Thumbs up GOOD BOOK--> "Hormonal Balance: Understanding Hormones, Weight, & Your Metabolism"

It's not often that I RAVE about a book, but Hormonal Balance: Understanding Hormones, Weight, & Your Metabolism by endocrinologist, Scott Isaacs is a WINNER!

He regularly treats PCOS'ers and references PCOS heavily in the book. In my opinion, however, the best part of the book is the clear description of the various blood/hormone tests we have to take. When to have them, what they mean, etc.

Dr. Isaacs also discusses nutritional intervention at length, too.

I just got it Friday, and have read it cover to cover. Despite being FULL of information, it's a VERY easy read. Here is the Amazon.com description:

Book Description
Hormonal Balance profiles each hormone system in clear terms, discussing what can go wrong and how imbalances can affect weight and even perpetuate obesity. By explaining how to reverse symptoms of hormonal imbalance through diet changes and other remedies, readers learn to recognize and respond to hormone imbalances in everything from menstrual cycles to diabetes.

Here are the chapters:

1) Hormones & Metabolism
2) Food & Insulin
3) Insulin Resistance
4) Androgens
5) Androgen Disorders in Women
6) Women's Hormones
7) Thyroid Hormone
8) Cortisol, Stress, and the Andrenal Gland
9) Growth Hormone
10) Hunger Hormones and the Future of Weight Loss
11) Lose Weight Now

Amazon.com has some used copies for sale right now - again, I HIGHLY recommend it!

Hormonal Balance: Understanding Hormones, Weight, & Your Metabolism
