Product Description
Book Description
According to Geoffrey Redmond, M.D., a majority of the 42 million American women between the ages of thirty-five and fifty-five suffer from vulnerability to their own hormones. Appearance, emotions -- 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 pain. While the media has emphasized the problems of menopause, Dr. Redmond explains that all too 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 have taken over control of 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.

Finally, some sanity- !!,
By E. Wilson "just a girl" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Hormonally Vulnerable Woman (Hardcover)
Any woman who has arrived at the age where hormones begin to wreck havoc and alter the living of life needs to read this book; first to identify symptoms, and then for treatment plans. It's reader friendly, caring and sensible. Dr. Redmond had treated thousands of women successfully and understands how upsetting and devastating the conditions are. This book is aptly named, for it truly is vulnerability, a vulnerability which often times makes it's appearance at this time of our lives, namely 35-55. Where before our hormones were friendly, now they are hostile- hostile to hair, nerves, skin, emotions and relationships. Hostile to our future. If you want an ABC book, yet not compromise on the seriousness of the topic, have state of the art treatment, with a blend of allopathic and holistic, east and west, natural and chemical, ie. the best of all worlds, you have found the right book. It's blessedly straight forward. Dr. Redmond never seems out to impress any one. He displays no arrogance and has an openness to his ideas and experiences and those of his patients. I believe this book provides answers and peace of mind. I believe Dr. Redmond has taken a complex topic and made simple sense of it.

every woman MUST read this book!!,
By Maryam Shad - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Hormonally Vulnerable Woman (Hardcover)
Having read the book, Hormonally Vulnerable Women, and a number of other lesser, yet respected books, it quickly becomes clear who has the upper hand of insight and education when it comes to hair loss.
I met with Dr. Redmond, an endocrinologist, in NYC for my hair loss. I am glad that I did. He is easy to talk with, caring, concerned, responsive and dedicated to treating female hair loss. I never once felt demeaned, ignored nor rushed. All of this counts to a great extent in todays world of medicine where the disease becomes the patient. Not only was this my direct experience, I followed his plan and within a few short weeks my hair loss subsided. For anyone who is unable to successfully treat their HL, has been to too many doctors to mention, spent countless dollars on topical treatments, tired out loved ones with constant complaining and is tired of the madness - you should buy this book! 23 of 25 people found the following review helpful:

Dr Redmond changed my life!,
By S. Liebgott - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Hormonally Vulnerable Woman (Hardcover)
I went to Dr. Redmond over three years ago with a whole host of female problems that were preventing me from feeling good and enjoying my life. All that has completely changed due to his expert medical care. When I read his book, I knew that I had to buy copies for all my female friends! If you often feel that something is just "not right" with your health...then you owe it to yourself to read this book.
