With hormonal imbalance, the risk of conditions associated with
aging ? cancer, diabetes, osteoporosis or heart disease ? is
magnified. If our hormones are in balance, we have the potential to
age gracefully and remain youthful.
The complete fat-loss and preventative health guide for men and
women has finally arrived. What''s the secret? It''s in your
hormones!
In The Hormone Diet, Natasha Turner lays out a fool-proof plan to
balance your life, one hormone at a time. But it is more than just
a diet book. Along with advice for weight loss, Turner provides
recommendations for an anti-inflammatory detox, nutritional
supplements, exercise, sleep, stress management, toxin-free skin
care and natural hormone replacement, along with a personalized
diet plan - all incorporated into a complete 3-step wellness
program focused on the essentials of hormonal balance for lasting
health and fat loss.

"At last, a book about how to achieve hormonal health that
looks at the big picture. This book is a treasure. "
-Christiane Northrup, MD, author of The Secret Pleasures of
Menopause (Hay House, 2008), The Wisdom of
Menopause (Bantam, revised 2006), Women's

"The Hormone Diet adds an exciting new dimension to the
contemporary discussion of hormones and health. It teaches people
of all ages how to favorably alter their own internal
hormone production with diet change, exercise, adequate sleep,
natural detoxification, stress reduction, vitamins, minerals,
essential fatty acids, and botanicals-a truly patent medicine-free
and very effective, holistic approach.
Dr. Natasha Turner leads readers through a simple, step-by-step
approach to determine which of their hormones are high and which
are low, and then another step-by-step approach to the correction
of these imbalances over time. Following her advice will result in
significantly better hormone balance and over-all health-and lead
to sustained weight loss for as long as her program is
followed.Very highly recommended!"

replacement

author....She is sincerely dedicated to the health and well-being
of us all.I have found her advice and experience to be remarkably
helpful in my life. I am sure this book will become the cornerstone

Turner's approach as it gives certain hope for the possibility of
re-establishing superior hormone communication patterns by
non-drug, lifestyle interventions. This is powerful knowledge! My
25 years of research has demonstrated to me, beyond a shadow of a

is the best strategy for a healthy and happy life."
