Learn moreA Harvard physician's scientifically proven method to improve your physical and mental health by optimizing your hormones in your 30s, 40s, and beyond
Dr. Sara Gottfried refuses to accept the traditional medical thinking that feeling cranky, asexual, tapped out, and sleep-deprived is just part of being female and aging, and that prescription medication will fix all problems. Offering solutions in nonjudgmental and thoughtful language, Dr. Gottfried provides a novel plan based on solid scientific research. She believes you don't find a cure at the bottom of a pill bottle. A specialist in functional and integrative therapies, Dr. Gottfried bases her three-step treatment strategy on ten years' study of cutting-edge techniques and ancient treatments validated by current medical research. The plan includes supplements and targeted lifestyle changes that address underlying deficiencies, herbal therapies, and bioidentical hormones—most available without a prescription.
Easy to understand and highly illuminating, The Hormone Cure demonstrates how balancing your hormones can actually cure underlying health issues, alleviate symptoms, and give women a life of increased energy, sensuality, and resilience.
Sara Gottfried, MD, is an author, a hormone expert, a Harvard-educated physician-scientist, and a clinical assistant professor in the department of integrative medicine and nutritional sciences at Sidney Kimmel Medical College, Thomas Jefferson University. A graduate of Harvard Medical School and MIT, she treats the root cause of problems and teaches women how to balance their hormones naturally. She has been featured on 20/20 and The Ricki Lake Show, as well as in the award-winning film Yogawoman and such publications as Redbook, Cosmopolitan, Glamour, Women’s World, Natural Health Magazine, and many more.
Tara Hugo’s film and television appearances include United 93, In Love and War, Hellboy, Last Flight to Kuwait, The Broken, Big Women, Panama Canal, Silent Weapon, Midsomer Murders, Murder City, and Submerged. She has also narrated documentaries and has done several radio plays for the BBC in London.
Reviews
“The Hormone Cure is a breakthrough hormone guide—entertaining, persuasive, hilarious. I’ve not seen this content anywhere! Get to the root of your issues: low energy, fatigue, low sex drive, anxiety, weight gain. This book is gold.”
“Never before have I read a book and shouted, ‘Oh my God, that’s me!’ Managing hormones is the most important issue of women my age. I don’t just want to read Sara Gottfried, I want her to be my doctor, my friend, and my sister.”
“A magnificent book! Every woman needs to read it, and every doctor.”
“Don’t accept the hormonal hell of being tired, stressed, fat, never in the mood for sex. Dr. Gottfried gives you an effective, easy-to-follow plan to balance your hormones and become lean and energetic. Stop settling, reclaim your sexy!”
“[A] scientifically advanced yet deeply humane guide to hormonal heath…As readers wade through detailed scientific explanations and extensive recommendations ranging from fish oil and ginseng to yoga-based breathing and meditation, they will be cheered by her appealing sense of humor and disarming candor. And likely, many of them will also be stirred by Gottfried’s sympathetic understanding to stay the course.”
“The Hormone Cure is the playbook for your mojo, your mind, and your bootie. With every chapter I thought, ‘So THAT’s how that works.’ I wanted to call every girlfriend and give them the goods on how to glow…now and always.”
“A cogent, hilarious, wise explanation about why women feel the way they do at different times in their cycles—and sensible advice, too. Dr. Gottfried is Dr. Weil and Dr. Northrups’ love child—part of the new conversation about hormones.”
“Gottfried is a rare breed of physician who can discuss both progesterone replacement and the power of chanting. Her engaging and well-researched book offers women an excellent resource for the wild ride from peri to menopause.”
“This wonderful book transforms how we approach women’s health issues and will help you understand how to achieve hormonal equilibrium if you suffer from fatigue, depression, and other endocrine-based neuropsychiatric symptoms.”
“If I could recommend just one book to women about hormones and perimenopause, The Hormone Cure would be it. Dr. Sara Gottfried is a genius, compassionate and wise, not to mention a first-class writer. Read this book!”
“Dr. Sara is smart, she’s hip, and yet she’s pure Harvard! Learn how to make your hormones hum. Run, don’t walk, to buy this book—for yourself and your friends. The life you save may be your own.”
