The Hormone Solution: Stay Younger Longer with Natural Hormone and Nutrition Therapies

Well written
Very well written for all to understand. The test in the book will allow you to know exactly what your deficient in. I suggest this to my clients looking for ways to ease the aging process for their skin and aching body . I suggest this to anyone looking to educate themselves on health and wellness against aging horribly.

Interesting but Limited Application
I found this book had some interesting ideas and recommendations but was somewhat limited in real world applicability for the average person. The basic problem is the need to work closely with a supportive and competent endocrinologist. There are few options presented that are relevant to a self help approach to improving your hormonal balance. Much of the text is lacking in clear, non contradictory, answers to the numerous health issues that can be caused by hormonal imbalance and the need for a knowledgeable doctor is very apparent. My personal experience with health practitioners is that such physicians are very few and far between. I would love to be able to pursue a quality of life approach to thoroughly checking and correcting any existing hormonal imbalances that may exist in my body but I hold little hope in being able to do so. I would need some substantial financial resources plus the opportunity to locate and work with an unusually supportive physician. This is never going to happen with the resources typically available to the average patient. I currently have Kaiser insurance and, while they might do their best at keeping me alive, quality of life is so low in their priorities that it will never become a viable goal of the treatment process. For anyone with the financial means or an extraordinarily comprehensive health plan, this book might be of value in helping you achieve a very high level of health and longevity. For the rest of us poor souls, the book is mainly about what could be done instead of what can or will be done.

Very pleased with all the complete and correct information in this book.
I have read so many books regarding the whole Hormone issue and this is the best. Has information which I can take to the Doctor and have the test done. Some Doctors do not know much about the Hormones as in depth as this book goes. I have been able to resolve all my issues just from going by what is talked about in this book. I would recommend this book to anyone who is willing to try and help themselves. I am 58 and had a complete Hyst at 45, yes I have been dealing with all the Menopause issues since then. Well, except for some minor aches in the early morning, I feel amazing in every way. I take a Cross Fit class 3 mornings a week and take yoga two. I am a vegan as well, actually I have never felt so good after following the information for HRT in this book.Life is very good now!!!

Fairly nice, but needs more interest.
The fire isn't too realistic in that the logs don't burn down. It's the same as looking at a gas fireplace. It should burn down from a large fire, logs collapse and shift as the burn. More random pops and crackles, logs shifting, would add interest. Then a new log could be added. Noticed the flames are an even yellow and it would be nice to see more glowing red color, perhaps red glowing coals in the fire bed. The red and amber tones would give off a warmer red glow to the room, while the bright yellow gives off additional light.I played the video on our MBR TV. When its time to turn off the news, it would be nice to just have the fire. If the fire started off high and slowly burned down and ended with red burning embers, it would be more compatible with sleeping. A two hour long video, that really portrays a realistic fire that gradually burns down in the evening, would be pretty nice! It just needs a little more interest.

Learning about hormonal deficienties
This book is clearly written. The author makes it possible for everyone to get a clue about which hormones might be missing in his/her body before visiting a health professional. Many health issues are covered with the specific hormonal deficienties. I found it very clarifying and it brought me a step forwards in my search for my lost health. I have read also the books of John R. Lee. The book of Thierry Hertoghe gives not so much information about what one can do self in comparison with the books of Lee on female issues.in the meantime i go to his sister dr.Therese Hertoge for treatment,and i got much better.

Succinct, Credible and Useable
I have little to add to the more detailed reviews other than to confirm that this is an outstanding little book whether you want a general understanding of the function (or lack thereof) of hormones or have a specific problem that might be hormone related. The book includes a general overview of hormones and the importance in both daily life and long term health. The effect of aging, stress, and other factors is also detailed. Checklists allow readers to zero in on their specific issues and appropriate supplementation to provide support for hormone levels is also provided.Unlike many such authors, there wasn't a hard sell for his specific line of supplements and consideration for finances was evident...not everyone can afford regular HGH shots!The author, a medical doctor, has the credentials to give his recommendations authority. This is definitely a worthwhile addition to anyone's health library.

Best book written by a 4th generation endocrinologist!
If you want the very best book about bioidentical hormone replacement, then this is the book to get!! Dr. Hertoghe is one of the world's top experts in hormone replacement and he does a wonderful job of explaining how bioidentical HR improves your immune system, and gets rid of the many complaints of growing older. This book is very well written, easy to understand and he asks the right questions and gives you some really illuminating answers. Since I started bioidentical HR, I no longer feel fatigued, or stiff and achy from my osteoarthritis, my joints don't hurt anymore, my foggy thinking and memory have greatly improved, my hot flashes are gone, my skin looks more youthful, I'm sleeping well again, and I am not moody or depressed! If you are still on synthetic hormones or feel that you are aging rapidly, you really need to read this book ASAP!

A very good book to expalin all about hormones and how they ...
A very good book to expalin all about hormones and how they affect us, and what hormones we need. I feel everyone should read a book like this, most people at some point may have a hormone disturbance, maybe they dont realise it and think there is some other cause. I would never use HRT because of the side effects, I think a lot of people dont know about the safe and natural alternative, hopefully these books will raise their awareness.

Good for in depth study and reference.
Well written book which makes a useful handbook to keep by you for reference. Lots of in depth information which would be difficult to rememeber unless you were studying for a qualification in the medical field - but keep it handy for info and reminders. Recommended.
