by Eugene Shippen (Author) Book Review ingredients
The book The Testosterone Syndrome: The Critical Factor for Energy, Health, and Sexuality--Reversing the Male Menopause primarily talks about how using testosterone therapy can enhance sexual drive in ageing men, reduce cardiovascular conditions as well as improve mental functions and enhance energy as well.
Factual data
The book brings in a refreshing perspective on the subject of testosterone replacement as a therapy. Unlike earlier studies and research works which deal with the emotional aspect of the therapy and provide a lot of misinformation The Testosterone Syndrome: The Critical Factor for Energy, Health, and Sexuality--Reversing the Male Menopause clearly explains the process and its side effects in a factual manner. The book in essence helps to cut through all the emotion and misinformation and delve down to the real facts. Using real world examples and factual references Eugene Shippen manages to convey his thoughts very clearly. Shippen conveys in an unbiased manner both the risks as well as testosterone through real world data.
The administration
In his book Shippen also talks about the administration of Testosterone. Unlike other books dealing with similar subjects which do not provide practical uses of testosterone therapy this book specifically states the methods of administering testosterone in therapy. Many previous references talk about administering only testosterone while in his book Dr. Shippen talks about combing testosterone along with growth hormone and estrogen with thyroid. In conjunction these substances work together to provide tangible benefits which most men experience almost instantly.
Touches upon an important truth
In today’s age a lot of people have been expressing interest in hormone therapy. It is because of the ultimate powerful effects that hormones have on our bodies – right from controlling physical appearance to the overall physiological effects as well. Testosterone is traditionally perceived as a purely male hormone which produces vital effects in only the body of a man. However, this is where the book The Testosterone Syndrome: The Critical Factor for Energy, Health, and Sexuality--Reversing the Male Menopause proves to be a clear eye-opener. It elucidates on how testosterone is vital for even women who have crossed the menopausal age. The book also touches upon how testosterone is responsible for heart functioning and preventing cancer, arthritis and other vital processes.
Other hormones
Instead of focusing on only testosterone and its effects Dr. Shippen also stresses on other hormones like the growth hormone, estrogen as well as others. Thus Dr. Shippen illustrates the fact that several hormones work in conjunction in order to produce positive aspects on our bodies.
Sufficient warning
Instead of merely discussing problems without touching upon specific treatments, Dr. Shippen manages to discuss both aspects comprehensively. This book is a veritable treasure trove of information for any endocrinologist who wishes to practice the hormone replacement therapy as outlined in the book. Besides this, the book also aims to overcome some of the popular myths as mostly found in this segment. The book also touches upon other areas where the lack of testosterone can result in debilitating life conditions.
Negatives
While the book surely provides plenty of practical information one aspect that this book is sorely lacking in is its practical implementation. It is more useful for a practicing doctor or therapist who already knows the subject well. For laypersons the book provides plenty of information but does not give examples on how to put these theories into practice. Thus if you are looking for a self-help guide in this book you are in for a disappointment. However, in terms of the wealth of information and eye-opening content, this book is a surefire winner. On the whole, definitely worth a read!
