Book excerpt: The female hormonal system is complicated.Modern medicine has taken an over-simplistic approach to female hormones, making the false assumption that all women are the same. What has been the consequence? Overprescribed medicine. Now that's a bold statement, so allow me to explain.Perhaps you can relate to the following: Whenever a woman goes to the doctor because she's experiencing hormonal issues, doctors are very quick to take note of symptoms and then prescribe a specific medicine aimed at alleviating these symptoms. This "quick fix" mentality the medical industry is fuelled by is the fundamental problem with the contemporary Western medical system.Now let me preface by making it clear that I'm not here to complain about how medicine doesn't work and how we should stop vaccinating our children. Of course medicine "works". But what is clear is that it is overprescribed and prescribed far too quickly. Furthermore, what does "work" even mean? Has a medicine truly worked if it is just covering up symptoms rather than actually targeting the root cause of a problem as to prevent it from occurring again and prevent the need to prescribe even more powerful drugs next time? A typical doctor only has 10-15 minutes with a patient (if that) as they have to see hundreds of patients per week. Think about that. 10-15 minutes to make a decisive decision as to what the best course of action is for a specimen as complicated as a human being.This is one of the primary reasons doctors are paid so much. It takes a lot of training and expertise to be able to make a judgement about something that can potentially have harmful or positive effects on someone's well-being within 15 minutes. 10-15 minute appointments make sense from a business perspective. This length of time is also better for the community as a whole as 100 people being seen for 15 minutes is far better than 25 being seen for an hour while 75 are left without any treatment. However, when we're talking about actually finding the best solution to someone's hormonal issues, 10-15 minutes is not even close to being enough time. That's why this book exists, to fill in the missing time from doctors appointments that women around the world, like you, need and deserve. This book exists to give you a holistic understanding of what keeps your hormones healthy as a woman.
