Mastering Cortisol: Stop Your Body's Stress Hormone from Making You Fat Around the Middle

by Marilyn Glenville

Book Overview

Mastering Cortisol explains why the fat that collects around the middle of the body can't simply be blamed on eating too much or not exercising enough. The real cause is stress, which triggers an imbalance of the hormone cortisol that in turn tricks the body into creating unnecessary belly fat. It's all part of the fight-or-flight response dating back to the caveman that tells the body to store up fat in times of peril. But the cycle can be stopped: Mastering Cortisol details specific ways to counter the cortisol with a tailor-made exercise plan that will slim the belly. Based on breakthrough genetic tests, the program also recommends specific vitamins and minerals and explains which foods will work best for the reader.

Great Book!

I disagree with thee other review. I borrowed this book from my local library & this is a pretty good book packed with good information. If anyone out there suffers from adrenal fatigue like me, I reccommend this book "Adrenal Fatigue" by James Wilson. This is another great book about adrenal fatigue. I also suggest that if you have adrenal fatigue, you should see a holistic medicine/naturopath doctor because they run blood test that checks hormones thats imbalanced, and they look for the root cause for your medical issue. If you go and see a western medicine doctor (M.D.), their test is different. They set a standard on their test, and it won't pick up disease if you are in the EARLY stages. It will pick it up only if you are in the LATE stage of disease. They do this because the pharmaceutical companies fund them and sometimes their education so that you use chemical drugs to mask only your symptoms, and not fix the real root problem of disease. Don't forget the M.D.'s get paid by the pharmaceutical company every time they write you that prescription. You can be skeptical and not believe this and learn the hard way, or you can go and see a natural medicine doctor/holistic doctor to truly heal & learn how to eat better OR continue to take chemical drugs by these pharmaceutical companies with severe side effects that you WILL discover down the road. IT'S UP TO YOU, IT'S YOUR CHOICE! YOU CHOOSE.
