Cortisol Fix: Why you're exhausted, wired, and can't lose weight-and exactly what to do about it (Gut and Hormone Health Series)

Are you exhausted, wired, and struggling to lose weight no matter what you try? The answer may lie in a hormone your doctor has never tested for. Cortisol Fix is the first practical, evidence-based guide to understanding how chronic stress silently drives weight gain, fatigue, gut problems, hormonal chaos, and mood disorders — and exactly what you can do about it naturally.

Heidi Moretti, MS, RD is a registered dietitian and functional-medicine practitioner with 26 years of clinical experience. After watching patient after patient fail with conventional approaches — medications, diets, and diagnoses that missed the mark — she identified the common thread: cortisol imbalance . In this book, she gives you the tools her clients use to finally get results.

Inside you'll discover:

Why cortisol — not calories — is behind stubborn weight that won't budge How childhood stress, trauma, and modern technology rewire your stress hormones The cortisol-inflammation loop driving chronic fatigue, gut problems, and brain fog Proven natural tools: adaptogens, magnesium, GABA foods, and targeted herbs How to build cortisol-balancing meals — with a full recipe chapter and meal plan Sleep, exercise, hypnotherapy, EMDR, and acupuncture strategies that actually work Why conventional medicine misses cortisol — and how to advocate for yourself Whether you're dealing with burnout, hormonal imbalance, anxiety, or unexplained weight gain, Cortisol Fix gives you a clear, science-backed roadmap to healing your stress response from the inside out.
