The Stress Hormone Connection
The Untold Truths of Women’s Midlife Health and How to Make Sense of the Changes

This book reveals the important connection between stress hormones and sex hormones during midlife, a time when hormonal changes and life’s pressures combine to affect women’s health in ways that are often overlooked. Drawing on decades of clinical experience and scientific research, author and gynecologist Dr Hilde Löfqvist explores how these hormonal interactions affect the immune and nervous systems, mental health, and well-being during perimenopause, menopause, and beyond.

The Stress Hormone Connection brings together biological, psychological, and lifestyle perspectives, going beyond a narrow focus on menopausal symptoms. It offers evidence-based insights on hormone therapy, stress regulation, and reducing age-related risks, supported by over 200 scientific references.
