Cortisol Clarity: A Practical Guide to Understanding and Optimizing Your Stress Hormone [Audiobook]

An Empowering Journey Through the Cortisol Labyrinth in My Life. Decades ago, I was stuck in a cycle of poor health, mental distress, and stubborn belly fat. I did not realize that the root cause of my challenges was a single, powerful hormone: cortisol, which also made my body insulin-resistant. What began as theoretical knowledge from my training as a postdoctoral researcher in cognitive science and my work as an executive technology consultant in the healthcare sector became a deeply personal research journey. My academic understanding turned into lived experience, and the lessons I learned reshaped my understanding of this master hormone from multiple angles. In this guide, I share my personal journey, rigorous research, and collaborative efforts in simple language. After a thorough review of the scientific literature since the 1980s, I obtained insights from several endocrinologists specializing in cortisol's role in weight loss, stress management, and chronic health conditions. What You Will Learn from This Book: I designed this book to provide a clear, practical, and comprehensive understanding of cortisol—the stress hormone influencing nearly every aspect of your health. Based on decades of research, personal experience reversing cortisol-related challenges, and expert insights from endocrinologists, this guide offers the tools and knowledge you need to take charge of your health.
