Publisher's summary

The Harvard-educated physician and New York Times best-selling author of The Hormone Cure shows you how to grow new receptors for your seven metabolic hormones, making you lose weight and feel great fast!

When it comes to weight loss, most people don't think about hormones. But when you develop resistance to your seven major metabolic hormones--cortisol, thyroid, testosterone, growth hormone, leptin, insulin, and estrogen--your body adjusts by increasingly raising your hormone levels and ultimately slowing down your metabolism. And a slower metabolism leads to weight gain and difficulty losing weight. The solution, Dr. Sara Gottfried contends, is to reset the efficiency of your hormones by repairing and growing new hormone receptors.

Based on leading scientific research, The Hormone Reset Diet is her proven weight-loss and energy program to reverse hormone resistance in just three weeks. It will help you:

• Boost your metabolism and calorie burning by growing new and fresh thyroid receptors
• Increase your weight loss by rebalancing estrogen and progesterone receptors
• Reverse your aging by resetting glucocorticoid receptors (for better processing of cortisol)

For the last 20 years, this Harvard-MIT educated physician has helped thousands of women address the root hormonal causes of what bothers them most: excess weight, lack of energy, aging, and illness. Going beyond her best-selling The Hormone Cure, this program is the next generation of her deep understanding of hormonal optimization for rapid weight loss.

More of what we should, less of what we shouldn't.

I found the book to be very focused on what we should not do, and did not give enough guidance about what we should do and especially what we should eat. The biggest challenge for me in overhauling my diet and helping my hormones is knowing what to plan for each individual meal. Those may be in the enhancements, but they were not in the audio.

Diet

It is a good starter diet but can not be maintained for proper long term eating because it is very expensive to buy that many vegetables every week. I did lose 8 pounds. I felt very tired not getting my caffeine fix everyday so I went back to drinking at least one cup daily.

Don't buy on audible

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

There are more resources, eg footnotes and an exercise plan you can't get with the accompanying PDF

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

A diet book. Ending. I lost weight

Fantastic Book

Loved this book it was narrated very well and I enjoyed the content. I am going to order it in paperback so that I can highlight some of the things she recommended. Chalked full of information.

Great information, all in one book. Thank you Dr. Sara!

Just the right blend of information, science and success stories. Very pleased with this book!

IT WORKS!! Finally the answers I needed

Would you consider the audio edition of The Hormone Reset Diet to be better than the print version?

I Don't have the print

What other book might you compare The Hormone Reset Diet to and why?

The Female CODE, was useless and confusing. The Hormone Reset Diet was exactly what I needed to know!

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes!

Any additional comments?

This book has all the answers I was looking for! Amazing for weight loss! The only thing that worked on me!AMAZING

COMPLETELY RECOMMEND

Not much different from other diets

Useful information. The narrator is excellent. Very soothing voice. Some of the advice is a little esoteric for me. Essentially the same advice as other nutritional books in a different format: restricted carbohydrates, eat more fiber, less meet, lean protein etc

Really monotonous speaker makes it difficult to listen

I prefer more personable and engaging audible books, where it doesn’t sound like Siri is talking to me. The overall content was definitely geared towards average informed individuals and did not particularly site evidence or support the statements given in the approach. While I personally already follow most of the advice given for hormonal balance, I was left wanting more specific information and guidance related to how to adjust diet and continuing this lifestyle change once balanced.
Overall not a book I would recommend, boring and not as detailed or scientific as I wanted it to be.

The Hormone Reset Diet is very comprehensive

This is a great book for anyone who is experiencing hormone related health concerns. Dr. Sara is very well researched and offers a solution to what you will not find in conventional medicine. I only wish she would have narrated
the book.

Good and thorough information

As far as a book goes I feel the information is very helpful and beneficial. However for an audible it is difficult to follow. There are a lot of times when rambling formulas about how to calculate BMI etc are given and the narrator does a poor job. Also there are too many times when the author refers you to the reference guide which obviously you cannot do on an audio.
