The Hormone Loop

'Gillian Goddard is the doctor all women deserve; this book is essential reading for everyone' Emily Oster Take charge of your hormone at every stage of your life From our mood to our metabolism, hormones maintain nearly every bodily function. Yet most of us don't understand how our hormones work, and what to do when they don't. In The Hormone Loop, renowned endocrinologist Dr Gillian Goddard offers a definitive guide to hormonal health throughout a woman's life, from puberty and the reproductive years to each phase of menopause.

Whether you are experiencing unexpected weight gain, fatigue or period pain, or simply want to support a child through puberty, Dr Goddard will prepare you to have better conversations with doctors and become a powerful self-advocate for your health.
