Product Description

From Amazon.com

In Natural Hormone Balance for Women, Beverly Hills obstetrician-gynecologist Uzzi Reiss makes it clear that he believes in hormone replacement therapy for women, but not the "chemicalized hormonal substitutes" usually prescribed. "I emphasize natural hormones that are precise replicas of your own hormones," he writes, which can increase energy and memory, decrease symptoms of menopause and PMS, improve skin and mood, and enhance sleep, sexuality, and well-being. But neither the widely used hormonal medications, such as estrogens derived from horse urine, nor the "natural" hormonal products derived from soy or yams replicate the hormones produced by a woman's body. Rather, he recommends a natural estrogen formula balanced with natural progesterone, both available through compounding pharmacies (with a doctor's prescription).

Dr. Reiss and talented cowriter Martin Zucker explain why, how, and when to use natural hormones. This is not a snappy, one-size-fits-all program--rather, you, with the involvement of your physician, learn how to analyze your needs and individualize your treatment for your own optimal hormonal balance. Reiss describes the benefits and uses of natural estrogen and progesterone, then discusses other natural hormones that might be helpful: testosterone, human growth hormone, DHEA, melatonin, and pregnenolone. This is a provocative book that's worth sharing with your doctor. --Joan Price --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Review

Jesse Lynn Hanley, M.D. Coauthor of What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Premenopause As a physician who practices wellness-oriented health care, I predict that the book you are about to read will banish your confusion and fear....Uzzi Reiss is my gynecologist, and the gynecologist for many of my patients....This book is a translation of his experience with thousands of patients, and can help grandmothers, mothers, and daughters alike.

Ann Louise Gittleman, M.S., C.N.S.
Author of Before the Change and Super Nutrition for Menopause Natural Hormone Balance For Women is undoubtedly the single best book I have read on the subject to date, and I have read all of them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Concrete and Detailed, Oct 26 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Natural Hormone Balance For Women: Look Younger, Feel Stronger, and Live Life with Exuberance (Hardcover)

I will add my voice of acclaim for this valuable book. I was looking for someone who could tell me what the symptoms were of too little estrogen, too little progesterone, too much progesterone, etc. and could not find that information anywhere on the internet. Lab tests are expensive, often inaccurate, and ultimately irrelevant if you have "normal" values but are still experiencing symptoms. Dr. Reiss explains in wonderful detail what various symptoms mean and what hormones to take, when and how, and where to get them. There are sections for women approaching menopause as well as in the middle of it and all the way through it. He shares a tremendous wealth of experience!

My first impression was that he was perhaps a "fringe" doctor, one of those who think they've solved some common problem but they can't get other doctors to listen to them. But the more I read, the more I became convinced that he really knows what he's talking about and has solid research studies to back up his opinions. And my doctor was the one who recommended his book. I'm sure his approach will become more and more mainstream in the next few years.

I have been recommending this book to all my perimenopausal and menopausal friends and they have been as excited by it as I am.

5.0 out of 5 stars I feel like ME again, but with more knowledge and wisdom, Aug 8 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Natural Hormone Balance For Women: Look Younger, Feel Stronger, and Live Life with Exuberance (Hardcover)

Having suffered from significant hormone imbalance for over ten years, this book helped me logically identify my symptoms, explained hormone production and function in consumer language, and then very specifically told me how to go about implementing and monitoring natural hormone therapy with my doctor. I have referred many of my friends and acquaintances to this book, and thank the lady who recommended it to me. I refer to the book as my "hormone bible". Dr. Reiss' 20+ years of experience using natural hormone therapy in all stages of a woman's life cycle is invaluable, and gave me the confidence to try what he recommends. Adding a chapter to the book for women who have undergone bilateral ova-hysterectomies would be the only thing that would improve this book for me. I thank God for answering my prayers for relief from my hormone imbalance!
