Want to get into better shape? Take a minute and think about what changes happened to your body when you became a teenager: Girls got rounder in all the right places, and guys tended to get skinnier, but more muscular. Did these kids suddenly start working out and eating healthy? No, quite the opposite actually. The natural shift in hormone production changed their bodies even if the environmental factors weren’t favorable. That’s how powerful natural hormones can be.

You can forget about starving yourself or going full beast-mode at the gym seven days a week. This book will explain how you can easily create dramatic body composition changes by optimizing your own natural hormone balance. And the best part is that what’s going to make you look better is also going to make you feel and perform better. Improved hormonal balance will contribute to better sleep, turbo-charged immunity, and an overall improved outlook on life.

Regardless of your goals (more muscle, less fat, more energy, better health), being mindful of hormones first is a very powerful strategy. When you start looking at things like diet, exercise, sleep, mindfulness (and all the other buzzwords the health industry throws around) in the light of what they do to your hormones, the story starts to make a lot more sense. You don’t need to question if you should be doing this or that, or whether this vegan cupcake will make you fat. You’ll know how these different things will impact you because you’ll know what they do to your hormone balance. And suddenly losing weight and getting strong and healthy becomes way less stressful. You’ll have a systematic approach that makes sense. One that will still allow you to enjoy the things you love the most. I don’t care if you’re a vegan female or a carnivore male, the same fundamental principles will still apply.
