Cortisol: The Master Hormone: Improve Your Health, Weight, Fertility, Menopause, Longevity, and Reduce Stress

Great book

Before reading this book I had no idea of how many things in our body come from cortisol. Author does a tremendous job highlighting all of the amazing things that Cortisol controls. Would highly recommend.

I’ve only read the first two chapters so far. It’ll definitely be great when there’s a phone app to check cortisol levels. Like many people, chronic stress has created hormonal havoc and extra weight for me.

While this book does offer a lot of information on the role of cortisol in the body, shoppers should know that the authors are also using it as a marketing device to drum up interest in a new app that they are in the process of creating. So it reads as part infomerical about their product, and part instruction on how cortisol works and its importance.

I am recommending this book my psychotherapy patients because it is so accessible. Chapter 11, on how t keep cortisol levels balanced was worth the purchase for me.

A friend sent this to me because I deal with insomnia, debilitating anxiety and had fertility issues. Not one doctor ever brought up Cortisol as a cause. Can't wait til these tests are on the market. Sign me up!!

Before reading this book I had no idea of how many things in our body come from cortisol, it is very interesting to have this kind of information for our day to day.

I have become interested in this topic as it relates to my overall health and when Amazon suggested it based on my searches, I did a quick read of the topics covered and purchased it. When I got the book and began reading it I realized that it was marketing for an application that measures cortisol levels. I will be returning the book.

I really didn’t understand very much about cortisol and hormones prior. I am reading this book in conjunction with another book Hormones In Harmony. If your into this topic, then understanding something about the hypothalamus is important and one should read, The Hypothalamus Reset Technique by Dr. Chance. This book on cortisol fills in some of the missing informational pieces that many readers will not posess. Take the time, read the book and supplement by further research.

This book is an expensive advertisement for their app. Although there may be useful information within the pages it's hard to separate this from the promotional push of the app. Too annoying couldn't finish the book and sent it back.

Very useful as I have some weight isssues. A must have!
