Hormones are not just silent chemical messengers; they are the hidden force that governs our bodies moment by moment. They control our growth, immunity, weight, sleep, mood, energy, and even the decisions we believe are purely rational. When this delicate balance is disrupted, problems begin to emerge, from diabetes and fertility disorders to heart disease and chronic fatigue. In this bold and myth-busting book, Dr. Max Nieuwdorp re-maps our understanding of our bodies from the inside out. Through a clever blend of his daily experiences with patients and the latest scientific advancements, he reveals the pivotal role of hormones from childhood to old age. From the impact of smartphones on our sleep and longevity to the surprising connection between gut bacteria and happiness hormones. In simple language and with sound science, this book teaches you how to decipher the signals your body sends and provides practical keys to restore hormonal balance, as the path to better health, a calmer mood, and a more harmonious life.
