The Metabolic Method

by Shawn Talbott

Six years ago, best-selling author Shawn Talbott, Ph.D. revealed to the world the role that chronic stress - and the subsequent production of the hormone cortisol - plays in promoting unwanted fat gain. Today, however, we know that although cortisol is still important to consider, it is clearly only a part of the hormonal and metabolic response to stress and weight gain. Based on his own groundbreaking clinical research, Dr. Talbott's new title, The Metabolic Method, describes the complex interplay between stress, cortisol (and other hormones/enzymes), diet and related body functions that ultimately lead to unhealthy weight gain - as well as low energy levels, depressed mood and other problems. Fortunately, Dr. Talbott's Metabolic Method program is not complex - in fact, it's a simple yet powerful program that can counter the effects of chronic stress.
