I had been reearching cortisol from another angle recently @StanD ie thyroid and weight gain. am playing around w diet , trying to introduce more iodine in seaweed, nuts, berries etc. i have had massive wieght gain over last 5 years , also had thyroid op , but drs say oh levels normal.. apparently cortisol can mess things up while things still appear normal in basic tests

Very interesting @StanD 😀

Love to know more about it all

Thanks for starting this thread @StanD . I believe we have quite a few interested members! @PizzaMondo

Thank you very much for starting this thread @StanD, what a wonderful idea.

And thank you for sharing, I am studying trauma at the moment and have a very strong interest in complex trauma. So, thank you! I will definitely be asking my local bookshop to order a copy for me.

Hey there @StanD 🙂

Thanks for sharing, I have now downloaded the workbook to my kindle, and will be reading along with you.

I have the ability to use the workbook interactively on the kindle app, so it's just like having the workbook at home! 🙂

Thanks for starting a great thread, what you have mentioned already from the thread is very informative - there's loads to put together about how the body responds in moments of stressors, and over the longer term.

Looking forward to reading more about this, and the upcoming discussions we can have!

We have our @tyme and our @Jynx and our moderators here to keep an eye on things, which is awesome! I am not in that realm of things in terms of moderating, however we can always get in touch with them by tagging anytime 🙂 xx

Take good care and I hope you are having a lovely evening 🙂

Hi @StanD, thank you 🙂 very informative resource, take care.

Hey, I just downloaded this book to my kindle too. I hope that it helps everyone that has a go at reading it. Working on it at your own pace sounds like a good idea. Thankyou so much for drawing my attention to a book that I didn't know existed. I am fascinated about the cortisol aspect. I did have a blood test once, that showed ridiculously high levels of cortisol. I rarely get much sleep at all and my moods can be all over the place. So something I shall look into and discuss with my GP and psychiatrist. Thanks again. I really appreciate it.

ps to everyone. Sorry I am not very good at navigating this forum site.

You're doing a great job navigating the forum @Katz42 ! Thanks for popping by the Book Club Thread!
