Evidence-based guide to understanding and managing the HPA axis stress response. Directly relevant to FKBP5 CT cortisol dysregulation research — covering practical strategies that the research supports for people whose stress hormone system takes longer to recover.
Sutton (a South African physiotherapist and stress-medicine physician) breaks the HPA axis and stress response into practical components — cortisol curves, sleep, breathing, exercise dose, cold exposure, adaptogenic support — and gives a graded protocol for restoring healthy stress recovery.
A widely-adopted reference in the corporate-wellness and performance-coaching worlds, especially in Commonwealth countries where Sutton has advised professional sports organisations.
These peer-reviewed studies connect to the core ideas in this book. Each result has been scored for reliability.
Dr. Panda leads one of the world's top labs on time-restricted eating and circadian biology. His research on meal timing and metabolic health maps directly to what peer-reviewed studies have found for MTNR1B GG carriers — making when you eat as important as what you eat.
Covers the research on how specific nutrients — omega-3s, B vitamins, fat-soluble vitamins — affect brain and metabolic function. Directly relevant to FADS1 and BCMO1 variant research on nutrient conversion efficiency.
Two researchers present the evidence for micronutrient support — including methylated B vitamins — in mental health. Directly relevant to MTHFR compound het and the connection between folate processing and neurotransmitter synthesis.
