About the Author of The Hormone Survival Guide for Perimenopause   "I am passionate about helping women understand their options and realize that they do not need to live with symptoms of hormonal imbalance. I know that with careful testing and treatment, just about any woman's symptoms can be relieved safely and effectively." Nisha Jackson Ph.D., M.S., W.N.P. Photo by Christopher Briscoe     After the birth of her second baby, nurse practitioner Nisha Jackson experienced significant postpartum depression. "I knew my 'baby blues' were hormonal," she says, "but I wanted more answers on how to treat it other than the usual birth control pills and Prozac. I wanted to feel well and enjoy my baby, but realized that I needed guidance beyond what I was getting." She also realized that most of her patients, at one point or another, had hormone-related problems, including depression, fatigue, weight gain, PMS (premenstrual syndrome), low sex drive, and early menopause symptoms. After intensive independent study, numerous professional workshops and seminars led by prominent hormonal specialists, and working with more than 10,000 women in the area of hormonal imbalances, Dr. Jackson developed a specialty practice focusing on diagnosing, testing, and treating female hormonal imbalances. She remains in contact with women across the country through her public appearances, lectures, symposia, and workshops. Her personal magnetism translates into electricity between her and audiences as she lectures around the nation and hosts her call-in radio show. Quick and authoritative, Dr. Jackson brings life and passion to the medical topics addressed in her writing, lectures, and talk shows.
