A Woman’s Ultimate Playbook for Peri/Menopause And More!
The Book of Hormones takes a bold and refreshing look at how hormonal health has been misunderstood and mistreated by doctors for years.
This book isn’t just a guide—it’s a call to action
My name is Dr. Shweta Patel and I am a board certified OB/GYN with nearly 15 years of clinical experience.
If you're reading this, I’m going to assume a few things are true:
You’ve been feeling off—physically, mentally, emotionally—but you’ve been told, “Your labs are normal.”
You’ve got hot flashes and night sweats leaving you drenched, sleepless and exhausted.
You're gaining weight, losing hair, and feel like an emotional time bomb.
You've been told to try exercising more, eating less, sleeping more, stressing less and even trying Yoga and anti-depressants; but it hasn't worked.
You’ve been dismissed, misdiagnosed, or reminded that this is a "natural" part of getting older, more times than you can count.
The real reason that your labs keep coming back “normal”…
The real reason you’re gaining weight (even when you’re eating less and moving more)…
The real reason your doctor hasn’t mentioned any of this…or worse, dismissed it as " normal" or "natural"
And most importantly: You’re not crazy. You’re not lazy. And you’re definitely not alone
Say goodbye to confusion! This book breaks down complex hormone science into easy-to-digest, practical advice
Decades of misconceptions exposed— actionable safety protocols, and when (and how) to use HRT to feel like yourself again
A holistic, step‑by‑step playbook—so you can stop guessing and start feeling the best you ever have
You want to lose the hormonal weight and feel better in your clothes
Your want your energy and vitality back
You want to have mental clarity and feel in control of your emotions
You want better sleep, better sex, and feel overall better than you have before
You want a No B.S, Real Talk, Real Results road map on how to get there
WOMENS HEALTH INITIATIVE STUDY (WHIS)
💥 Doctors panicked. Women were taken off hormones overnight
💥 Even today, many doctors STILL won’t prescribe them
But here’s what they didn’t tell you:
🚨 The WHI study wasn’t even about treating menopause - it was about disease prevention
🚨 The women studied were, on average, 63 years old - NOT women just entering menopause
🚨 Newer research proves hormone therapy is safe and even BENEFICIAL for many women
Yet many doctors still don’t know this
This is EXACTLY WHY I wrote THIS BOOK
For years since, women have gone through the same cycle:
👉 Feel awful → 👉 Go to the doctor → 👉 Told it’s “just stress” → 👉 Leave with no answers.
But here’s the truth:
❌ This is NOT just aging
❌ It is NOT just stress
❌ And it is NOT in your head
And it's time we flip the script and do something about it

What I liked most about this book is the chapter that summarizes the natural and medical treatments. It makes it easy to reference remedies for various symptoms of menstruation and menopause. Patel wrote about prevention, holistic methods, and many different medical treatments. This book stands out from other health books because the author provides a fitness routine and explains what happens to your hormones during different types of exercises. Readers will understand why their bodies are changing and learn several ways to improve their mental and physical health"
