Hormonal Harmony: A woman's guide to puberty, fertility, menopause and beyond

Whether you’re going through puberty, pregnancy, infertility, perimenopause or menopause, every woman needs this book to understand and balance her hormones for optimum health at every life stage.

Hormones are the unsung heroes of our bodies, quietly orchestrating nearly every function from our first breath to our final stage of life. As women, our hormonal landscape is a dynamic, ever-changing system that shapes our physical health, emotional wellbeing, and how we experience life.

As young girls, we ride the rollercoaster of Puberty into the Fertile Years, living to the rhythm of our menstrual cycle while managing conception and fertility. In midlife we navigate the sometimes challenging Perimenopause and Menopause years, before gliding into the Age of Wisdom, able to enjoy freedom from hormonal disruption.

Our body is a masterpiece of biological wisdom, yet many women suffer from hormonal symptoms such as irritability, fatigue and mood swings, wrestle with infertility, or struggle with the crippling pain of conditions like endometriosis. So often, when we seek help, we’re told this is ‘normal’ – just part of being a woman. We’re also bombarded with health information online but how do we know what’s credible and what’s marketing?

In this personal yet comprehensive guidebook, two of Australia’s leading voices in women’s health and wellness, integrative medicine specialist Dr Karen Coates and renowned wellness advocate Sharon Kolkka, provide the practical tips and proven strategies every woman needs to achieve hormonal balance and overcome the many health hurdles that women of all ages can face.

Jam-packed with fascinating research, evidence-based advice, real-life stories and wellness action plans, Hormonal Harmony is a one-stop resource for learning how to thrive throughout the complex hormonal changes that shape our lives.
