About the authorDr. Sara Gottfried studied bioengineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and is a graduate of Harvard Medical School. She did her residency at the University of California, San Francisco, where she trained for her career as a board-certified OB/GYN. She is also a wife, mother, nationally recognized yoga instructor, author, and founder and medical director of the Gottfried Institute in Berkeley, California. She hasresearched the endocrine system and the way that women’s bodies react to hormonal imbalances, including some female maladies commonly tossed off as “depression,” “overeating,” “stress,” or even just “getting old.” She has developed insights and groundbreaking theories about how these maladies can be treated and corrected by examining hormonal imbalances and addressing the issues on a molecular level rather than masking the symptoms with antidepressants and sleep medications.Inspired by the longevity and robust health enjoyed by her greatgrandmother, Mud (an abbreviated form of the German word Mutter, meaning “mother”), Gottfried has modified her gynecology practice to include integrative medicine. Sometimescalled “functional medicine” or “holistic health,” integrative medicine looks at the body as a whole rather than at the separate organs or systems, and strives to optimize the body’s moment-to-moment processes and functions before disease develops. “Dr. Sara” also leads online workshops for women, promoting natural hormone balance. She has combined Western medicine with Eastern remedies and practices, such as yoga, Ayurveda (Indian medicine), and Chinese medicine, producingpositive results. Her method, The Gottfried Protocol, is a three-step, evidence-based process for balancing hormones naturally and rapidly over a period of a few months or even weeks.Gottfried has been featured on 20/20, Fox News, and The Ricki Lake Show, in O, Natural Health, Cosmopolitan, Metropolitan Home, Glamour, Women’s World, the SanFrancisco Chronicle and the Huffington Post. She lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her husband and two daughters. Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Hormone-Cure-Minutes-Gottfrieds-Critic…
