The year before she turned 40, two big things happened to Toronto’s Diane Hatch: she was promoted to a leadership role at a big Canadian bank, and her body began to revolt. She couldn’t sleep more than a few hours at a time. One strange symptom after another arrived: a burning tongue. Memory problems. Heart palpitations. Weight gain. The worst were what she called her “nuclear reactions”—heat bursts so intense that rivulets of sweat ran down her legs while she was giving presentations at work.
