Hormone Optimization: Unlock Your Innate Ability to Burn Fat, Build Muscle and Feel Unstoppable (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798607645014)

Want to get into better shape?

You can forget about dieting, starving yourself or going full beast-mode at the gym 7 days a week. This book will explain how you can fix your hormone balance and create dramatic body composition changes. And the best part is that what's going to make you look better is also going to make you feel and perform better.

It's important to understand that hormones don't exist in a vacuum. They are a part of a larger whole. But hormones are a great shorthand for talking about all the things that need to happen for you to achieve specific health and fitness outcomes. There aren't any obese men in the world who also have a high testosterone and have a well-functioning insulin system. Correlation does not equal causation, but it doesn't really matter in this case. If you practice lifestyle habits that target raising your testosterone and keeping your insulin in check, you are on the right path towards weight loss and muscle building. And that's why hormones are useful. Think of them as signposts on your way to your goals. Weight loss and muscle gain are simply emergent side effects of having the correct hormone balance in the body.

Backed by research, full of references

In a world full of fake health news it can be hard to separate the wheat from the chaff. Thankfully the study of human hormones goes back decades and is not hard to interpret. There's a reason why pro athletes around the world are prone to use anabolic steroids: Hormones simply work. Injecting testosterone and growth hormone will make anyone stronger. But instead of exogenous hormone injections, this book will teach you to optimize your own innate natural production of these superhuman strength builders and libido-boosting sex hormones.
