"In this book, leading
reproductive specialist Dr. Ronald Feinberg provides a new way of
looking at the disorder, linking it to body wide metabolic irregularities,
insulin resistance, nutrition, activity, and stress-a combination
of health issues that collectively make up what he has termed "Syndrome
O." And this understanding brings new hope for overcoming it.
Written in a compassionate, inspirational, and motivational style,
Healing Syndrome O discusses the causes and complications of this
condition and provides a targeted plan to help women balance and repair
their overall health, overcome symptoms, and, especially, restore
their fertility." |
