ReviewIn Natural Hormone Balance for Women, Beverly Hills obstetrician-gynecologist Uzzi Reiss makes it clear that he believes in hormone substitute therapy for women, but not the “chemicalized hormonal substitutes” ordinarily prescribed. “I emphasize natural hormones that are precise replicas of your own hormones,” he writes, which may increase energy and memory, decrease sensations or changes of menopause and PMS, improve skin and mood, and heighten sleep, sexuality, and well-being. But neither the widely used hormonal medications, such as estrogens derived from horse urine, nor the “natural” hormonal productions derived from soy or yams replicate the hormones devised by a woman’s body. Rather, he recommends a natural estrogen formula balanced with natural progesterone, both available through compounding pharmacies (with a doctor’s prescription).
Dr. Reiss and gifted cowriter Martin Zucker explain why, how, and when to use natural hormones. This is not a snappy, one-size-fits-all program–rather, you, with the involvement of your physician, learn how to make an analyzation of your needs and individualize your treatment for your own optimal hormonal balance. Reiss describes the gains and uses of natural estrogen and progesterone, then discusses other natural hormones that might be helpful: testosterone, humane growth hormone, DHEA, melatonin, and pregnenolone. This is a provocative book that’s worth sharing with your doctor. –Joan Price

Coauthor of Smart Medicine for a Healthier ChildWith this book, women may in the long run gain clear or deep perception into what is going on in their bodies, why they feel how they do, and what may make them feel better. I am looking forward to recommending it to patients, friends, and colleagues.
Leeza GibbonsDr. Reiss has been my doctor for a great deal of years. As I evolve as a woman, he proceeds to have answers to the questions that matter the most. He has contributed to my physical, mental, and aroused health, and in this book, he shows how all three are connected and how as women we may take back control. For each woman who ever felt her body was out of control, this book is a must-read.
