Dr. Alicia Stanton, Chief Medical Officer of BodyLogicMD, releases her groundbreaking new book outlining the widely unknown, but significant connection between our diet and hormones and the effects it has on our overall health

Alicia Stanton, MD, Chief Medical Officer of BodyLogicMD, the nation's largest network of the most highly trained anti-aging physicians, announces the release of her debut book, "Hormone Harmony: How to Balance Insulin, Cortisol, Thyroid, Estrogen, Progesterone and Testosterone to Live Your Best Life." Co-authored with veteran health writer Vera Tweed, Hormone Harmony aims to guide women and men on a path toward achieving optimal health as they age by balancing hormones through proper nutrition, lifestyle and environmental changes. Published by Healthy Life Library, Hormone Harmony comes out September 30 and is available on Amazon.com.

"I have dedicated my practice to not only treating patients suffering hormonal imbalances, but helping patients achieve and maintain optimal health as they age," said Dr. Stanton. "We are living longer but ultimately more stressful lives. In the wake of the economic downturn, most of us literally can't afford to ?take it easy.? We have challenging careers and are multitasking as caregivers for our children and aging parents. All of these factors take a tremendous toll on our bodies, and the combination results in a disruption of hormonal balance."

In Hormone Harmony, Dr. Stanton breaks down all the factors that contribute to hormone imbalances. Many people know that hormones such as estrogen, progesterone and testosterone naturally decline with age. The most obvious manifestation of this occurs in women during menopause, but men also experience the effects of age related decline in hormone levels. Dietary, lifestyle and environmental factors greatly affect our hormonal health as well, but their impacts are less widely understood. In her book, Dr. Stanton outlines the lifestyle changes and treatment options available to restore hormone balance and achieve overall health and wellness.

Each chapter details the relationship between diet, stress, environmental toxins, exercise, and supplements and our bodies? hormones. Dr. Stanton offers realistic guidelines for adopting healthy habits in one's daily life. "This book provides the foundation for maintaining a healthy lifestyle that anyone can stick with long term," she said.

"My hope for this book is that readers will learn the impact hormones have on our entire bodies and how they can maintain hormonal balance and enjoy optimal health at any age."
