Reclaim control over stress and weight loss with the Cortisol Balance Formula, a key pillar of the Hormetics Weight Optimization System. Crafted by Dr. Miriam Mikicki, MD, a renowned expert in hormonal health, and Elwin Robinson, a trailblazer in metabolic wellness, this supplement is designed for individuals identified as the Cortisol Dominant Type in the Hormetics system.

By addressing elevated cortisol levels—a hormonal imbalance linked to stress, fat storage, and metabolic challenges [1]—this science-backed formula supports sustainable weight loss and vibrant health.

Who This Is For

The Cortisol Balance Formula is tailored for individuals with cortisol dominance, a condition where chronic stress leads to elevated cortisol, contributing to weight gain, particularly around the midsection, and difficulty losing fat [2]. This formula is ideal for:

• Adults experiencing stress-related weight gain, fatigue, or cravings for sugary foods [3].
  
  

• Those with symptoms of high cortisol, such as poor sleep, anxiety, or a "wired but tired" feeling [4].
  
  

• Individuals seeking a natural, science-backed approach to balance cortisol and support weight management [5].

If stress is sabotaging your weight loss efforts, this formula offers a targeted solution to calm your body and boost fat loss.

How To Take This Formula

While it’s recommended to check the appropriate dose with a health care professional, the standard dose is 2 capsules per serving.

This will be most effective if taken on an empty stomach, but if any digestive disturbance occurs, try taking this formula with a meal instead.

Even though the serving size is 2 capsules, it’s always better to start slowly, with just one capsule, and assess tolerance, and increase up to the recommended dose. This is true for all dietary supplements, especially for those sensitive to them.
