Hormone imbalance is widespread. Symptoms such as: lack of energy, weight gain, mood swings, loss of sex life, sleep disturbances, fuzzy thinking and forgetfulness, among others.
After being diagnosed with a spinal cord tumor in 1997, she endured a painful spinal cord surgery; learned how to walk again and faced the reality of living with chronic pain. Luckily, the tumor was benign. But, with residual pain from the surgery and the reality that hospitals frown upon doctors performing surgery under the influence of medication, Stanton was forced to research other pain management options.
As a physician trained in conventional Western medicine, she hadn’t been taught about much about non-traditional practices except that, “there was not a lot of data to support that they worked as viable therapies,” and that they might be “helpful, but not curative.” Her training taught her to trust surgery and medications.
However, as she began to experience benefits from less conventional types of treatments (acupuncture, massage and osteopathy, etc.), Stanton realized that her view of medicine was narrow. She also learned the need for good nutrition to support these therapies.
In this book, Stanton, one of the nation’s foremost anti-aging physicians, shares useful lifestyle change and treatment options to restore hormone balance and achieve overall health and wellness. Each chapter details the relationship between diet, stress, environmental toxins, exercise, and supplements and our bodies’ hormones.
Dr. Stanton, who specializes in hormone balance and its effects on menopausal symptoms, weight gain, PMS, energy levels and stress is also able to transfer her valuable expertise to her male patients and their hormonal issues, including low testosterone, adrenal fatigue and low libido.
