Thanks to Netgalley for a copy to review.
When I started reading this book, I found out it might be more helpful to me than I thought. Struggling with cortisol and hormonal issues is hard, because it asks for changes in a lot of aspects in life and isn't just solved with a pill. The start of the book is great in explaining the issues related to hormone imbalances and how the body works. Interesting to know, though some weren't relevant to me so I skipped them.
I did find a lot of repetition in the book. The author keeps talking about intermittent fasting and food but it's only at the end of the book we get to that.
I do highly believe in the strenght of diet and the effect of your lifestyle on your body. The author goes in on all those aspects, though it does sound quite standard and repetitive. I'm told to sleep for 8+ hours and not stress, but easier said than done.
I'm probably going to take some things from the diet part of this book. Learning about the effects of different foods was interesting and I'd like to implement changes in my diet according to that. Though I'm not sure about the entire plan, which consists of intermittent fasting as well. That's also basically what most of the book is about.
Overall it was okay. It's a lot of obvious changes to make that are promoted everywhere, but it was nice to have it all in one place. It'd be better if there was less repetition and just having every chapter focus on one thing without hinting to the other the whole time. If you're new to the concept of imbalances and you're reading this, it'll be eye-opening. Though when you're already familiar with it there's not a lot of news to you.
