Health and Well -Being
May health be our guide. GK
Editorial by Gabriella
I have met Dr Mehmet Yildiz many years ago now after I started to write on the Medium platform. I published my book chapters in Illumination book chapters and he become very supportive of my work in Addiction. Dr Mehmet Yildiz had reviewed a few books for me in DEP and also for other writers who write in DEP and Illumination. When he reached out to me to review his latest book it was an honor to take a look, read and review his book. I am very grateful for this wonderful author, mentor and friend.
Cortisol plays a crucial role in our health and well being. I was very excited to see this wonderful book coming out by a well known and respected author Dr Mehmet Yildiz. I believe this book needs to be on the bookshelves of every health care professional and anyone who is interested in supporting their own health and well being.
A personal transformation for Dr Mehmet Yildiz inspired him to share his knowledge, experience and wisdom with others in his book Cortisol Clarity.
Dr Mehmet Yildiz states in his book that he developed symptoms that he wanted to change:
“Over time, the demands of work, parenting, and personal
ambition escalated, and my symptoms worsened. I experienced
chronic joint pain, muscle loss, and digestive issues.
My mind felt foggy, and my once-boundless energy was replaced
by exhaustion”
I think many of us can relate to these issues and the overwhelm in life that can visit any time creating stress and unhealthy habits. As Dr Mehmet Yildiz mentions inn his book many of us have the tendency to help others in their health care goals while ignoring our own issues.
When he noticed he needed the change these steps helped to improve his life:
“made gradual changes: replacing high-intensity runs with
gentle walks, swapping coffee for cold showers, improving
my sleep environment, and addressing emotional stress
through mindfulness, meditation, flow-state, and joyful
hobbies. Each adjustment brought noticeable improvements”
I am sure that many people including myself have experienced that changes are necessary to support our health and well being.

What can happen in the body when cortisol is elevated long term?
Dr Mehmet Yildiz discusses in his book the problems that can arise
“Stubborn belly fat because cortisol signals the
body to store energy for emergencies.
• Blood sugar imbalances that increase the risk of
insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.
• Sleep disturbances, as high cortisol levels make it
harder to relax and fall asleep.
• Weakened immunity, leaving you more vulnerable
to infections.
• Brain fog and memory issues, because cortisol,
when prolonged, can shrink areas of the brain like
the hippocampus.”
Dr Mehmet Yildiz provides a great analysis and support on how to help and support the body to become a healthier and happier human being.
