It's Probably Your Hormones by Dr Mary Ryan offers an insightful exploration into the often overlooked hormonal causes behind common symptoms such as unexplained weight gain, loss of libido, and new-onset acne. Drawing on her expertise as a consultant endocrinologist, Dr Ryan emphasises the importance of addressing hormonal health throughout a woman's life, not just at menopause.

Unexplained weight gain? Loss of libido? New-onset acne? These are just some of the possible signs that something is not right with your hormones.

Women often start paying attention to their hormones when they approach menopause, but good hormone health is important throughout our lives. In It's Probably Your Hormones, Dr Mary Ryan, a consultant endocrinologist, explains how, by tackling problems when they arise, we can take control and improve our well-being.

The unfortunate truth is that many women struggle to have their health taken seriously and fail to get the support needed to manage debilitating symptoms. In this revelatory and timely book, Dr Mary Ryan shows us how to recognise issues and balance our hormones with various treatment options, including HRT, diet, sleep and exercise, so that we can live happy, healthy and balanced lives at any age.
