I second this recommendation. This is a great author, and very informative. http://home.attbi.com/~cnmpat/womanhlth.html#Screaming Pat >Hi everyone,
>I just read the most enlightening, informative book. It is entitled,
>"Women, Weight and Hormones" by Elizabeth Lee Vliet, M.D. She also
>authored, "Screaming to be Heard--Hormonal Connections Women Suspect and
>Doctors Still Ignore". Please, everyone out there who wants to be
>educated about their health both now and in the future, get hold of this
>book. I got it from the community library. The book is copyrighted in
>2001, so the information is very up-to-date. Dr. Vliet has two
>successful womens' practices in Tucson and Texas. She has spent her
>life with weight problems and has dedicated her career to researching
>just how women's hormones play a role in weight and also total health
>and well-being. She explains each hormone very thoroughly. She tells
>what are the best tests to be done to measure each of them and then
>tells optimal levels for many of them that she has found through her
>clinical practice. She talks about PCOS, thyroid, insulin resistance,
>and many other issues important to people on this forum. She talks
>about tests to insist on that most doctors won't even mention to you.
>She talks about birth control pills. She talks about post-menopause.
>Through reading this book I decided to ask for some basic hormone levels
>that I never would have asked for, and found that a couple of them are
>too low, and that is probably why I have not been feeling myself for
>over a year now. I now have a glimmer of hope I didn't have before.
>Please, read the book, and if you have any questions about it feel free
>to ask me on the forum.
