Shweta Patel brilliantly writes The Book of Hormones to help readers understand and take control of their health. You will learn about mental and physical changes that occur through puberty, pregnancy, perimenopause, and menopause. Although this book is about medical explanations of health symptoms, prevention methods, and treatments, the writing style is humorous and easy to understand. The tone is similar to chatting with a good friend about our bodies and how to take control of our health journey.

What I liked most about this book is the chapter that summarizes the natural and medical treatments. It makes it easy to reference remedies for various symptoms of menstruation and menopause. Patel wrote about prevention, holistic methods, and many different medical treatments. This book stands out from other health books because the author provides a fitness routine and explains what happens to your hormones during different types of exercises. Readers will understand why their bodies are changing and learn several ways to improve their mental and physical health.

I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars. This book was very well-edited and professionally written. There was only one minor typo that did not interfere with the flow of reading this book.

There is nothing that I disliked about this book. I highly recommend it to readers who identify as a woman and are interested in learning how to manage different hormonal changes through stages of life. Patel also includes a very informative chapter about transgender hormone therapy. I also recommend this book to young girls to learn about the physical changes their bodies will go through. I would caution guardians of very young readers that the book does mention details about what happens to our bodies during sex. It is written with scientific references and is not erotic. I do not recommend this book to readers who are not interested in reading in detail about women’s health.

This appears a good medical book for general readers. The review is well made and having interest in medical general reading materials, I would go to read this one. Thanks.

This sounds like an interesting and informative book on and effect of hormones on the lives of youths and adolescents. I also like that it sheds light on transgender hormone therapy. Thanks for the great review.

Your review makes it clear that this is an interesting and educational book. It sounds like parts of it might be appropriate for girls who are approaching puberty to read and discuss with a adult.I am interested in reading more about the fitness routine mentioned.
