The essential guide to understanding and regulating cortisol to overcome stress and reclaim happiness

Every woman's guide to understanding cortisol, breaking the stress cycle, and reclaiming your health and happiness

Nutritionist and hormone specialist Hannah Alderson reveals the true role of cortisol in our bodies, explaining why we need it and exploring how dysregulated cortisol can disrupt everyday wellbeing— from burnout and brain fog to nervous system triggers and the effects of chronic stress.

Her four-step programme combines nutritional guidance and lifestyle practices to bring your body back to balance. With simple strategies and realistic solutions, you'll be empowered to stop the spiral, boost your mood, and find your way back to a place of calm, clarity, and confidence.

Everything I Know About Cortisol will allow you to:

  • Understand the real role cortisol plays in energy, mood, and metabolism
  • Combine nutritional guidance and actionable lifestyle strategies to support a healthy cortisol rhythm
  • Empower yourself with the tools and knowledge to transform your health
  • Advocate effectively for your own wellbeing
  • Break free from chronic stress and the burnout spiral
