Publisher's Synopsis
A proven and powerful, cutting-edge, 7-day programme that can counter the effects of chronic stress to help people: · restore balance in the body · improve mental/physical energy · reduce fatigue · alleviate depression · sharpen mental focus · lose weight · manage their risk of diabetes, cancer and heart disease Millions complain of feeling tired, stressed or depressed. They are lacking in something that psychology researchers call "Vigour." Vigour is defined as "a 3-tiered sustained mood state characterised by physical energy, mental acuity and emotional well-being." Vigour is a true measure of wellness because it encompasses much more than simply feeling energetic or being in a good mood or having a sharp mind. People with high levels of vigour are those can-do individuals who get things done - they're motivated. For many people, however, vigour is a state that they have not experienced in many years. Chronic stress plays a major role in disrupting vigour. Talbott explains that we can dramatically reduce stress, cut fatigue and improve vigour by achieving Oxidative Balance, Stress Hormone Balance, Blood Sugar Balance and Inflammatory Balance which he refers to as the "Four Pillars of Health." His approach to achieving this is similar to the highly practical and approachable nutrition and supplementation plan in his earlier book, The Cortisol Connection, but is based on his last ten years of research helping people feel and perform better. The "Four Pillars of Health" - Oxidation balance, Glycation balance, Inflammation balance and Metabolic balance - are closely linked and affect each other. The programme in this book addresses each in turn and, also, describes how to monitor them all and keep them working together.
