Hormone Repair Manual: Every Woman's Guide to Healthy Hormones After 40

Product Information

While the book has valid concerns about hormonal birth control, I’m not convinced that it has been as detrimental to women and women’s health as portrayed in the book. I appreciated the section at the end about how to talk to your doctor about the issues outlined in the book. Okay, I can understand that, but the way in which Briden tells us to see if food contains sugar, is to lick it.

Hormone Repair Manual - Lara Briden

Women commit suicide over severe PMS and it is well-known that hormonal birth control is linked to depression. Period Repair Manual is your guide to better periods using natural treatments such as diet, nutritional supplements, herbal medicine, and natural hormones.This lively, clear and supportive book provides positive and helpful information that many women need as they approach perimenopause and beyond. The main argument is that BC suppresses ovulation, and is therefore bad because it covers up potentially serious conditions. Even if you aren't currently experiencing period problems, I would still recommend this book to all women.

Suppressing ovulation, and therefore the growth of new endometriosis tissue, reduces the severity of this disease. I am becoming more interested in the idea of using a team of complementary health care providers like an ND along with an MD and everyone collaborating to their strengths. Naturopathic doctor Lara Briden wants to give women the knowledge and tools to improve their period health.

You’ll also find information about natural treatments including iodine for breast pain, progesterone for heavy periods, and some of the best natural anti-androgen supplements for facial hair and acne.
