Descubra como os hormônios podem mudar a sua vida Metabolismo, comportamento, sono, alterações de humor, sistema imunológico, força física, cansaço, puberdade e sexo: esses são apenas alguns dos aspectos controlados pelos hormônios em nosso corpo. Em Excitadx, a autora Randi Hutter Epstein nos conduz rumo a uma jornada surpreendente sobre os hormônios. Em meio a histórias curiosas e uma série de pesquisas que mais parecem narrativas de ficção científica, são apresentados os principais cientistas e seus achados que mudaram o entendimento sobre os desequilíbrios hormonais que nos afetam. Esta obra mostra como muitos mitos, mesmo sendo totalmente ultrapassados, são repetidos até hoje como verdades absolutas quando o assunto é reposição e alteração hormonal, e são abordadas ainda as funções de hormônios como leptina, ocitocina, estrogênio e testosterona.Epstein evidencia ainda a nossa natureza humana no cerne da ciência hormonal, com seu rico elenco de personagens, incluindo uma médica da década de 1920 que promovia vasectomias como uma maneira de aumentar a libido, uma estudante de medicina que descobriu um hormônio da gravidez na década de 1940 e uma mãe que colecionava pituitárias - uma glândula cerebral - de cadáveres como fonte de hormônio do crescimento para tratar seu filho. Indiscutivelmente, Excitadx expõe o lado chocante, mas ao mesmo tempo fascinante da história dos hormônios, além de proporcionar ao leitor uma generosa dose de excitação que somente essas poderosas substâncias químicas podem causar dos pés à cabeça, literalmente.
