The Power Of Hormones

The Power Of Hormones: Why everything you've been told about hormones is wrong – and why it matters by Dr Louise Newson is a clear-eyed, evidence-based guide to women’s health that challenges the way progesterone, oestrogen and testosterone have been misunderstood for decades. With the confidence of a leading hormone specialist, Newson unpacks how fear and misinformation—especially the muddling of body-identical hormones with synthetic versions—has shaped medical advice and public debate.

She explores what these hormones actually do for the brain, bones and heart, and why so many women with hormone imbalance are dismissed, misdiagnosed, or diverted toward treatments that don’t address the real issue. Along the way, myths around menopause and HRT are carefully dismantled without jargon or preaching.

Perfect for readers seeking trustworthy menopause advice, science-backed wellbeing, and informed advocacy in the doctor’s office.

Add it to your basket and give yourself (or someone you love) a smarter starting point for understanding hormones.
