Occasionally a health-related book comes along that is perfect for its timethe right topic, the right information, from the right authority. Such is the book by Sara Gottfried, MD, The Hormone Cure. So much has been written about how women should manage their hormonal health during and after menopause, much of it not by someone with the background, training and clinical skills that Dr. Gottfried has as a specialist in gynecology and womens health. Her book is a definitive integration of safe and effective approaches to the management of issues of the brain, breast, bones, and heart that come with the onset of menopause. This is a book of our time that will help women navigate successfully through the challenging neurohormonal changes that come with menopause.

Jeffrey Bland, PhD, founder of the Institute of Functional Medicine
