Elizabeth Lee Vliet – författare

Despite the increased attention in the media to women's health, hormone connections are not being routinely evaluated and as a result, critical information is still being missed. Women are suffering needlessly, often being given costly medications that cause side-effects. In this revised and updated edition, Dr. Vliet continues her crusade to debunk the myths and misinformation on women's health, and to inform readers about premature menopause, increasing hormone problems in young women, new natural hormone options, over-the-counter herbs and supplements, "Syndrome W": perimenopausal weight gain and insulin resistance, progesterone the pregnancy hormone, and the relationships between hormones and diseases.

Why don't most popular diet plans work for post-menopausal women; and if they do, why do women have to work at it three times as hard and four times as long to lose half the weight a man does? Dr Elizabeth Lee Vliet answers the questions in a groundbreaking book that will be a godsend to every woman who has tried and failed to stop the dreaded 'inevitable' weight gain that comes with mid-life. In this book Dr Vliet explains how and why hormone imbalances are the major factor in the mid-life woman's inability to lose weight and how balanced hormonal production combined with exercise and a proper diet can lead to a breakthrough in mid-life fitness, health and well-being.
