In 2011, Dr. Edwards published her first book Adrenalogic: Outsmarting Stress which was the first evidence based review of its kind to debunk the myth of “adrenal fatigue”.  This best selling book provided its readers with not only the scientific reasons for how abnormal cortisol levels occur but also with the self-empowering tools with which they could maintain their health and prevent disease during times of stress.

​

In 2025, Dr. Edwards launched The Weight Loss After 40 Series.  Grounded in more than 25 years of clinical experience, Dr. Lena Edwards presents the Weight Loss After 40 series. This series flips the outdated—but still routinely touted—weight-loss script for women over 40, replacing guilt, guesswork, and generic advice with science, clarity, and long-overdue validation. Each volume builds on the last, guiding readers from understanding to revelation to transformation.

Instead of parroting the old “eat less, move more” mantra, this series exposes what’s really sabotaging metabolism after 40 and gives women the weight-loss roadmap they should have received years ago. No quick fixes, no one-size-fits-all advice—just the science behind the stall and the solutions their bodies have been searching for to escape Weight-Loss Wasteland.
