Hormones, Stress, and Body Fat Dynamics
This chapter explores the relationship between hormonal imbalances, particularly in women, and changes in body fat distribution, emphasizing the role of insulin resistance and stress. It discusses how chronic stress can alter cortisol levels and lead to increased abdominal fat, as well as the impact of aging on women's health, including muscle loss and metabolic health.
