Your Inner Estrogen: An Individualized, Natural Approach to Understanding and Balancing Your Hormones Before and After Menopause [Paperback]

Pat Camillo (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: February 2006

This book is a refreshing departure from the usual books about women and their hormones! Part 1 describes a set of simple observations designed to help women determine whether they have too much or too little estrogen - before and after menopause. Part 2 of the book shares some little known research that describes how various life style choices might effect how much estrogen a woman has in her body at any given time - emphasizing the uniqueness of each woman, including women whose hormones may affect diseases such as osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, breast cancer and lupus.

In addition, I was also one of the first 100 menopause practitioners to be certified by the North American Menopause Society in 2000! For the past 30 years my clinical practice has been focused on health care for women from birth to elder years. This is a passion that goes well beyond the need for employment. I have also "lived" women's health.....stage 4 endometriosis,infertility, surgical menopause, both breasts removed for atypical hyperplasia, osteoarthritis.....all this has given me an "insiders" perspective. The challenges I faced helped me to explore alternative measures to help myself as well as other women.
