Signals: The Inside Story of Our Hormones

To declare “I’m so hormonal” misses the point, argues writer and leading endocrinologist Hameed in this enthralling, revelatory book. For the truth that all of us are hormonal, all of the time, soon emerges as she takes us on a journey around our bodies to reveal our miraculous hormones at work: from their role in building a baby in utero, to directing puberty, menopause and beyond. Through compassionately told patient histories of obesity, agonising infertility, absent libido and more addressed by fixing misfiring hormones, Hameed reveals that, ultimately, to be human is to be hormonal.
