Hormone Balance by Carolyn Dean, M.D., N.D.

Dr. Dean explains how important exercise is for menopause management and how she discovered T-Tapp from her friend, Margaret Merrifield, M.D., who recommends her patients to do T-Tapp to build muscle and control blood sugar. Dr. Dean shares her very positive experience on pages 252 - 253.

Hormone Balance provides prescriptive, easy-to-read information that helps women overcome the hormonal rollercoaster that often leads to mood swings, PMS, weight gain, and yeast overgrowth. This comprehensive work provides mostly alternative solutions for women to balance hormones and achieve greater overall health for issues such as:

• Perimenopause - causes and patterns, including the estrogen dominance theory, the importance of the thyroid and adrenals, and the effects of the environment
• Menopause - the pros and cons of HRT and natural, bioidentical HRT hormones
• Bone density loss - why boomers are losing bone and how to protect against it, exposing the "calcium as the only solution to osteoporosis" myth and advising supplemental magnesium
• Monthly challenges-bloating, cramping, extreme mood shifts
• Hormonal diet-smart tips for weight balance and foods and supplements to support the liver, intestines, and adrenals
