ENFIELD, Conn., March 13, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Alicia Stanton, MD, one of the country's leading experts on women's health and hormone therapy, announces her award-winning book Hormone Harmony: How to Balance Insulin, Cortisol, Thyroid, Estrogen, Progesterone and Testosterone to Live Your Best Life is now available as an eBook. Co-authored with veteran health writer Vera Tweed, Hormone Harmony aims to guide women and men on a path toward achieving optimal health as they age by balancing hormones through proper nutrition, lifestyle and environmental changes. The eBook version of Hormone Harmony is available now and can be downloaded at Amazon.com for $7.99.
"Since its initial release, I have been blown away by the overwhelming response Hormone Harmony has received from readers and the book industry," said Dr. Stanton. "I am very excited that Hormone Harmony is now available as an eBook, and I hope to reach even more readers and help them to make some lifestyle changes that can restore hormone balance and achieve optimal health as they age."
In Hormone Harmony, Dr. Stanton breaks down all the factors that contribute to hormone imbalances. Many people know that hormones such as estrogen, progesterone and testosterone naturally decline with age. The most obvious manifestation of this occurs in women during menopause, but men also experience the effects of age related decline in hormone levels. Dietary, lifestyle and environmental factors greatly affect our hormonal health as well, but their impacts are less widely understood. In her book, Dr. Stanton outlines the lifestyle changes and treatment options available to restore hormone balance and achieve overall health and wellness.
Each chapter details the relationship between diet, stress, environmental toxins, exercise, and supplements and our bodies' hormones. Dr. Stanton offers realistic guidelines for adopting healthy habits in one's daily life. "This book provides the foundation for maintaining a healthy lifestyle that anyone can stick with long term," she said.
When it was originally release in hardcover, Hormone Harmony was recognized in several book industry awards including a finalist in the women's issues and health/wellness categories of the 2010 Next Generation Indie Book Awards, a finalist in the health and well being category of the 2010 National Indie Excellence Awards and a finalist in the women's health and aging/50+ categories of the Best Books 2010 Awards. Additionally, Hormone Harmony took the silver medal in the health/wellness category in the Independent Publisher's 2011 Living Now Book Awards, which honor the year's best books that help readers attain healthier, more fulfilling and productive lives.
In addition to Hormone Harmony, Dr. Stanton is also author of The Complete Idiot's Guide to Hormone Weight Loss, which is available in bookstores and at Amazon.com. It is also available in Nook and Kindle versions. More information on Dr. Stanton and her books can be found at draliciastanton.com.
