From the Back Cover

Millions of women experience a traumatic loss of sexual desire during menopause. Although estrogen and progesterone alleviate many of the unpleasant effects of menopause, these hormones cannot address flagging sexual desire. Dr. Susan Rako's breakthrough research has brought to light the fact that the female body produces significant amounts of testosterone that are crucial to the healthy functioning of every woman's libido, thus linking decreased testosterone levels at the onset of menopause to diminished sex drive. The Hormone of Desire is the first book to fully reveal the benefits of testosterone supplements for menopausal women and is an invaluable tool for women and their doctors.
