Description

*A Waterstones Best Popular Science Book of 2024*

‘Reveals how little the Everyman understands about the extent of their powers’
New Statesman

Hormones are the messengers that drive every process in our body. They shape how we grow, fight disease and digest food; why we struggle to sleep, lose weight and manage stress – and so much more. When our hormones are imbalanced this can wreak havoc on our health, and yet we know so little about them.

In this eye-opening book, international hormones expert Dr Max Nieuwdorp reveals the crucial role that hormones play from our early years through to old age, exploring how they influence our daily habits, moods, relationships and even decisions. Combining cutting-edge science with fascinating human stories, this book will transform the way we understand our bodies. It will also provide a new blueprint for rebalancing our hormones for better health.

‘A deep and fascinating look into a critical aspect of what makes us human and points the way to becoming our better selves’
Dr Brian Goldman, author of The Night Shift

‘Dr. Nieuwdorp has written an essential guide to human hormones . . . a joy to read’
Leslie Schrock, author of Fertility Rules

Publisher Review

‘Every page of this book is fascinating, glorious, and profound. This is one of the great frontiers of science for our age. So much of who we are comes down to the ebb and flow of hormones moving through our body’

— Daniel M. Davis, author of ‘The Beautiful Cure’ and ‘The Secret Body’ ‘In The Power of Hormones, Professor Max Nieuwdorp has written a delightfully readable book on how hormones shape our bodies and our minds. It’s a deep and fascinating look into a critical aspect of what makes us human and points the way to becoming our better selves’ — Dr. Brian Goldman, host of CBC Radio’s ‘White Coat, Black Art’, author of ‘The Night Shift’ and ‘The Power of Kindness’, and ER doctor ‘Debunks the myths which are making the rounds in self-help books’ * de Volkskrant * ‘Finally, there is a book worthy of the hormone’s great, and frequently misunderstood, power. Dr. Nieuwdorp has written an essential guide to human hormones that is equal parts history, science, and stories from the front lines – and is a joy to read’ — Leslie Schrock, author of ‘Fertility Rules’ ‘The Power of Hormones reveals how little the Everyman understands about the extent of their powers’
