Are you struggling with hormonal imbalances and don't know where to turn? The Hormone Cure by Sara Gottfried is a comprehensive guide to understanding your hormones and how to optimize them for better health and wellness. Dr. Gottfried is a renowned hormone expert and functional medicine physician, with over 20 years of experience helping women improve their hormonal health.
The book is divided into three parts: understanding your hormones, the Gottfried Protocol, and living the hormone cure. Part one provides an overview of hormones and their role in the body, including common hormone imbalances and their symptoms. Part two is the meat of the book, outlining Dr. Gottfried's protocol for balancing hormones through diet, supplements, exercise, stress reduction, and sleep. Part three offers practical tips and advice for living the hormone cure and maintaining hormonal balance long-term.
One of the main takeaways from The Hormone Cure is that hormonal imbalances are not solely a matter of genetics or bad luck. Rather, they are often the result of environmental and lifestyle factors, such as stress, poor diet, lack of exercise, and exposure to toxins. By making targeted lifestyle changes, you can optimize your hormones and improve your overall health and wellness.
The Gottfried Protocol, which is the centerpiece of the book, is a comprehensive approach to hormone balancing that takes into account each individual's unique hormonal profile. It involves a combination of dietary changes, targeted supplements, stress reduction techniques, and exercise protocols, all designed to support optimal hormonal function. The Protocol is not a one-size-fits-all approach, but rather a personalized plan tailored to your specific needs and goals.
The book also offers a wealth of practical advice and resources for implementing the Gottfried Protocol in your daily life. For example, there are detailed meal plans and recipes, as well as tips for managing stress and improving sleep quality. The book also includes a variety of diagnostic tools and self-assessments, such as the Hormone Quiz, which can help you identify potential hormonal imbalances.
One of the most valuable aspects of the book is Dr. Gottfried's emphasis on the importance of self-care and self-awareness. She encourages readers to take an active role in their own health and to become advocates for their own hormonal well-being. This empowering message is a refreshing departure from the typical medical model, which often relies on prescription drugs to treat symptoms rather than addressing the root cause of the problem.
It is an essential resource for anyone struggling with hormonal imbalances or interested in optimizing their hormonal health. Dr. Gottfried's comprehensive approach to hormone balancing, combined with her empowering message of self-care and self-awareness, make this book a must-read for anyone looking to take charge of their hormonal health.

A short book but with a good book for fans of both authors, but also many insights into free speech, creativity and the importance of libraries. Some words to take to heart, some words to live by, some words to free oneself (more) in the pursuit of artistic endeavours. Definitely a good thing to read. You don't know it yet, but chances are you need this book.

All tips and instructions in the book are clearly explained and backed up with intelligent logic of why things should be done a certain way. Before reading this book, I had no idea how wrong my profile was, and now equipped with more knowledge and the benefit of insight, I can now understand why my profile would never work for attracting potential clients.

I should have started reading much earlier. A really good book.
