The Adaptation Diet: Cortisol Control, Weight Loss, and Chronic Disease Prevention

The Adaptation Diet presents a clinically proven plan to lower levels of cortisol, the main stress hormone and a major component of the obesity epidemic. Dr. Charles Moss takes readers through a three-step program—detoxification, elimination of common food allergens, and the implementation of an anti-inflammatory diet—with specific advice on the avoidance of toxins and the inclusion of key bioactive, cortisol-controlling foods and nutrients such as flaxseed powder, cold water fish, specialized herbs, and vitamins.

By reducing excess cortisol, you can decrease your risk for diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and high blood pressure, lose the fat around your midsection, and increase your lean muscle mass. Additionally, the program can improve your ability to adapt to emotional and situational stress.

Using the newly emerging science of epigenetics, Moss explains how diet and environment influence our biological destiny. He provides more than 100 delicious recipes, as well as menu plans, for life-long control of biochemical stress. You'll learn which foods protect gene expression and help reduce your risk for obesity, as well as how to protect your children's gene expression before they are even born.

By following the right dietary suggestions, we can change ourselves right down to our genes and reduce our chances for disease. The Adaptation Diet offers a comprehensive approach to managing stress and improving overall health and well-being.
