New York Times bestseller
Bestselling author Dr. Sara Gottfried shares a new, female-friendly keto diet that addresses women’s unique hormonal needs, so readers can shed pounds and maintain the loss more easily.
It’s no surprise that most diet plans don’t work for women—most health studies are based on men instead of women, so women have no choice but to follow plans that were created by and for men. The trouble is: women’s bodies don’t work the same way. Popular programs can actually make it harder for women to lose weight, because they can wreak havoc on a woman’s complex and delicate hormonal system.
New York Times bestselling author Dr. Sara Gottfried has spent her career demystifying hormones and helping patients improve their health with personalized medicine. In Women, Food, and Hormones, she presents the Gottfried Protocol, a science-based, road-tested plan designed to reset and balance your hormones and accelerate fat loss. Featuring a female-friendly fasting protocol and ketogenic diet that’s tailor-made for women, the Gottfried Protocol is designed to:
Work with, not against, women’s hormones—unlike other keto plans. Improve detoxification and blood sugar levels while decreasing stress, hunger, and cravings. Target belly fat and reduce inflammation.Increase levels of key anti-aging hormones.
Complete with essential troubleshooting tips and more than 50 delicious and filling recipes, Women, Food, and Hormones is your all-in-one-guide to hormonal balance and a healthy new you.

Thorough information
I loved reading this book as it was such a scientific deep dive into women’s hormones and how food affects our systems!

This Is The Book We’ve All Been Waiting For!!!
I’ve been anxiously awaiting the arrival of this book for months! I have had some success with Keto diet and felt a million times better on it than I thought I could feel now that I’m in my fifties and post-menopause.But I was not getting the results I had hoped for or read about online.Well THIS BOOK EXPLAINS IT ALL! I finally have the “golden ticket” to my weight loss goals and how to manage my hormones(feelings).I stayed up all night reading it to the end and loved it! I feel heard, seen and as though I’ve had an insight into what’s been going wrong with my attempts to lose weight and feel normal again. And best of all the path to fix it!I love Dr. Sara and have read all her previous books, but this time around it feels like she really put herself in the mix and tried it all as a scientist/doctor to figure out what the heck goes on with our hormones, and how what we eat plays a vital role in how we feel, look, respond, and get healthy! Thank you so much!A must read for any woman who hasn’t been able to unlock the secrets of managing weight loss and hormones.

Mixed Feelings
I was excited to find this book and to read this book. Things make sense when you read but then they don’t. I am very familiar with Keto lifestyle and was excited to tweak it towards my hormones. However, this is rather frustrating to finish the book and not to have a plan. I am apple, so.. what do i eat today? The cover states 4 week plan. There is no plan. Just very vague suggestions. Recipies are also confusing and not easy. I am not regretting reading the book but never felt more confused about what I should actually eat today.

Highly Recommend – Life-Changing and Empowering!
I’m currently in week 4 of following Dr. Godfrey’s Hormones book, and I’m already down 16 pounds! At first, it felt a bit complicated to figure out, but once I purchased the tools and items I needed and got into the routine, it became surprisingly simple. If I can do it, anyone can!This book is not just about weight loss—it’s a valuable resource for anyone looking to reset their hormones, navigate menopause, or improve their overall health. Even if weight isn’t a struggle, the insights and strategies are incredibly helpful. I absolutely recommend this book to every woman. It’s truly empowering and has been a game-changer for me!

Book needs work – Haven’t tried the diet yet
I am 47, about 25 pounds overweight, and I am gearing up to begin my 4+ weeks of this protocol so I do not yet know if it will be effective. However, I have to say that the book itself is somewhat frustrating.The first half of the book reads a lot like an advertisement for the book. Lots of anecdotes of success stories. Lots of comparisons to other diet ideologies. There is a strong sense of leading up to a big reveal of the protocol itself. Then when she finally does, it really should have been organized into a few pages of charts instead of spread out and sprinkled with anecdotes. The whole time I was suspecting that the disorganization of the book was perhaps to obfuscate the simplicity of the concept or the fact that her protocol is not that original. I started to take notes along the way so that I could bring together the essential information in a more organized way. When you get to recipes, there are no macronutrients listed. Upon finishing this book, I really needed another week to research nutrition facts on a list of foods and try to make a meal plan that would somehow add up to the ketogenic ratio, maximums and minimums of fats, proteins and net carbs, and a target calorie count. This is decreasing my confidence in proceeding with the diet but I think I will still give it a try. I will amend this review once I have gone through the protocol itself.

Great Hormone Reset and Habit Changer!
I love this book and the information in it is very helpful. I have done Keto before and was very loose with it but the Gottfried protocol pinpoints specifics for women and it is just a 4 week minimum reset, not keto forever which I like a lot. Dr. Gottfried guides step by step on how to teach/train your body to have metabolic flexibility which I think is key for everyone, especially people over 40 (ability for your body to use both carbs and fat as energy). I’m in week three and feel awesome, thinking clearer and have a lot of energy, oh and I’ve lost 6 lbs in fat only. I’ve been strict with it, following all the tips and tricks to a T because I was ready to do it and do it right! Thank you Dr. Gottfried!!

A must-read for feeling better and making diets work for YOU
I’ve been eagerly awaiting the arrival of Dr. Gottfried’s newest book, and it has not disappointed! I love how she utilizes her medical background to formulate meal plans and weight loss strategies, ensuring that your plan is sustainable and works for YOUR body. I’ve definitely fallen victim to the ‘keto craze’ and Dr. Gottfried explains perfectly why the male-centric diet hasn’t worked for me (and many other women!), and then outlines a revised program specifically designed for women’s hormonal and metabolic needs. I truly think this book will revolutionize the way we approach weight loss and diet culture.The recipes look delicious, and I love Dr. Gottfried’s witty, nonjudgemental writing style. It truly feels like a conversation, and it’s clear that she’s passionate about helping women lead healthier, happier lives.

Sollte jede Frau lesen, die gesundheitsbewusst denkt. Ganz viele wertvolle Hinweise. Man kann sich selbst schon viel helfen wenn man bewusst lebt.

Very useful information lost weight as well
Andrea Giberovitch –
Dr. Sara Gottfried is a brilliant doctor and author. I trust her 100% to deliver accurate, science-based information. Her newest book, “Women, Food and Hormones” is a must-read for anyone who wants to successfully lose weight and keep it off. She explains the important roles detoxification, blood sugar balance, and hormones (like those that control hunger and cravings) play when it comes to weight loss (and why some diets work and others don’t). If you want to lose weight, but you’re struggling, this book is for you. If you’re in perimenopause or menopause (or any stage of life) and you want to feel like your old self, this book is for you. If you’re looking for a specific meal-plan with delicious recipes, this book is for you. I highly recommend it!
