The Hormone Handbook
A Woman’s Guide to Hormonal Health from Puberty to Post-Menopause
By Dr Kirsty Black
Your hormones aren’t working against you—they are speaking to you. Are you ready to listen?
Too many women are told that feeling moody, exhausted, disconnected, stressed, sleep-deprived, or “just not themselves” is simply part of being female—or that the only answer lies in lifelong prescription medication. The result? Confusion, frustration, and a quiet belief that suffering is normal.
It isn’t.
The Hormone Handbook is a clear, compassionate, science-informed guide for women who want to understand what their hormones are doing—and how to support them—across every stage of life. From puberty to fertility years, pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, menopause, and beyond, this book helps you decode your body’s signals and make informed choices about your health.
Written by Dr Kirsty Black, a health professional with over two decades of clinical experience in women’s health, this book blends current research, integrative medicine, and practical lifestyle strategies in empowering, accessible language.
You May Be Struggling Persistent fatigue that doesn’t improve with rest
PMS, painful or irregular periods, hormonal acne, or heavy bleeding
Anxiety, irritability, low mood, or brain fog
Fertility challenges or confusion around contraception
Weight changes, sleep disruption, hot flushes, or night sweats
Feeling dismissed when told “your tests are normal” or “it’s just hormones”
Your symptoms are real—and they deserve thoughtful attention.
Inside This Book, You’ll ✔ How the female hormonal lifecycle works—from puberty to post-menopause
✔ Why perimenopause can feel like a “second puberty” and become a tipping point for long-term health
✔ The four phases of perimenopause and how hormone needs shift in each
✔ The roles of testosterone, insulin, and stress hormones in weight and energy changes
✔ How hormones interact with nutrition, gut health, sleep, movement, trauma, and emotional wellbeing
✔ What tests to request, how to interpret them, and why “normal” doesn’t always mean optimal
✔ How to speak confidently with your doctor about hormone therapy, including natural progesterone
✔ Evidence-informed approaches to symptoms such as night sweats, insomnia, migraines, anxiety, and heavy periods
✔ Strategies to reduce long-term risk of osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, and cognitive decline
What Makes This Book DifferentRather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution, The Hormone Handbook focuses on root causes, personalised care, and informed choice—exploring when lifestyle, nutrition, supplements, herbal support, or hormone therapy may be appropriate, alongside qualified healthcare providers.
This is not about fixing your body.
It’s about understanding it.
