A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Cortisol is the body's main stress hormone, prompting our fight or flight mechanism when dealing with a highly stressful situation, like being chased by a lion. However, the human body was made to deal with short bursts of stress (like being chased by a lion), not prolonged, continuous levels of stress (like mortgage payments, project deadlines and traffic jams). This kind of stress causes the body's cortisol levels to rise and scientific research has shown that high cortisol levels are associated with obesity, diabetes, fatigue and even Alzheimer's disease. This new edition of the CORTISOL CONNECTION describes the results of the latest research about the connection between cortisol and HSD, and cortisol and testosterone. If we keep cortisol and HSD and testosterone within normal ranges, we're able to maximize the metabolic effect of diet and exercise regimen and improve weight loss. In the first edition, Talbott introduced his 'SENSE' program that teaches participants how to manage stress and reduce cortisol levels. The program has been refined in the second edition with the help of the new research and the results of Talbott's test of the SENSE program over the past 5 years he knows it works. For the past 5 years, he has been actively researching (and refining and tweaking) this popular program to make it more and more effective in helping people to lose weight.
