You Don't Have to Be Stuck on the Cortisol Roller Coaster
Let’s talk about why your body feels like a dumpster fire—even when you’re “doing everything right.”
The Truth Is - You Can Calm Yourself Out of Cortisol Chaos...
You just need the right tools!
In this workshop, I’m teaming up with wellness coach Andrea Nichols to break down what’s actually going on with your stress, hormones, and burnout.
We’re going to show you how your nervous system got wired for survival, how cortisol plays into your energy and mood, and the sneaky lifestyle habits (like scrolling while eating or pushing through exhaustion) that keep you stuck in go-go-go mode.
I'll walk you through how to actually support your body with food—not diets, not restriction, not a million supplements you saw on TikTok—but real nourishment that helps regulate cortisol and bring your system back online.
Because here’s the truth:
You can’t supplement your way out of a chaotic life.
And you can’t mindset your way out of a fried nervous system.
It all has to work together if you want to feel like yourself again.
Welcome to Cortisol Chaos
Society tells you it's normal to feel stuck in cycles of burnout, overthinking, and feeling wired but tired.
But it's not. It's time for you to understand how your nervous system and cortisol are keeping you in survival mode—and how to gently rewire your body back to safety, energy, and peace.
Does this sound familiar?
Why now?
Because your body is already giving you signals...
The exhaustion. The irritability. The anxiety that shows up out of nowhere. The way rest doesn’t actually feel restful. These aren’t random symptoms—they’re signs your nervous system is stuck in survival mode.
The longer you ignore those signals,
the louder they get.
This isn’t about fixing yourself—it’s about finally listening to yourself.
And giving your body the support it’s been begging for.
You don’t need another wellness trend or expensive supplement stack your body might not even be ready to digest and use right now
You need a real understanding of what’s happening in your body, and a clear path forward. That’s what this class will give you.

Hi, I'm Stephanie
Cortisol may be a hot topic on Instagram right now, but it's more than just a popular wellness fad.
We want and need cortisol to work as it's meant to in our bodies, and when it gets pushed out on overdrive or doesn't get mobilized at all due to chronic burnout, we don't get the benefits we need from it to reduce inflammation, support energy, sleep, and nervous system activation.
Understanding what cortisol is supposed to do, what it's actually doing, and how to get it back to where it's helpful, not harmful, matters to overall health, especially blood sugar balance, thyroid health, and metabolism.
I've been there myself, and I've worked with dozens of women to regulate their cortisol levels through targeted functional testing and nutrition support.
If you're on the cortisol chaos train, here's where you learn how to balance the science and the soul so you can can finally understand what your body’s been trying to tell you all along—and what to do about it.
