Description
Written by a world-leading hormones specialist, this book explores the science of hormones and how understanding the secrets of the body’s chemical messengers can transform our health and wellbeing. Hormones drive every process in the body, influencing growth, disease resistance, digestion, sleep, weight management and stress. When they become unbalanced, they can contribute to conditions including diabetes, infertility and heart disease. They also affect our personalities, feelings and decisions. International expert Dr Max Nieuwdorp combines stories from his daily work with patients with cutting-edge science, examining the role of hormones from childhood to old age. He explores subjects ranging from the effect of smartphones on sleep and longevity to the way gut bacteria produce ‘happy’ hormones. This eye-opening, myth-busting book reveals the crucial and under-explored influence of hormones on our health, moods, relationships and sense of identity.
