Decode the subtle signals of hormones with this foundational book on hormonal health and hormone balance from expert endocrinologist and leading researcher in the field.

Hormones rule our lives, shaping our metabolic health and stress hormon responses every day. From conception, to birth, to our last breath, hormones and the endocrine system control the delicate processes that keep our bodies in balance. However, when this careful stasis is disturbed, our hormones can wreak havoc on our health contributing to hormonal imbalance and chronic disease.

Max Nieuwdorp, MD, PhD, knows exactly what signals your hormones are sending you and how they impact how you look, feel, and behave, from puberty and fertility to menopause and andropause. In this foundational guide to hormonal health, he breaks down how hormones impact every system in the body, from brain to gut microbiome and digestive health, empowering you with the knowledge you need to get to the root of chronic health problems linked to metabolism and insulin resistance and set yourself up long lasting, sustainable wellness.

Inspired by Dr. Nieuwdorp’s day-to-day interaction with his patients, The Power of Hormones describes hormonal health in a detailed and accessible style, helping you clue in to symptoms of hormonal imbalance such as persistent fatigue and weight gain. His unique approach advocates for considering the far-reaching roles played by hormones throughout the body and is a go-to guide for understanding how they influence our health and wellness, our lives, and who we are.
