How hormones rule our lives - Edinburgh

Delve deeper into how hormones, lifestyle choices and environmental factors can combine to affect not only our own health, but also that of our children. The evidence is staring us in the face: obesity in the developed world is at an all time high, and infertility affects 1 in 4 couples in Europe.

What is going on and, more importantly, is there anything we can do about it?
