Millions of women today are facing mid-life with the same questions: Should I use hormone replacement therapy to decrease my risk of heart disease, osteoporosis and Alzheimer's disease? And, if I do, how do I know what to take or how much is right for me? Fortunately, now there is an answer. In Restoring Balance: An Individualized Approach to Hormone Replacement Therapy, authors Marla Ahlgrimm, R.Ph., and John Kells provide women with an exciting new solution. They have combined their scientific experience in the medical and pharmaceutical fields with their understanding of the unique hormonal needs of women who are concerned with PMS, perimenopause and menopause. They have developed a revolutionary new program of hormone level testing, natural bio-identical hormone replacement, individualized hormone doses and regular followups. Ahlgrimm and Kells recognize the importance of hormone replacement, but they are also keenly aware of the drawbacks of conventional treatments. Every woman is an individual, and her hormonal landscape is as unique to her as her fingerprints. A woman no longer has to accept the kind of "one-size-fits-all" prescription that is associated with disturbing side effects. She can choose an individualized hormone replacement program that is designed especially for her, that will minimize her hormonal discomforts and safeguard her long-term health. Restoring Balance gives women the information they need to make important decisions about hormone replacement. Mid-life doesn't have to be a time of uncomfortable symptoms and dead-ends. Instead, it can be an exciting time of transformation and opportunity. Restoring Balance tells women how to make that possible.

Enlarged prostate, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH), affects 50 percent of men over age 50, and 96 percent of men over age 80. BPH is characterized by frequent unination, getting up at night to urinate, slow urine flow, difficulty starting or stopping urination, and a sense that the bladder has not been completely emptied. 
Although BPH symptoms are common, they are not an inevitable part of aging. Protecting the Prostate tells you how diet, exercise, lifestyle, supplements, and herbal extracts, such as Pygeum africanum and stinging nettle, can promote a healthier prostate.
