Hack Your Hormones: The Number One Sunday Times Bestseller

Product Information

Endorphins: These hormones are your body’s natural pain reliever, which your body produces in response to stress or discomfort. As women, our hormones can play a huge part in our overall health and wellbeing - but there are simple ways we can make them work in our favour. Here you want to eat foods that are high in protein which can help manage cravings by supporting your blood sugar balance. Most of us don’t think about our hormones much in daily life, we know they exist, we know teenagers experience changes due to hormones and if you’re someone who menstruates it’s likely you’ve been accused (rightly or wrongly) of being ‘hormonal’ at least once.

This groundbreaking new book is full of simple, accessible hacks that will make you feel not just better, but amazing.
