Hormone Powered: The Ultimate Guide to Radiant Health in Your 20s, 30s, 40s, and Beyond - Hardcover

by Corina Dunlap (Author)

Optimize your hormones to solve health challenges like anxiety, depression, and fatigue

Struggling with anxiety, depression, fatigue, brain fog, irregular periods, low libido, or weight changes? These aren't isolated problems--they're often signs of one underlying issue: hormonal imbalance.

Hormone Powered is a groundbreaking resource that empowers women to harness their hormonal health for enhanced vitality and well-being. Unlike books that focus solely on period health or menopause, it empowers women to proactively manage their hormonal health before, during, and after perimenopause--for a smoother transition and better health at every stage.

Licensed naturopathic doctor and researcher Dr. Corina Dunlap bridges the gap between conventional medical approaches and natural, evidence-based strategies, offering practical guidance on diet, lifestyle, botanicals, and supplementation. Whether you're open to medication or prefer natural solutions, Dunlap helps you understand all your options so you can make empowered choices.

Inside, you'll learn:

• What hormones are, how they affect every system in your body, and what happens when levels are off
• How to identify your Hormone Type and the imbalances most likely affecting you
• Which lab tests matter and how to interpret your results
• How to advocate for yourself at your next doctor's appointment

Dunlap also guides you in building your personalized Hormone Action Plan--targeting root causes through stress management, nutrition, sleep, movement, and community, not just supplements or medication.

Hormone Powered is essential reading for women ages 20 to 40 and beyond, as well as healthcare professionals and wellness coaches who support women's health.

Dr. Corina Dunlap, a licensed Naturopathic Doctor with a postdoctoral residency in women's health and endocrinology, and a two-year research fellowship at the Helfgott Research Institute, draws on more than a decade in clinical practice and peer-reviewed publications to address a critical disparity: according to The Lancet Public Health journal, women live longer than men but spend 25% more of their lives in poorer health due to biological and hormonal factors. Hormone Powered connects evidence-based strategies with natural approaches to help women proactively manage their hormonal health during the critical window of reproductive age to menopause.

Rather than focusing narrowly on period health or menopause alone, Hormone Powered offers guidance on diet, lifestyle, botanicals, and supplementation to address common hormonal issues across a woman's reproductive years and beyond. The book equips readers to understand their own hormonal rhythms and use that knowledge to improve daily health outcomes and health span. Each chapter provides actionable strategies grounded in current research, giving women the tools to optimize well-being before, during, and after perimenopause.

A 2023 Forbes article reported that 29% of women who had seen a healthcare provider in the prior two years said their doctor had dismissed their concerns. Hormone Powered responds directly to this frustration, providing readers with the clinical knowledge to advocate for themselves and take their hormonal health seriously. The book reduces reliance on pharmaceutical interventions alone by presenting accessible, natural medicine approaches supported by medical evidence and clinical experience.

Written for women in their 20s, 30s, 40s, and beyond who experience anxiety, fatigue, brain fog, irregular periods, depression, low libido, weight changes, and other hormonal challenges, Hormone Powered provides a research-backed roadmap for reclaiming health through natural and integrative strategies. Healthcare professionals, wellness coaches, and educators working with women will also find this a reliable, evidence-based resource to support their clients' hormonal well-being across every stage of reproductive life, midlife, and beyond.
