It is still almost like a secret: Women often experience illnesses differently than men. Certain diseases, such as autoimmune disorders, eating disorders, or sleep disorders, affect them much more frequently and often at different times in their lives. Common ailments like heart attacks or depression present different symptoms in women than in men. Gender research is increasingly bringing this to light: complaints, symptoms, or disease progressions can be entirely different in women, which is why they often require different medications, dosages, or therapies to achieve health than previously known. Dr. med. Franziska Rubin takes a journey through the groundbreaking findings of gender medicine for this book and examines how this knowledge could already enrich the modern treatment of women. Additionally, the expert in natural medicine recommends holistic treatment approaches for women. Her belief is that the best medicine for women is a combination of individualized academic medicine with the best natural therapies, plus home remedies and lifestyle tips to facilitate healing.
