Stress Tested: How The New Science of Stress Hormones Can Transform Your Health

"Read by the authors, Dr Richard Mackenzie and Peter Walker 'Read this and add at least a fortnight to your life.' - Jeremy Vine 'Real, down-to-earth and urgently needed.' - Oliver Burkeman Why do we feel stress? And how can we change things? Stress Tested is a pioneering collaboration between leading researcher Richard Mackenzie and journalist Peter Walker. Investigating the science of stress hormones, real-life case studies, the history of stress, societal factors and how they interact with stress, Mackenzie and Walker explain exactly how stress works, and what we can do to mitigate its long-term health impact. This is the audiobook exploring the nuances of stress and how it affects you. You'll learn how stress impacts and interacts with: - Your hormones - Weight - Type 2 diabetes - Your work and socio-economic status - Fertility and pregnancy - Early childhood and upbringing - Plus some strategies for coping with stress It is packed with conversation-starting science and stories. Did you know that low-carb diets can increase cortisol levels, as can HIIT exercise, causing insulin and glucose surges? The opposite of what we have been told in recent times. Or how stress hormones can affect fertility for all genders? Mackenzie and Walker dive into society and stress, considering if the higher rate of type two diabetes in disadvantaged communities is entirely due to lack of healthy food and exercise - or is the stress of poverty itself a major factor? One thing is clear: stress is complex and personal, with many contributing factors. In Stress Tested, the authors present the view that much (if not most) stress is caused by factors outside of your control. It's not your fault if you're stressed. But having the knowledge and understanding of what is happening in your body when stress occurs is a powerful step towards minimizing it."

The Call: Book Zero

"The world is in turmoil. Elias Girawong, Earth Wizard and knowledge keeper, must act. His ceremony, calling the thirteen, heralds a long overdue change to shake the foundations of life itself. But there are those who covet power beyond reason. Each of the thirteen 'called' have their assigned roles. Each of them must travel to join the circle of thirteen. Each of them must face the challenge of their journey and the will and power of those who would thwart them. Valda Balaz has been groomed by the machine. Thrust into positions of power since birth, she is trained to be ruthless. When Elias performs his ceremony, Valda must take decisive action to stop him and stop everything he has put in motion. The Church, corporations, medical sovereignty, inter-dimensional realities, magic, medicines and a fast-approaching star create an epic story which reflects the world we face today. One path brings balance, peace and freedom underpinned by love. The other plunges it into a darkness from which it might never emerge.

True Love: ‘I am going to speak tenderly to her… and make the Valley of Trouble a door of hope.’ (Ho

"Of the billions of humans now alive and kicking, let two of them fall in love, marry, and yet it can’t stick. They chose each other, and even still… Just two can’t make ‘love’ work – not two lovers, two races, two nations, two siblings, two people. We crave to know true love. That’s the deep well of thirst in every eye, every soul. It’s not in our control, however. Our own spirits are not the source, the spring - that’s why our ‘love’ breaks down. When we see this, when we feel this, our hearts cry out to God to know true love. We need his touch, not just a story. We need the healing Spirit of God’s love, not a religion. In this short book I share with you the simple, powerful story of Jesus and his offer of God’s love and Spirit to you."

Alone With God: ‘You will be like a spring whose waters never fail.’ (Isaiah 58:11)

"Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; If I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. (Psalm 139:7-10)"

The Miracle Pill

"'This book is pretty life-changing - encouraging, optimistic, rich with information. It got me off the sofa.' Jeremy Vine 'This is such a lovely, ambitious, fascinating book. Essential lockdown reading. It allows us to reimagine our world and our bodies: we can move more.' Dr Xand van Tulleken, TV presenter 'Truly uplifting' Chris Boardman What is the 'miracle pill', the simple lifestyle change with such enormous health benefits that, if it was turned into a drug, would be the most valuable drug in the world? The answer is movement and the good news is that it's free, easy and available to everyone. Four in ten British adults, and 80% of children, are so sedentary they don't meet even the minimum recommended levels for movement. What's going on? The answer is simple: activity became exercise. What for centuries was universal and everyday has become the fetishised pursuit of a minority, whether the superhuman feats of elite athletes, or a chore slotted into busy schedules. Yes, most people know physical activity is good for us. And yet 1.5 billion people around the world are so inactive they are at greater risk of everything from heart disease to diabetes, cancer, arthritis and depression, even dementia. Sedentary living now kills more people than obesity, despite receiving much less attention, and is causing a pandemic of chronic ill health many experts predict could soon bankrupt the NHS. How did we get here? Daily, constant exertion was an integral part of humanity for millennia, but in just a few decades movement was virtually designed out of people's lives through transformed workplaces, the dominance of the car, and a built environment which encourages people to be static. In a world now also infiltrated by ubiquitous screens, app-summoned taxis and shopping delivered to your door, it can be shocking to realise exactly how sedentary many of us are. A recent study found almost half of middle-aged English people don't walk continuously for ten minutes or more in an average month. At current trends, scientists forecast, the average US adult will expend little more energy in an average week than someone who spent all their time in bed. This book is a chronicle of this very modern and largely unexplored catastrophe, and the story of the people trying to turn it around. Through interviews with experts in various fields - doctors, scientists, architects and politicians - Peter Walker explores how to bring more movement into the modern world and, most importantly, into your life. Forget the gym, introducing quick and easy lifestyle changes can slow down the ageing process and even reverse many illnesses and increase mental wellbeing. "
