If you’re the kind who just glides past the medical section of a bookstore here’s one book that will change your reading habits forever. With Lindsey Berkson’s Safe Hormones Smart Women, you’ll discover that even the most complex of concepts can be explained in a lucid manner. Entertainingly educative, here’s a book that you’re going to be grateful you bought.
Hormones are probably one of the most controversial products to be researched over decades. For every study that says they’re good, there are an equal number that point out its dangers. Amidst all the confusing inputs, gaining the right perspective is tough. What it needs is years of dedicated study and an incisive intellect to sift through the overload of information. This is exactly the reason why Lindsey Berkson has succeeded where many others have feared to tread.
Over a career spanning 30 years, Lindsey Berkson has worn diverse hats. Promoting the cause of breast cancer, speaking engagements, providing nutritional advice, conducting research, educating and training other medical professionals – she’s done it all. The sheer magnitude of the data she’s compiled, organized and simplified to reach you leaves you wondering if she has a secret fount of some hormone that’s been denied to others. Not once or twice but for the fourth time, her book on something as seemingly prosaic as hormones has generated such a wave of interest.
The painstaking research that’s gone into the making of this tome is obvious – there’s no glossing over the unpleasant parts – each and every concept is thoroughly dealt with in entirety. Reading this book, you’ll learn a lot about the role of hormones in every aspect of your life right from the wrinkles on your skin to your flagging libido. You’ll learn about why fish oil is safe and how folic acid can be potentially dangerous.
Translating knotty medical theories into something that’s easy for everyone to understand, Lindsey speaks a language that has a distinct charm. Open any of the general books on the topic. You’ll find the author droning on about how there are different kinds of receptor molecules located on cells and how they interact with hormones and this in turn causes the release of some secondary messengers which causes certain actions like blah blah – you get the picture. Even the most scintillating of research findings can be lost in the quagmire of scientific jargon. Contrast this with Lindsey’s style that talks of hormonal email and the Goldilocks principle – and you’ll understand the reason why so many people are hooked by this book.
There’s something else reading this book will do to you. Amidst all the details of estrogen and progesterone, in the middle of understanding their role in health and disease, you’ll begin to realize what a wonder the human body is. As you gradually begin to comprehend the intricate mechanisms by which various components are linked in our system, you’ll find yourself wondering. Not at the variety of disease, but at the fact that so many of us are normal. All of which just goes to create a sense of awe and gratitude for the amazing software we’ve been created with.
