Description
After nearly two decades of medical practice, Obstetrician-Gynecologist Dr. Brent Bost is astounded by what medical school had not prepared him for: "The most common problems my patients complain about are not pregnancy, bleeding and pain as my formal medical training had led me to believe."

The board-certified physician says his patients' most common concerns are:

Fatigue
Weight gain
Low sex drive
Moodiness

One or more of these symptoms affects more than 50 million American Women, annually. The Hurried Woman Syndrome unravels the mystery by showing that these common complaints are part of a much larger problem-the Hurried Woman Syndrome-a disorder that's reached epidemic proportions in the U.S. Women who suffer from the Syndrome are typically between the ages of 25 and 55 and all have one thing in common-they lead busy lives attempting to fulfill many roles for many people.

"Stress is the main culprit behind the Hurried Women Syndrome," explains Dr. Bost, "and much of it is usually self-inflicted or, at least, could be managed better." In The Hurried Woman, Dr. Bost-named one of the Best Doctors in America by his colleagues-offers millions of Syndrome sufferers the first integrated plan for conquering fatigue succeeding at long-term weight management, and rekindling the sexual fire in their relationships. Dr. Bost's cure is flavored with plenty of real-life examples, a good dose of humor and a touch of spirituality.
