Saira Hameed

Hormones animate every aspect and every moment of our lives, controlling our milestone moments as well as our day-to-day emotions and behaviour. Dr Saira Hameed is one of the UK's leading endocrinologists and in Signals she invites us into her clinic to see the lives interrupted by misfiring hormones and 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. Signals takes us on a journey inside our bodies to reveal the spectacular endocrine life force at work. Combining compassionately told patient histories, with stories of pioneering medical breakthroughs and addressing common misconceptions and 'hormone hacks', this is a vital book for anyone who wants to understand their health and their happiness and to appreciate the wonder that to be human is to be hormonal too.

Hormonit hyvinvointimme takana. Hormonit säätelevät meitä joka hetkellä: mielialaa ja stressitasoa, verensokerin muutoksia, ruokahalua ja painoa, libidoa, energiatasapainoa sekä uni-valverytmiä. Hormonit muodostavat elimistön kommunikaatioverkoston. Ne ohjaavat hedelmöittymistä, rakentavat uuden ihmisen kohdussa, käynnistävät murrosiän, vaihdevuodet ja muut elämään kuuluvat vaiheet. Saira Hameed yhdistää kerronnallisessa tietokirjassaan lääketieteen, historian ja myötätuntoisesti kerrotut potilastarinat. Hän osoittaa, että hyvien tapojen tai tahdonvoiman sijaan hormonimme ohjaavat meitä. Hormonien voiman tunnistaminen on avain terveyden ja onnellisuuden ymmärtämiseen. Lääkäri ja tietokirjailija Saira Hameed on erikoistunut endokrinologiaan eli ihmisen hormonien ja umpirauhasten toimintaan. Hänen esikoisteoksensa The Full Diet (2022) oli Isossa-Britanniassa huikea myyntimenestys.
