Over 2,500 years ago, Hippocrates advocated the personalisation of
"nourishment and exercise" as the "safest way to health". He knew
that our behaviours influence our health, but he did not know why.
This book explains the missing link: the crucial role played by our
hormones and what we can do to optimise them. Hormones set in
motion the physiological processes that keep us alive, bringing our
DNA to life by directing gene expression. Hormones are the
protagonists in the interaction between lifestyle and health. We
can harness our hormones positively to optimise health through our
choice of behaviours. Conversely, mistiming between our actions and
internal hormone biological clocks can derail the intricate
interactions of hormone networks. For example, in relative energy
deficiency in sport (RED-S). This book reveals the clandestine
world of hormones, navigating the path to achieving full personal
potential, through the different stages of life. This is relevant
for both men and women, whatever your objectives, whether you are a
high-level athlete; looking to improve health and fitness; seeking
to understand hormone disruption; or meeting the challenges of
physiological changes in hormones during life such as perimenopause
and menopause. Practical tips and "hormone stories" provide
actionable advice and real-life examples of how to tune in to your
hormones and maintain hormone health. As the human lifespan
extends, it becomes ever more desirable to remain healthy into old
age. Understanding how and why your choice of lifestyle affects
your hormones empowers you to take informed decisions to improve
your personal health. A life-long, healthy mix of exercise,
nutrition and sleep is open to anyone, at minimal cost.
