"The Secret of Vigor: How to Overcome Burnout, Restore Metabolic
Balance, and Reclaim Your Natural Energy" is a proven and powerful,
cutting-edge, 7-day program that can counter the effects of chronic
stress to help people:
1. restore balance in the body
2. improve mental/physical energy
3. reduce fatigue
4. alleviate depression
5. sharpen mental focus
6. lose weight
7. manage their risk of diabetes, cancer and heart disease
Millions of North Americans complain of feeling tired, stressed, or
depressed.
Their daily routine is hectic and stressful, they suffer from
constant fatigue, rarely sleep well, continue to gain weight, and
at least occasionally are moody. In short, they are lacking in
something that psychology researchers call "Vigor."
Vigor is defined as "a 3-tiered sustained mood state characterized
by physical energy, mental acuity, and emotional well-being." Vigor
is a true measure of wellness because it encompasses much more than
simply feeling energetic or being in a good mood or having a sharp
mind. People with high levels of vigor are those can-do individuals
who get things done - they're motivated. For many people, however,
vigor is a state that they have not experienced in many years.
Chronic stress plays a major role in disrupting vigor. Talbott
explains that we can dramatically reduce stress, cut fatigue and
improve vigor by achieving Oxidative Balance, Stress Hormone
Balance, Blood Sugar Balance, and Inflammatory Balance which he
refers to as the "Four Pillars of Health." His approach to
achieving this is similar to the highly practical and approachable
nutrition and supplementation plan in his earlier book, "The
Cortisol Connection," but is based on his last ten years of
research helping people feel and perform better.
The "Four Pillars of Health" - Oxidation balance, Glycation
balance, Inflammation balance and Metabolic balance - are closely
linked and affect each other. The program in this book addresses
each in turn and also describes how to monitor them all and keep
them working together.
Oxidation balance - balancing the free radicals and antioxidants in
the body - is necessary to limit cell and DNA damage in every
tissue and organ in the body. We can control free-radical exposure
and the cellular oxidation (damage) that it causes through a
balanced dietary intake of antioxidant nutrients.
Glycation balance - balancing the inflammatory and
anti-inflammatory cytokines
- is needed to prevent sugar (glucose) molecules becoming attached
to protein molecules, inhibiting their normal functioning. Simple
nutritional steps to control blood sugar help to restore blood
sugar balance and reduce glycation throughout the body.
Inflammation balance - balancing insulin activity and blood glucose
levels.
Inflammation is a normal metabolic process with many
life-sustaining benefits. However, if it becomes overactive or
misdirected, our bodies can fall into a hyper-inflammatory state
leading to pain, stiffness, gastrointestinal problems, and brain
fog. Controlling inflammation also helps to balance oxidation,
glycation, and cellular stress.
Metabolic balance - correcting imbalance between cortisol and
testosterone.
Cortisol is the body's primary stress hormone. Cortisol
overexposure leads to a reduction in testosterone levels, and this
metabolic imbalance invariably leads to a cascading "domino effect"
of increase oxidaton, glycation, and inflammation. In many ways,
Metabolic Balance (the ratio between cortisol and testosterone) is
the "master controller" among the Four (metabolic) Pillars of
Health
What most of us understand as "aging" - wrinkling skin, thinning
hair, spreading waistlines, diminished sex drive and decreasing
mood and energy levels- is in fact basically a progressive fall in
our Vigor.
"The Secret of Vigor: How to Overcome Burnout, Restore Metabolic
Balance, and Reclaim Your Natural Energy" contains a "Vigor
Self-Test" for testing the reader's level of vigor, and Talbott
also suggests easy tips everyone can do to counteract stress such
as "leave the cellphone behind" or "get a pet," among others.
Perhaps most important is Talbott's 7-Day Vigor Improvement Program
(VIP) where he challenges readers to put their new knowledge to the
test through his SENSE approach: Stress management, exercise,
nutrition, supplements, and evaluation.
Burnout and chronic stress are epidemics in the United States. Both
conditions affect millions of men, women and children, and the
numbers of those affected are growing. "The Secret of Vigor: How to
Overcome Burnout, Restore Metabolic Balance, and Reclaim Your
Natural Energy" will help the reader combat these two conditions
and their complications. This 7-day plan for improving vigor has
proven results. Thousands of men, women and children have seen its
quick results.
