The Hormone Survival Guide for Perimenopause
By Nisha Jackson, PhD
The Hormone Survival Guide for Perimenopause by Nisha Jackson, PhD, is must reading for every woman. Some women sail smoothly from their maidenhood to their years when motherhood is a possibility to elderhood when the possibility of childbearing ceases. Some females, though, at the time of diminishing hormone levels, experience sharp and rapid imbalances which can wreak havoc. Jackson explains that no longer should the currently estimated 50 to 70 million women (p. 17) in perimenopause accept the outmoded notion from uninformed health care professionals that these problems are "all in their heads" and be dismissed after a five-minute evaluation and the pronouncement that they merely should grin and bear it.
No longer should women allow a physician's guesswork to keep them teetering on the brink of tears and overwhelming depression or to have drugs pushed on them to mask their "hormonal hurricane" (p. 75) of symptoms. A qualified hormone therapist should administer a comprehensive hormone profile to test either blood serum, saliva, or urine, then evaluate the results to determine a valid diagnosis.
For her own patients, after administering blood serum hormone tests -- the "worldwide gold standard for evaluating women's hormone levels" (p. 32) -- a physical exam, and stress evaluation, Jackson encourages a diet of wholesome proteins, whole grains, orchard-fresh fruits and garden-fresh vegetables and prompts her patients to abandon factory foods and sugar. She outlines ample recreation and exercise and helps patients to get better quality sleep. If indicated, she begins them on a careful regimen of natural bioidentical hormones respecting their own biochemical individuality. If needed, she also recommends herbs that she deems safe.
Judiciously balancing hormones, if needed, by natural means can change a woman's life dramatically; and, in some cases, it can save her from what could have been a desperate downward spiral to premature death. Jackson is adamant about the crucial importance of proper testing through a qualified practitioner and a reputable laboratory.
If your current health care adviser fails to test you, Jackson recommends finding a knowledgeable and reputable health care provider who will. Having experienced hormonal upheaval in her own life, having gotten it under control, and having treated thousands of women, Nisha Jackson is a consummate and caring therapist to those who need a "hormone survival guide for perimenopause" and wish "to balance their hormones naturally."
