***Signs of Hormone Havoc*** The ways women experience hormone imbalances are as varied as women themselves. Symptoms can be physical, mental, emotional, or more likely a combination of them all. These are some of the common signs:

*You feel like you are on an emotional roller coaster- feelings are fragile, raw, and unpredictable. One minute you may be extremely irritated by small details and the next, on the verge of tears. Anxiety and panic episode may have ballooned out of control. *You are tired all of the time and find you are gaining weight while eating the same diet. *Self-doubt and brain fog have taken on new extremes - the occasional memory lapse is now an everyday occurrence. *You find yourself repeatedly awake at 4:00 am - sometime in a cold or hot sweat. You're hanging by your fingernails, scare that friends, family, and co - workers suspect you're incompetent or even crazy! Sound familiar???? Then this book is a must read!!!!!

This book is dedicated to John R. Lee, MD, friend, colleague, and leader, whose pioneering research with natural hormones opened the door for the rest of us...
