Synopsis

Restore and maintain gynecological health, sex drive, and energy with this safe, effective hormone balance program for anyone experiencing premenopause syndrome. 

I’m too young for menopause. So why do I feel like this? Even if you’re a decade or more away from menopause, your hormones may already be out of balance, usually caused by an excess of estrogen and a deficiency of progesterone. More than 50 million women experience premenopause symptoms, including:

• Unexplained, sudden weight gain
• Severe PMS, fatigue, irritability, and mood swings
• Loss of libido
• Tender or lumpy breasts
• Fibroids and endometriosis
• Cold hands and feet
• Very heavy or light periods
• Other symptoms like infertility, memory loss, and migraines.

Now Dr. John Lee—author of the groundbreaking What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Menopause—teams up with women’s health expert Jesse Hanley, M.D., to bring you a revolutionary nonprescription “Balance Program” with simple, safe, and natural solutions for premenopause.

Learn how natural progesterone and changes to your diet and environment can balance your hormones, eliminate premenopausal symptoms, and make you feel better—all without surgery, antidepressants, or prescription hormones.

About this title

Review

Are you a woman between 35 and 50 experiencing PMS, migraine headaches, sudden weight gain, fatigue, irritability, tender or lumpy breasts, memory loss, fibroids, or cold hands and feet? If so, you may be experiencing symptoms of premenopause. Even if you're a decade or more away from menopause, your hormones may already be out of balance, usually caused by an excess of estrogen and a deficiency of progesterone, say the authors of What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Premenopause. John Lee, M.D., is a well-known advocate of the benefits of natural progesterone and the author of What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Menopause. Jesse Hanley, M.D., adds sensitivity to the emotional and spiritual aspects of premenopause. The authors recommend natural progesterone cream to balance your hormones, eliminate premenopausal symptoms, and make you feel better. They also discuss the dangers of xenohormones--substances not found in nature that have hormonal effects--frequently found in pesticides, solvents, plastics, and hormone-treated meat. The book presents common symptoms of premenopause with suggested natural treatments (progesterone cream, diet, vitamins, and herbs) and substances to avoid, plus additional chapters on diet and exercise. Many case studies help to bring the information into perspective. If you are premenopausal (or close to someone who is), this is a valuable resource. --Joan Price
