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.
