šæ Cortisol Support: What Actually Helps (and how to use it strategically)
Hereās the truth most people missā¦Itās not about taking random supplementsā¦Itās about layering support based on how your body is handling stress. So hereās how I actually build cortisol protocols š
STEP 1: Nervous System FIRST (this is non-negotiable)
š MAKE CALM
ā daily baseline support for stress signaling
ā helps take the edge off constant overstimulation
š§ MAKE HYDRATED
ā electrolytes + glycine = foundational for adrenal + nervous system support
š If you skip this step, nothing else works as well.
STEP 2: Targeted Cortisol Support (is where we get more precise with Fullscript supplements)
āØ Magnesium Glycinate (Pure Encapsulations / Douglas Labs)
ā deeply calming + supports sleep + nervous system regulation
ā highly absorbable forms are key
āØ Phosphatidylserine
ā helps regulate elevated cortisol (especially at night)
ā supports brain + stress response signaling
STEP 3: Recovery + Sleep (this is where cortisol actually resets)
š¤ MAKE RESTORED
ā supports deeper sleep cycles (this is where cortisol regulation happens)
š§ The strategy:
MAKE products = daily nervous system + lifestyle support
Fullscript = targeted, clinical correction. You need BOTH if you actually want results. High cortisol and LOW cortisol feel similarā¦but require completely different protocols. Thatās why guessing your supplements usually backfires.
