Summary:
Many women see changes in mood, desire, and sleep as normal signs of the aging process. And many also believe that the only way to find relief is to seek out medication. But Dr. Sara Gottfried is not one of those women. Based on ten years' worth of studies, she presents a three-step process that helps balance hormones without relying on prescription medication.
