Our hormones shape us at every stage of our lives, from the second we are conceived to the moment we breathe our last breath. They are essential to our immune system, sleep, digestion, hunger, stress levels, and so much more. When our hormone systems aren't functioning well, it wreaks havoc on our health and our wellbeing. Professor Max Nieuwdorp explores the role our hormones play from our early years through to puberty, pregnancy, and old age, combining stories from his day-to-day life treating his patients with the amazing, cutting-edge new science of hormones.
