Hormones & Belly Fat

Dr. Shawn Talbott (Ph.D., CNS, LDN, FACSM, FACN, FAIS) has gone from triathlon struggler to gut-brain guru! With a Ph.D. in Nutritional Biochemistry, he's on a mission to boost everyday human performance through the power of natural solutions and the gut-brain axis.

Here is a nice article from Shape magazine about balancing some of the key hormones associated with abdominal fat accumulation (belly fat gain).

PDF scan from Jan/Feb 2016 issue = Shape Hormone Balance JanFeb2016

I’m quoted in the article about how stress, cortisol, sleep, and enzymes like HSD can all be related to whether you gain or lose belly fat.
