We
are pleased to announce that
The
Hormone Survival Guide for Perimenopause:
Balance Your Hormones Naturally
by Nisha Jackson, Ph.D.
has
been awarded the
Bill Fisher Award for Best First
Book by a New Publisher (nonfiction)
at
the Benjamin
Franklin Awards sponsored by the Independent Book Publishers
Association, to honor excellence in independent publishing.
 This
essential handbook addresses the significant changes in mood, weight,
sex drive, and general well-being that women between the ages of 35 and
50 experience during perimenopause -- the years leading up to
menopause. Women in the premenopause years commonly suffer from such
symptoms as acne, bloating, depression, fatigue, insomnia, weight gain,
joint pain, facial hair, food cravings, fuzzy thinking, and loss of sex
drive. Unbalanced hormones are most often to blame. Most women endure
these symptoms and believe doctors who tell them, "It's all in your
head" or "It's normal for your age." This book shows you how to take
back control.
What makes
Jackson's book so important is its emphasis on natural, bioidentical
hormones, which exactly match the molecular structure of the body's
own. The book helps women educate themselves about the differences
between synthetic and natural hormones and make informed choices.
Jackson stresses, however, that using any type of drug, including
natural hormones, is not the first course of action.
Many
perimenopausal symptoms can be relieved through a combination of
lifestyle modifications, stress reduction, and use of supplements, and
her book offers helpful guidelines for the busy woman to incorporate
such lifestyle changes.
So how does a
woman know if her hormones, particularly estrogen, progesterone, and
testosterone, are in balance? Jackson recommends measuring their levels
with reliable lab tests so that accurate dosing and treatment decisions
can relieve symptoms and create hormonal balance.
Jackson's own
medical practice centers on individual hormone testing and treatment
using natural hormones. She has helped thousands of women find relief
and avoid unnecessary or unsafe medications that don't provide
long-term solutions to hormone imbalances.
