' Signals is a special book, a witty, utterly fascinating guide to who you are and how you work . . . It's compassionate, humane and grounded in the author's deep clinical experience. A true gift.' Chris van Tulleken, author of Ultra-Processed People
Dr Saira Hameed is one of the UK's leading endocrinologists. In Signals, she invites us into her clinic to see the profound impact of misfiring hormones and shows us how fixing the problem recalibrates a life. We sit beside Dr Hameed as she hears stories from spirit-sapping exhaustion to agonising infertility, absent libido to frenzied disorientation. We see an emaciated girl who is close to death and another battling obesity. We meet a young boy who can't stay awake and a teenage girl a whose racing heart will not be able to keep going much longer.
Hormones animate every aspect and every moment of our lives. This is a vital book for anyone who wants to understand their health and their happiness.
'A fascinating insight into the real-world mystery-solving of the doctor's clinic, and discoveries past and present.' Mishal Husain
