'Newson radiates empathetic concern for women's quality of life.' - The Sunday Times

For decades, three vital hormones in the female body, progesterone, estrogen and testosterone, have been misunderstood, dismissed and feared. Their critical roles in improving function of women's brains, bones, hearts and long-term health have been ignored.

Confusion between natural, body identical hormones and synthetic, chemically altered 'hormones' has distorted medical guidelines and shaped media narratives. The result? Countless women struggling with hormone imbalances left untreated, misdiagnosed or told to take antidepressants and other medications instead of being prescribed the hormones their bodies are lacking.

In this bold, evidence-based book, leading doctor and women's hormone specialist Dr Louise Newson exposes the uncomfortable truth behind medicine's blindness and complacency, revealing how women's suffering has been normalised for generations. Drawing on powerful medical history, science and decades of clinical experience, she dismantles myths around menopause, HRT and so-called 'sex hormones', and gives women the knowledge that has been withheld for too long.

The Power of Hormones exposes why so many people have been let down and continue to be failed by outdated medicine. Passionate, empowering and refreshingly honest, the book shows how understanding and restoring hormonal balance can transform quality of life as well as future health.

The way this book reframes hormones is so important to the future care of women. So many people think hrt is only useful for menopausal women but actually this book highlights a whole new way of looking at medicine for women. iconic given medicine has always been done through the male lens.

This is a must read/listen. Lots of interesting, factual and eye-opening information from a seriously credible and compassionate clinician. No longer should women’s health be ruled by misogynistic and closed-mind thinking. The truth hurts but it is empowering!
