Dr. Susan Rako has brought her groundbreaking message about the miraculous benefits of testosterone--the female hormone--to women and physicians around the world via Oprah!, Dateline NBC, the New York Times, the Congress on Women's Health, and the Today show, among others.          Dr. Rako is at the forefront of the research into testosterone replacement therapy, educating women and their doctors about the essential role testosterone plays in a woman's sexual and physical well-being.          Millions of women experience a traumatic loss of sexual desire during menopause. Dr. Rako's breakthrough research has brought to light the fact that the female body produces significant amounts of testosterone that are crucial to the healthy functioning of every woman's libido--linking decreased testosterone levels at the onset of menopause to diminished sex drive--as well as to the health of her bones and heart.          In this rev...

Rako's memoir is also terrific!, 2008-05-22 I can recommend That's How the Light Gets In: Memoir of a Psychiatrist as a great read. The title comes from a song by Leonard Cohen: "There is a crack, a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in." The book is fascinating and wonderfully well-written. The writing simply flows. 2 of 4 found this review helpful: Informative book, 2005-10-17 Dr Rako, a psychiatrist, offers a personal and sensitive view of the sex lives of women as they approach menopause. She speaks directly to the reader in clear and concise language and validates a woman's need for sexual function throughout her life. She offers useful suggestions to restore a woman's sexual response. This is an important book for women who have lost the ability to function sexually as a result of ovarian failure (menopause). 1 of 3 found this review helpful: Every woman should read this book, 2005-09-17 Every woman should read this book to learn the truth about not just estrogen but testosterone hormonal changes she can expect or is having. General qnd OBGYN doctors should recommend this book. 12 of 14 found this review helpful: The Hormone of Desire, 2002-03-21 Thank you so very much for writing this book and getting the word out to all of us! I sincerely thought that the symptoms that were gradually emerging and causing a negative effect on the quality of my life were a 'normal' part of aging. I was wrong! After reading the book and highlighting the parts that I felt pertained to me, I leant it to my doctor. After reading it, he agreed to try testosterone replacement therapy. I feel like a new woman and my husband is going to send my doctor flowers! 90 of 91 found this review helpful: Finally a book (too short), for women's vital energy!!, 1998-11-28 I was happy to find a book that took into consideration not only a womans libido, but also the positive effects on bone density, loss of vital energy, fatigue, heart, diminished sense of well being, reduction in muscle tone, atrophy, inability to climax, incontinence, etc.etc. Too many doctors are ready to put women on anti-depressants feeling that these things are mostly psychological rather than hormonal in going through the menopause. Susan Rako says Testosterone may be the key!!! Its been known for years what the lack of, can do to men, but it seems women have been ignored. Plus I liked the fact that Susan speaks from her own personal experience. I was thrilled to find this information and agree that it can make a tremendous difference. . This is a small book written fairly simply, but could have been more in depth and detailed, but definitely worth the reading. D.T.
