So--how can you really lower your stress levels, lose weight, keep it
off and protect your health?
The first edition of The Cortisol Connection signaled a revolution in
our understanding of the effects of stress hormones like cortisol, and
explained the relationship between chronic stress, high levels of
cortisol and the breakdown of the body's health reserves. In his
carefully designed SENSE Program (Chapter 9), Dr. Shawn Talbott
presented simple guidelines for reducing stress, lowering cortisol
levels, improving long-term health and reaching and main-taining desired
weight.
Research in the last five years has shown that there is more, and this
new edition contains 25 percent new material, including
- #3;new biochemistry research, an updated stress self-test and a
weight-reduction plan
- #3;two new chapters about the relationships between cortisol and
testosterone and cortisol and HSD, the body's fat-storage enzyme, that
show the big part they play in stress response and weight gain
- #3;refinements of the SENSE program based on controlled studies with
patients who have used it for over 5 years
Dr. Talbott has long maintained that lowering cortisol is as impor-tant
to health and longevity as lowering cholesterol. This book explains why.
With the information in this book, you can start NOW to reduce stress,
lower cortisol levels, avoid weight gain and take more control of your
health.
