Sadly I bought this book 4 years ago and just read it. 🤦🏽‍♀️ I probably needed it 8-10 years ago. In Natural Hotmone Balance for Women, Uzzi Reiss, M.D./O.B.-GYN., provides his expertise from decades of clinical practice and observation of thousands of women. He knows what he is talking about and writes in an easy to understand style, like you are sitting across from him. I learned so much about the benefits of hormones, and the results of deficiencies. I am armed to take next steps and you will be too with this foundational read. The book was published in 2001 and we know even more now about the importance of hormones for optimal health, not just reproductive health. Highly recommend women of an age read up on this topic. Each woman has to make decisions based on many factors. My hope is that we will open up dialogue with our health providers and each other.
