Proven Steps to a Calmer, Happier, Healthier You by Chenelle Lee Hitchcock

Proven Steps To a Calmer, Happier, Healthier You is a comprehensive, easy to understand guide, for people who take on too much, can't say no, are chronically tired, stressed, anxious or unwell - who want to improve their health and happiness. This engaging book teaches you how seemingly simple things- like overthinking, lack of sleep, poor eating habits, overwork or training, infections/illness, being a perfectionist – all cause your body to produce more stress hormones. You will learn what happens when you are producing stress hormones all day. For example, you may not know that your body produces more of the adrenal hormone, cortisol, when you experience chronic or ongoing stress, which can cause insomnia, lower sperm count, age you prematurely, increase your weight and weaken your immune system, leaving you vulnerable to disease. The author, Chenelle Hitchcock is a passionate educator and her goal is to empower the reader to use simple evidence based neuroscience tools, to create lasting behaviour changes and promote optimal healing. You'll learn how to reduce your anxiety by up to 60%, increase your energy by up to 45%, sleep better, set appropriate boundaries, say no, value yourself, take control of your finances, enjoy a healthy connection with your family and friends, eat healthy to stay calm, as well as the recommended health tests (from a contributing endocrinologist) if you are suffering from low energy levels. The last section of the book you will find a range of simple, easy to prepare, delicious breakfasts, lunches and dinners, all designed to produce a lower and steadier rise in blood glucose, which is less stressful to your body.
