About Balance Your Hormones, Balance Your Life: Achieving
Product Description An accessible, thorough guide to hormones, how and why they become unbalanced, and the steps to restore hormonal health from holistic medicine expert Dr. Claudia Welch. Internationally renowned Doctor of Oriental Medicine Claudia Welch breaks through the secrets behind hormonal health using the principles of Ayurveda and the holistic sensibility of Dr. Christiane Northrup. Balance Your Hormones, Balance Your Life gives women the essential tools to achieve the perfect balance between their yin (sex hormones) and yang (stress hormones), and between the body and the mind. You'll find the information you need to restore your body's natural harmony, including: Tips to help heal your most pressing concerns, from menstrual pain, infertility, and menopause to breast and heart health The best foods to eat for optimal health and wellness Natural sleep secrets What to do when you are just feeling crummy How stress sabotages hormonal balance Practical, easy-to-adopt stress-management techniques From Publishers Weekly In her first full-length effort, Welch offers women a comprehensive overview of Oriental Medicine. She suggests that the root of problems faced by modern women can be found in an imbalance between sex hormones and stress hormones that results in women "of all ages" experiencing problems ranging from "painful periods, mood swings, fatigue, and insomnia to...uterine fibroids, hot flashes, heart disease and osteoporosis." Welch, a licensed massage therapist who holds a certificate from the state of New Mexico to practice Oriental Medicine and a national certificate to practice acupuncture, wisely offers a disclaimer: "this book should not be taken or construed as medical diagnosis or treatment." She breaks down hormones (the "ambassadors of Yin and Yang"), discusses serious health issues, from breast risks to dementia, and offers methods for restoring hormonal balance. While these primarily include a diet based in organic whole grains, beans, green vegetables, and soy, meditation and exercise, and the reduction of stress inducers (some of her advice will strike readers as familiar), when taken as a whole, the advice is sound. A welcome eastern addition to the women's health discussion. (Mar.)

For your own sake, read this book and take its lessons to heart."―Curled Up With A Good Book "Dr. Welch brings a clear voice to the often confusing and conflicting body of information surrounding hormones and women's health... a user-friendly guide that skillfully blends Eastern therapies with Western health concerns."―Yoga International "Her writing style is readable and user-friendly. Medical terms are explained. She includes easy recipes for improving diet. Issues concerning menstruation, birth control, breast and heart health, fertility, and aging are answered and Welch addresses how Eastern versus Western medicine deals with each issue. Especially helpful is Welch's analysis of Eastern spiritual practices and meditation."―Portland Book Review "Readers will find a wealth of information on the sex (yin) and stress (yang) hormones, advice on how to address specific health issues, and ideas for stress management, healthy diet options (including recipes), and lifestyle changes. An informative and accessible door into the world of Eastern medicine, likely to be especially appreciated by women seeking ways to end the unhealthy cycle of stress in their l
