Summary: Essential reading for stressed out Americans
Review: This book is an essential tool in helping people understand how stress can adversely effect their health. The author gives you a simple understanding of the negative effects of stress and cortisol. Most importantly he then gives you a practical and simple way to combat those negative effects. The thing I like most about the book is its ability to explain the very complex cortisol problems stress creates with simple terms and examples. I personally didn't think stress was a big factor in my life. However, I found myself saying, "that's why that happens!" or, "Wow, I better change that bad habit!" over and over again while reading the book.

Summary: For people who are stressed and can't lose weight
Review: This book is essential for anyone who is gaining weight and stressed and but alot of us do not realize how stress makes us fat. This book is me. It describes me and exactly the battle I have had for the last year and half with gaining weight and being so stressed out. Talbot has added to this book a new product called Cortislim that you can now buy and check out on the internet for more info. Go to Cortislim.com. I am alao implimanting alot of the other suppletments to help me deal with my stress and get the weight off and it has been working. For a year I have been searching for what the heck was wrong with me and why I was gaining alot of abdomenal fat mostly. Well for anyone else out there that cannot figure it out this book may be for you. I recommend it for anyone who is watching what they eat putting in their exercise time and not seeing zilch happen. This may be what is wrong. Too much cortisal causing havoc in your body.

Summary: Re-think stress in your life
Review: This book should be required reading for anyone who is balancing a career and family. Talbott helps you to identify that the many demands of your time/life are negatively impacting your health. Once I began to understand my stresses (it's more than just on-the-job pressure)and their effects on my health (cronic fatique, etc), the book then provides a sober and candid review of dietary supplements and how they can counter much of stres's impact on my health and life.

Summary: Practical suggestions that work!
Review: This book was great. The suggestions are practical enough that anyone can put them to use, yet powerful enough that they work. Talbott uses metaphors which help accentuate the importance of Cortisol control in an easy to understand and sometimes humorous way. I've been practicing Talbott's suggestions for two months and can definitely notice a difference. In today's high stress society this book will help just about anybody from the corporate businessman to the elite athlete.

Summary: An Outstanding Book
Review: This is one of the most helpful books I have ever read. The author has the ability to explain cortisol and the risks of a chronically elevated cortisol level in layman's terms. Anyone who is struggling with stress, fatigue, or a problematic appetite must read this book. If you follow the book's advice, you will experience an amazing improvement in your quality of life.The book is an informative resource on dozens of vitamins, minerals, and supplements. I also liked the helpful daily food plans in the appendix. But, I think the most important aspects of the book is the author's overall message: (1) chronically elevated cortisol levels result in numerous health and "enjoyment of life" problems, and could ultimately set the stage for disease; (2) chronically elevated cortisol levels and associated problems are completely avoidable with awareness and behavioral changes.

Summary: Motivating read with great SCIENCE!
Review: Very simple to understand. Stress is the killer. Control the stress in your life through various sources and create change.
The program follows a SENSE approach (S = stress management, E = exercise, N = nutrition, S = supplements, and E = evaluation) and the underlying premise is that by controlling cortisol (stress hormone), you can normalize many aspects of metabolism to help you lose weight. BRILLIANT.
Everyday I feel stress just driving around or rushing through projects at the office. Life is crazy now...but this book unlocked some secrets for me.

Summary: FRAUD!
Review: Warning!! Talbott and Cynaumon are con artists! Corti-Slim is utterly worhtless. Do Not waste your money.
