Hack Your Hormones: The Number One Sunday Times Bestseller

Product Information

Davinia gives symptom-led advice, backed up with the expertise of a doctor, on how lifestyle hacks and supplements can balance our cortisol, adrenaline, dopamine and more, even Vitamin D (yep, it's a hormone). Poorly written and even more poorly narrated with mispronunciations that I initially found amusing but quickly irritating.

I do want to point out there were a few things which I did think could be seen as healthy diet culture but beside that it was a great book.It was super insightful and a symptom led approach to understanding our body over the regular hormone led books.

It would be more useful to give lots of options, present what she's discovered with kindness and consideration to a variety of people's life circumstances, then it widens who can access the "hacks". The recommendation throughout seems to be that we should be taking lots (and LOTS) of vitamin and mineral supplements.

In this book, Davinia breaks down how best to optimise ALL our hormones and delves into how they can impact our weight, focus, sleep and energy. It would cost a small fortune to keep up with the regime being suggested, and some aren't even available in the UK.By completing your purchase, you agree to Audible's Conditions of Use and authorise Audible to charge your designated card or any other card on file.

If you didn't already know that sugar, alcohol and ultra processed foods are bad for you, you may find this book enlightening. I managed to get halfway through before realising I was arguing outloud with her 'science based' claims with no credible, non biased evidence to back up her sweeping statements.

I was all praise for this book until near the end the author talks about her diet during her menstrual cycle, and she doesn’t eat solid food until 6pm for some weeks? It's very trendy, sweary, social media junky type persona from the author but some people might like that.

There is a particular focus on the fact that this is not a one-size-fits-all solution, which I really appreciate. I think the actual real book would be better for you to go back and check facts, use as reference material and cross reference.

In Hack Your Hormones Davinia Taylor, entrepreneur and biohacking pioneer, breaks down how best to optimise all of our hormones.

There's nothing really new in the book either, the information can be sought from much better written and discussed sources so I'd personally suggest you go elsewhere and save your money. until it comes to her personal hatred of vegans where she thinks its then OK to ditch the science and facts and uses it as a platform to say how much she hates vegans, plantbased diets etc with alot of claims based on her prejudiced and misunderstandings, and not actually science and facts. I left it a few weeks before thinking, "Come in, be open-minded and give it another shot, you might learn something ' alas I did not. This means it's not only insulting and disrespectful to anyone following this lifestyle for ethical, religious etc beliefs but it also makes this book useless if you are plantbased/vegan because you'll get very little information to support your chosen lifestyle since she simply isn't open to helping you and has some warped hatred of you. Particularly fascinating learning about ingredients in food and even ‘healthy bars’ and vegan burgers which are super anti inflammatory and not great for you.
