Reduce stress, manage your hormones and become happier and healthier with The Cortisol Fix Recipe Book
Cortisol is our "stress hormone" produced in the adrenal glands as a response to a perceived danger or threat. It helps our bodies reduce inflammation, regulate our sleep cycles, control our blood sugar and blood pressure levels and manage how we process carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.
While cortisol plays a vital role for us, chronic or prolonged stress can cause cortisol levels to rise too high, leading to weight gain, high blood pressure, poor mental health and several other physical health conditions over time.
This cookbook will show you how simple, fresh and nourishing whole foods can help you balance your hormone levels. Nutritionist Angela Dowden provides weekly meal plans and expert nutritional and lifestyle advice related to diet, sleep and mental health to help you develop healthy habits. With The Cortisol Fix Recipe Book you can prevent chronic stress and enjoy meals that help you feel your best.
