The goal isn’t to “eliminate” cortisol—you need it to survive. The key is to restore a healthy rhythm: high in the morning, low at night.

The relation to lungs and stored grief

In TCM, each organ system correlates with an emotion. For the lungs, that emotion is:

Grief & Sadness

The lungs are seen as the “tender organ” that governs breath, letting go, and our connection to life.

What it’s like living in fight or flight

Living in fight or flight or a state of hypervigilance is like having your body’s alarm system stuck in the “on” position. It’s not just an emotional experience—it’s a whole-body physiological state that affects your nervous system, hormones, immune function, digestion, and even your thoughts and relationships.

Why black pepper & turmeric are a powerful duo.

The black pepper significantly enhances the power of turmeric, especially when targeting inflammation, detoxification, and adrenal resilience. This dynamic duo works through synergistic bioactivation, and here’s why it matters in your morning tonic:

The adrenal glands contain some of the highest concentrations of vitamin C in the body. It’s essential for cortisol production, adrenal repair, and immune modulation

HPA Axis Dysregulation aka adrenal fatigue

The HPA axis (Hypothalamus–Pituitary–Adrenal Axis) is your body’s core stress response system. It connects the brain (hypothalamus and pituitary) with the adrenal glands, which produce key stress hormones like cortisol, DHEA, epinephrine, and aldosterone.

How I relieved my joint pain

I’ve done yoga, cycling or walking in nature and working out regularly so really wanted to make sure my body was getting the care needed to function optimally, especially as I was aging. I also use ginger and turmeric daily.

Hemi Sync and its calming effects

After years and years of getting phone calls with “bad news” or an incident my eldest son was involved in, I became afraid of answering the phone. The mere experience of the phone ringing would put me into a state of panic. Now that my son has passed away, I no longer have that panic but still have to put in daily effort to practice ways to calm and soothe my dysregulated nervous system.

Aiding in Healing Adrenal Fatigue

Chronic stress is a primary trigger for adrenal fatigue, so stress management is essential. Incorporate relaxation techniques like meditation, deep breathing exercises, or progressive muscle relaxation to calm the nervous system.
