Book SynopsisA handbook for how we can use the power of our hormones to master any stage of life. Joint pain, weight gain, migraines, acne, sleepless nights, loss of libido — all of these and more can be caused by hormone imbalances. Our health is impacted by our hormones all the way through our lives. So why do we often assume they’re mainly ‘a menopause thing’, and wait until hot flushes arrive before we take them seriously? The truth is that many women find that their hormone-related symptoms aren’t acknowledged, despite the impact they can have, years before menopause hits, on almost every aspect of their lives. With advances in medical science, however, effective new treatment options are available, including modern hormone replacement therapy (HRT), diet, and exercise. So why don’t more of us know that help is at hand? Why are we still being told that we have to put up with these conditions? Our Hormones, Our Health is written by two doctors who draw on their experience as practitioners, and as women. With the aid of pioneering research from epigenetics, stress medicine, nutritional medicine, and modern HRT, they show us how women can live with health and happiness — no matter what their age.Trade Review‘A life-changing new book.’ * Daily Mail *

Book SynopsisWith contributions by international experts in academia, chemical manufacturing, government research laboratories, regulatory agencies, and private consulting, this guide explores the potentially damaging influence of environmental agents on the endocrine system. It examines endocrine toxicology's increased importance in environmental safety issues due to legislative directives established over the past ten years.Covering all principal areas of EPA concern, Endocrine Toxicology, Third Edition provides: putative endocrine disruptors and mechanisms of endocrine toxicity the history and status of the regulatory process mechanisms of toxic effects in various hormonal systems comparisons of the endocrine responses in humans, livestock, and wildlife testing methods in mammalian, fish, avian, and amphibian models valuable insight into the approaches of various personnel in the field, iTrade Review "This is an excellent review of the effects of toxic substances on endocrine axes in both humans and wildlife.... The ambitious goals of covering the expanse of molecular toxicology and regulatory action are met by the book's diverse chapters......Because of the array of authors, the book serves as an excellent introduction to many areas related to endocrine toxicology....... The book does an excellent job of covering the topics in endocrine disruption that have become increasingly relevant over the last three decades. The classic mechanisms of endocrine disruption, namely alterations in estrogen and androgen signaling, are covered in two excellent chapters....As a whole, this book offers an excellent review of the effects of toxins on endocrine physiology with a particular strength in its coverage of government programs for monitoring these effects and the subsequent implications for regulatory policy. Because of the burgeoning knowledge in this area, this update is certainly appreciated, and subsequent editions will be welcome as our knowledge of endocrine disruption expands to other areas of endocrine physiology."

Book SynopsisThe first comprehensive overview of an emerging field, Metabolic Medicine and Surgery introduces a new paradigm in patient management that crosses existing subspecialty boundaries. This approach is necessitated by the challenges of treating patients with obesity, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease and prediabetes, as well as those with maldigestion, malabsorption, malnutrition and nutritional deficiencies. This book teaches physicians and surgeons what they need to know about clinical nutrition, metabolism and the metabolic effects of bariatric surgery. It is also applicable to those in primary care, including physicians, residents, medical students, nurses and nurse practitioners, physician assistants and dietitians who are on the front lines of treating patients with obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease.The book is presented in four sections: 1. An Overview of Metabolic Medicine and Surgery; 2. Metabolic Syndrome, Insulin Resistance and Obesity; 3. DiTrade Review"… an excellent, if not very dense, book. While this is a very fluid field characterized by important new discoveries and persistent questions, the authors have successfully summarized metabolic medicine, the complications of this condition, and the treatment options for patients. The book is perhaps best suited to bariatricians, but it would be an excellent choice for any individual caring for this patient population.

Book SynopsisA comprehensive guide to addressing the growing epidemic of thyroid disease from the perspective of the Ayurvedic tradition In this comprehensive guide for practitioners and those concerned with thyroid health, Marianne Teitelbaum, D.C., integrates the ancient medicine of Ayurveda with modern scientific findings to address the growing epidemic of thyroid disease. Revealing how the thyroid is the victim of many factors that conspire to create ill health--and how many cases of thyroid disease go undiagnosed--Teitelbaum focuses not only on treating thyroid problems and symptoms but also on diagnosing them at their earliest, most reversible stages. She outlines the basic principles of Ayurveda, including pulse diagnosis, a key tool for early detection, and explains the successful treatment protocols she has developed over more than 30 years of Ayurvedic practice. She details the underlying reasons for thyroid malfunction, such as inflammation, malnutrition, and toxins, and how the thyroid is connected with the health of the rest of body, including the liver and gall bladder. She explores the Ayurvedic treatment of thyroid-related conditions, such as Hashimoto’s disease, hypothyroidism, and hyperthyroidism, offering guidance on the targeted use of herbs, specific dietary recommendations, proper detoxification, and Ayurvedic recipes. She also includes treatments and remedies for common symptoms of thyroid disease, including insomnia, depression, fatigue, and osteoporosis, as well as for luxurious hair growth and weight loss. Based on the treatment of more than 90,000 patients, this book also shares success stories of thyroid healing and the scientific studies that support the author’s Ayurvedic thyroid protocols. Offering an easy-to-follow yet comprehensive guide, Teitelbaum shows that optimum thyroid health as well as overall health are within everyone’s reach.Trade Review“This excellent work beautifully blends ancient Ayurvedic wisdom and modern endocrinology with special reference to management of the thyroid gland.

The references list many scientific citations, but rather than focus on the studies, such as how ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) modulates the thyroid. The goal is general good health achieved through balancing the three Ayurvedic doshas, or constitutions. She also delves into what causes thyroid problems and how to avoid them in the first place. It is admirable and very helpful to the herb world to write these unique book that tackles such a specific condition, especially one that has relatively few natural treatments!" * Kathi Keville, American Herb Association Quarterly Director *Table of ContentsForeword by Anjali Grover, M.D. Acknowledgments Preface INTRODUCTION Traditional Healing for a New Age 1 What Is Ayurveda? 2 The Thyroid Gland and Endocrine System 3 The Root Causes of Thyroid Malfunction 4 Thyroid and Adrenal Interactions 5 Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis: Autoimmune Disease of the Thyroid Gland 6 Gallbladder Function and the Thyroid Gland 7 Ayurvedic Treatments for Specific Conditions Caused by Thyroid Dysfunction 8 Diet and Daily Routine for Thyroid Health CONCLUSION Visionary Medicine Resources References Index
