The latest information about estrogen, the body's enlivening powerhouse hormone.

Why is estrogen crucial―and so misunderstood? How do I know if my estrogen level is “normal”? What is the best treatment for a hormonal imbalance? How does estrogen impact my reproductive cycle? Is hormone replacement therapy right for me? Is it only useful at menopause? How can I be my best, healthiest self now and in the future?

Understanding estrogen―its function and interplay with all your other hormones and body systems―is key to a healthy, vibrant life. But far too many women remain unaware of the benefits of estrogen, and how it can be supplemented in natural, bioidentical form.

This book, written by an expert in the field of OB-GYN and integrative medicine, offers an authoritative yet accessible approach to hormonal health. In The Good News About Estrogen, Dr. Uzzi Reiss draws upon the most up-to-date scientific research, as well as women’s stories from his decades of practice, to explain:

- How hormones―and your levels of estrogen―change over time, and what you can do to achieve balance naturally or with hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
- The good news about estrogen―how it can enhance energy, sexuality, and memory; alleviate premenstrual syndrome (PMS) or the side effects of menopause; help fight weight gain, anxiety, depression, and more.
- Bioidentical hormones―why they are safe and crucial to your well-being at any age or stage, and how to choose which treatment plan is right for you.
- How your everyday habits―what you eat, drink, wear, and breathe―can affect hormonal health, and which small lifestyle changes can make a big difference.
- Nutrition and exercise―learn how each works hand-in-hand with hormones and can help you to achieve maximum physical and emotional fitness, promote bone health, prevent cardiovascular disease, and boost brain power.

A great book to have and keep…

Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2022

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Reiss for over 25 years and still I appreciate this newest book. Whenever I see Dr. Reiss I am usually greeted with a clipboard, pen and fresh paper to take notes and if I ask for scientific support I’m going to walk out of there with an arm load of studies. I don’t know if we need all those studies in this book because hormone replacement already gets a little complicated. It has been my experience with my Kaiser doctors and with the specialists I saw before Kaiser and with outside “functional medicine“ doctors that they all try to get me to stop using any hormones and to live with dire symptoms of aging. My newest primary care doctor at Kaiser is a lovely lady who could handle any of my problems however when I mentioned hormones she abruptly said “I won’t prescribe those. They cause cancer.” I am 68 now and an avid rock climber while every one of my women friends take no hormones but every one of them does take some sort of antidepressant, statin drug, blood pressure medication etc. other women I know who tried hormones were given pellets that made them miserable or just one hormone, usually estrogen, that left them so very out of balance. I have concluded that no one really knows much about BHRT. God forbid you ask one of these doctors about human growth hormone or pregnenolone or DHEA . So I grow more appreciative of Dr. Reiss every day and this book is a great reference to wellness. I pulled it off the shelf just yesterday to take a look at his diet and supplement recommendations—and totally appreciate how spot on they are. Pretty much everything I need is in this book, for which I am very grateful.

This book assumes the reader knows nothing about hormones. If you’ve got any knowledge of physiology at all, don’t waste your money.

A Basic Book about Estrogen

Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2020

First, let’s be clear, this book is written by a male OB/GYN who may or may not be an “expert in the field of OB/GYN.” Yes, he’s practiced medicine for 40 years, but that doesn’t make him an expert on hormones or restoring hormones to women with a waning supply of estrogen. Back in the day, his day, research showed that HRT might cause breast cancer and hundreds of thousands of women were taken off HRT based on that research, it seems, on the misconception that all women produce hormones at the same rate and process them at the same rate. That meant those women were precipitously and suddenly denied a source of estrogen. Throughout the ensuing decades, women were not given access to any estrogen, whether synthetic or bioidentical.

In all his years of being a doctor of women, he comes with remarkably redundant solutions to the ongoing results of estrogen loss: get plenty of sleep, exercise, watch your diet, avoid contaminants, etc., etc. The doctor even provides recipes for us.

I didn’t notice any of the “up-to-date scientific research” and quoting stories from the doctor’s patients doesn’t qualify as scientific research. The resources he cites at the end of the book don’t seem to be very current as they range in age from 29 years old to five years old – hardly up-to-date research.

What I wanted from this book was something I could take to my doctor and ask her her opinion of what he has to say or to be able to give her something based in fact to change her mind about the efficacy of working with me to add a source of estrogen to my diet.

If you want a basic book about women and estrogen, this is the book for you, if want something more than what most of us of a certain age already know, or should know, this isn’t the book for you. Please note that much of this book seems to be aimed at women who are either perimenopausal or have just crossed over the line to menopause.

My thanks to St. Martin’s Press and Edelweiss for an eARC.

Informative!

Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2020

Such an informative book! If you are female, young or old, this book is for you! The title is a bit misleading as it doesn't just cover estrogen. It covers progesterone along with other hormones as well. The Good News About Estrogen is comprehensive. It's educational and it's empowering. Five stars.

Ich hatte mich sehr auf das Buch gefreut, das Buch " Natural Hormone Balance" aus 2001 hatte mir bereits sehr gute Informationen geliefert. Jetzt bin ich total enttäuscht - neue Informationen? Fehlanzeige. Es haben sich also in 19 Jahren keine neuen Erkenntnisse ergeben? Dafür seitenweise Diät- und Workoutvorschläge und der Rat, den BH wegzulassen...echt jetzt? Für mich Null neue Information und viel zu allgemein. Keine Kaufempfehlung.
