FOREWORD
Medicine is entering into a new era. In the coming century, health care will
be increasingly based upon hormonal control. This is because hormones are
orders of magnitude more powerful than drugs. More important, they can alter
the expression of our genes. In essence, improved hormonal control brings us to
the very core of human health.
I have had the pleasure of personally knowing Thierry for the past several
years, which makes me even more in awe of his ability to diagnose hormonal
disturbances in a wide variety of patients. As powerful as hormones are, it still
requires the practiced eye to look for key signs that blood tests often fail to
reveal. Thierry removes much of the mystery of hormonal interactions using
very clear and concise language that is based on an unbroken lineage of four
generations of endocrinologists in his family. Just as the great skills of craftsmen
are often passed from one generation to the next, the intricate skills of astute
observation of hormonal problems is likewise transmitted.
This is why this book is so valuable to both the physician and the layperson,
since the skills of diagnosis are now accessible to all. For the physician, this
means he will be better able to understand the complexities of chronic disease
from a new hormonal perspective. For the layperson, they will understand the
beginning signs that their hormonal communication patterns are becoming less
efficient years before this inefficiency manifests into various chronic disease
conditions. And for those with existing disease of unknown origin, this book
may provide the insights as to the real basis of their condition.
To control your hormones is to control your life. This book will give you the
tools to achieve that often elusive goal.
—Barry Sears, Ph.D.
PART I
HORMONES
CHAPTER ONE
WHAT HORMONES MEAN TO YOU
Your body contains more than one hundred different types of hormones,
and they pour into your bloodstream at the rate of thousands of billions of units
per day. Hormones regulate your heartbeat and your breathing. Hormones make
men men and women women. Hormones put you to sleep at night and wake you
up in the morning. They control your blood pressure. They build bone, maintain
muscle tone, and lubricate joints. Hormones govern growth. They make the
body produce energy and heat. Hormones burn fat. Hormones govern the
menstrual cycle and allow pregnancy (and birth) to occur. They fight stress,
prevent fatigue, calm anxiety, and relieve depression. Hormones make and keep
memories. Hormones maintain the correct level of sugar in the blood and
tissues. They resist allergic reactions and infections. They soothe pain.
Hormones control your sex drive, virility, and fertility. They stimulate your brain
and your immune system.
It is by no means an exaggeration to say that hormones are crucial to every
single function of the human body. You can’t live without them.
But in the environment we live in at the opening of this new millennium—and
particularly as we ourselves age—rarely do our bodies have the optimum levels
of hormones. So we don’t enjoy optimum health, whether that means arthritis or
heart disease or flagging sex drive or gray hair and wrinkles or out-of-control
weight gain. The program in this book, a combination of nutrition and hormone
balance, can bring anyone into optimal health. The Hormone Solution is not a
miracle cure or an empty promise. It is a reality. It is for anyone who feels tired
all the time. Or forgets things. Or isn’t sleeping well. Or feels more depressed
and anxious than he used to. Or who is at risk for osteoporosis or cancer—
among many, many other things. We’ve accepted these things as inevitable,
especially as we age. We didn’t like it, but we thought we had to live with it. But
we’ve been wrong.
