Product Description
From the renowned director of the Hormone Center of New York: complete cutting–edge medical and alternative strategies for living happily with your hormones–including how to enhance your sex life safely with testosterone.
According to Geoffrey Redmond, M.D., a majority of the 42 million American women between the ages of 35 and 55 suffer from vulnerability to their own hormones. Appearance, feelings–and even sex drive–may be affected. Symptoms include thinning hair, persistent acne, mood swings, low energy, loss of pleasure in sex, weight gain, irregular periods, and migraines. While the media has emphasized the problems of menopause, Dr. Redmond explains that many women experience hormonal miseries even in their thirties. Lab tests are often normal because the problem is not the hormones themselves but how a woman’s body reacts to them. Healthy, active women suddenly find that once quiescent hormones are ruling their lives.
Because their problems are often dismissed as trivial, women who are hormonally vulnerable are frequently thwarted in their quest for help. Too often they are brushed off with remarks such as, “Your tests are normal; there’s nothing wrong with you.” This is tragic because, as Dr. Redmond demonstrates, hormonal balance can nearly always be restored with the treatments he details, which include individualized use of prescription medications, herbal supplements, lifestyle changes, and even spiritual practices.
Many women have heard that testosterone can help sex drive, but most have not been warned about the damage that careless testosterone therapy can cause on skin and hair. In this book, Dr. Redmond, an internationally recognized authority on testosterone in women, explains the only safe ways to use testosterone.
With informative sidebars, quizzes, and personal stories of women who have overcome hormone vulnerability, this helpful book will empower you to find treatments for your hormone problems that are tailored to fit your own body, biochemistry, symptoms, and lifestyle.

As an electrologist I have been guiding women toward the hormonal solutions to their excessive hair growth (mostly facial) and distressing head hair loss, for over 26 years. Until Dr. Redmond’s book, it was very difficult to find information by a REAL expert. This book should be read from front page to last page for a full understanding of who Dr. Redmond is, why he is qualified to help, and how to go about solving your specific problem. Any reviewer that says you cannot find your solution with the help of this book is simply wrong–they must not have actually read it! I offer this book to every client that comes through my door with a potential hormone problem (which is almost every client). I have read just about every hormone book that has been published (my clients bring them in). I have attended many seminars-heard many speakers.Some are ok, but none as thorough and fact/science based as Dr. Redmond. Read this book, and go to your physician to get the help you need and deserve!

Here are your answers ladies. Get the book, most female problems, weight gain, loss, hair loss, adult acne, pre, peri, post- menapause, anything to do with period changes and more. He also sees patients in New York for $700 first visit, then will work with you over phone. For a last resort it is worth it, plus you can visit New York.

I highly recommend this book for any woman who has suffered any hormonal problems whether they are in menopause or not. It helped me TREMENDOUSLY with hair loss, and my hair is growing again!! Furthermore, I gave this book to my sister who suffers from migraines and it has helped her too. I have recommended this book to at least 10 women who all loved it.
I will keep this book for the rest of my life. It is a fantastic reference tool.

I did not find this book helpful at all. I went to the sections that pertained to my issues and found nothing. I also did not care for the prayer section with the cover all your bases list of who you could pray too. What’s up with that?!
