It’s Probably Your Hormones

By Dr. Mary Ryan

Ghostwriter - Jennifer Stevens

Illustrator - Derry Dillon

Weight gain, insomnia, libido loss, fertility issues and acne are just some of the possible signs that something is not right with your hormones. Consultant endocrinologist Dr Mary Ryan explains how good hormone health is important throughout our lives, not just at menopause, and how, by tackling problems when they arise, we can take control and improve our wellbeing. 

The unfortunate truth though is that many women struggle to have their hormonal health taken seriously and fail to get the support they need to manage debilitating symptoms. In this essential handbook, Dr Mary Ryan shows us how we can recognise hormonal issues and how to balance our hormones with various treatment options, including HRT, diet, sleep and exercise, so that we can live happy, healthy and balanced lives at any age.
