'hormones' has fuelled fear, distorted medical guidelines and shaped media narratives.
The result? Countless women struggling with hormone imbalances left untreated,
misdiagnosed or prescribed antidepressants and other medications instead of being
prescribed the hormones their bodies are lacking.


In this bold, evidence-based book, leading doctor and women's hormone specialist Dr
Louise Newson exposes the uncomfortable truth behind medicine's blindness, ignorance
and complacency, revealing how women's suffering has been normalised for generations.
Drawing on powerful medical history, science and decades of clinical experience, she
dismantles myths around menopause, HRT and so-called 'sex hormones', and gives
women the knowledge that has been withheld for too long.


The Power of Hormones exposes why so many people have been let down and continue to
be failed by outdated medicine. Passionate, empowering and refreshingly honest, the
book shows how understanding and restoring hormonal balance can transform quality of
life as well as future health.
