ABOUT THIS BOOK
In The Cortisol Connection, well-known nutritionist Dr Shawn Talbott explains why
lowering cortisol—the body’s major stress hormone—is as important to health and
longevity as lowering cholesterol. Using his carefully designed and easy-to-follow
SENSE (Stress management, Exercise, Nutrition, Supplementation and Evaluation)
cortisol-control plan, he shows you how to reduce stress, improve your long-term
health, lower your cortisol and avoid weight gain.
This book:
• explains how cortisol contributes to weight gain, depression, osteoporosis and
hypertension;
• includes a SENSE program that is based on controlled studies with patients
who have used it for over five years;
• includes new research on the connections between cortisol and HSD (the
body’s fat-storage enzyme), and cortisol and testosterone;
• contains a stress self-test and a weight-reduction plan.
