Nisha Jackson’s new book, Surviving the Teenage Hormone Takeover—
A Guide for Moms, fills a need for parents who want and need easy-to-understand, take-home information about what they can do this minute to help their daughters. Nisha wrote the book “because every week I see desperate moms and their bewildered daughters in my hormonal wellness specialty practice. Typically, by the time they get to my office they have already seen a family practitioner and/or a pediatrician, but the daughters’ problems have continued or worsened. The mothers’ eyes implore me to solve the physical and emotional puzzles that their daughters have become. The daughters, who just want their problems to vanish, hope for a magic pill. I have to tell them that the medical and emotional problems faced by today’s teenage girls require their full attention. There are no magic pills for the hormone imbalances inherent in obesity and overweight, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), metabolic syndrome, eating disorders, and depression.”
But there is hope and there are solutions. This book offers solid practical guidelines to help girls to balance their hormones and their lives, and every chapter includes a What Moms Can Do Today section.
