Venus on Fire, Mars on Ice: Hormonal Balance - The Key to Life, Love and Energy [Hardcover]

John Gray Ph.D. (Author)

Book Description

Release date: May 1, 2010

In Venus on Fire, Mars on Ice, Dr. John Gray advises men and women of the best ways to harness the connection between stress, blood sugar, body fat, and behavior to create lifelong passion and better health. Dr. Gray reveals that the differences between the sexes, and how they relate to one another, are biochemically based and can be explained--and managed--by our hormones.

Dr. Gray provides small steps for super-stimulating the hormones necessary to nourish a vibrant life. He explores how communication, romance, ''a superfood diet, super exercise, and super sleep,'' can be incorporated into any lifestyle, and result in a whole new way of life. For example, Dr. Gray reveals:

• The unique ways in which men and women deal with stress
• How stress hormones can damage our health and complicate our relationships
• The importance of ''superfoods'' and good nutrition in replenishing hormones
• Why menopause--and 'man-o-pause' don't have to be relationship stressors
• How balancing blood sugar is intricately connected to balancing our hormones
• How achieving hormonal balance will not only improve relationships but provide strength and energy to cope with the challenges of modern life

5.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly great read May 11, 2010

By claude challe

Format:Hardcover

I haven't read a John Gray book since his first "men are from mars, women are from venus". but when i was browsing a bookstore at the airport, i picked this book up to see what he was talking about these days. After reading the cover, i bought it and was pleasantly surprised on my flight. He remains on the path of relationships but this book helps to simply explain the science behind good and bad communication - stress hormones. His explanations are still witty and most have me chuckling at times but it's his tips that make it a great read. he covers easy ways to eat healthier, sleep better and what things I can do to create what he calls "feel-good" hormones. I am almost finished reading and can't wait to have my wife read it too.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must read for anyone in a relationship May 10, 2010

By N. Cheeseman

Format:Hardcover

OMG, I loved reading this book!!! John Gray gets backs to his core principles and adds so many new interesting ideas about the inversion of the masculine and feminine poles, scientific studies bring a new light on the importance of nutrition in relationships between men and women and the information about hormonal balance and blood sugar were invaluable. I also loved how he links stress as one of the main enemies of the modern couple.

In addition, the color illustrations - and stories makes the reading even more exciting. A MUST read for anyone in a relationship.

5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST READ FOR ANYONE IN A RELATIONSHIP May 12, 2010

By Book Lover

Format:Hardcover

I am so happy I picked up this book, I had no idea that hormonal balance is key to a successful relationship. John Gray explains in easy terms simple things that women and men can do to balance their hormones, relieve stress and therefore make a huge impact on their relationship. I also was able to see John's PBS special also entitled Venus on Fire Mars on Ice which also helped a lot not only with my relationship with my husband but with my whole family.
