Interview Jonny Bowden, PhD Cortisol: Q and A
Consumer interest in cortisol is rising due to growing awareness about the negative effects of chronic stress on physical and mental health, as well as cortisol’s role in stress and weight gain. Elevated cortisol levels contribute to various health issues, including weight gain, immune suppression, and cognitive decline, making cortisol management increasingly important. We discussed these topics with Jonny Bowden, PhD, who holds a Master’s Degree in Psychology and a PhD in Integrative Nutrition. He is also a best-selling author of over a dozen books and a faculty member at the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy.
