Cortistop Supplement Spotlight - May 2021 | Jennifer Meckel


Supplement Spotlight

CortiStop


Stress stored and fought by the body is possibly the number one health danger. It is truly a killer. Making sure we have our tools to help our bodies physically and emotionally deal with stress is one of the biggest changes we can make in our health!


What happens when you're stressed? Your adrenal glads go into overdrive and your cortisol levels go up. High levels of cortisol cause the body to scavenge for protein to convert into glucose to provide energy for the brain to deal with the perceived stress (also severely depresses the immune system). 

So adrenaline kicks in.

Adrenaline is your fight or flight hormone (also helps to control blood pressure, sweating, etc). Your adrenals can spike creating a feeling of energy then crash with extreme fatigue when they run out of materials to work with. You feel fine in the morning, but when contemplating work will get extremely tired. The thought of work can wear them out; any type of stress will cause the adrenal glads to over react (extremely tense nervous) or fail to respond (suddenly/extremely tired).

When cortisol is produced too frequently, it can have negative health consequences such as feelings of fatigue, difficulty maintaining healthy weight, and difficulty maintaining optimal health of the cardiovascular system. When cortisol levels are chronically high, it affects the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, basically affecting all your hormones and disrupting the natural feedback loop. This causes the body to be less sensitive to the 'stop signal', and creates a viscous cycle of elevated stress signals. This is the root cause of adrenal fatigue. Adrenal fatigue can bring with it negative health consequences such as fatigue, weight gain, and cardiovascular disorders.

Enter Cortistop

CortiStop is an herb and essential oil supplement that helps to naturally balance the stress response by calming the body and lowering cortisol levels. As cortisol declines, strength and energy return, and the body moves back to a state of equilibrium.

Triggers for elevated cortisol levels:

  • Excess heat/cold
  • alcohol abuse
  • coffee drinking
  • depression
  • anxiety
  • malnutrition
  • personal reltionships
  • surgery
  • physical/emotional trauma
  • diseases
  • big life events (job changes/problems, moving, etc.)

Here is a closer look at each ingredient in CortiStop and how it supports our system:
  • Pregnenolone: shown to reduce corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) in experimental models. CRH is the first step in the production of stress hormone cortisol. Pregnenolone is also a precursor hormone from which all other hormones are created It is important for the body's production of progesterone, which blocks cortisol receptors.
  • DHEA: another precursor for progesterone, DHEA is often reduced as a consequence of stress.
  • Phosphatidylcholine: may protect the brain, liver and stomach during times of stress; also a key component for every cell in the body.
  • Phosphatidylserine: helps to balance the Hypothalamus-Pituitary Axis, benefits cognitive function, and may blunt cortisol production. The effects may be more pronounced in people under chronic stress.
  • Black cohosh: a phytoestrogen that helps counteract the effects of cortisol, helps stop stress responses, and may elevate mood.
  • Clary sage: another phytoestrogen that supports hormone balance and helps uplift the mood.
  • Frankincense: a grounding and uplifting oil that also works as an antioxidant within the body.
  • Fennel and peppermint: help soothe the stomach and aid in digestion.
Who Should Use CortiStop?
  • Women who need support or feel the effects of adrenal fatigue.
  • Men can take this supplement when needed! Dr. Purser, the doctor who formulated Progessence Plus, taught in a session on men's health that there is a place for men to be on this supplement in times of high stress and anxiety.
  • NOT recommended during pregnancy. Use while breastfeeding at your discretion and need.

HOW TO USE

  • Take 2 tablets in the morning before breakfast. 
  • If desired, for extra benefits, take another 2 capsules before bed. 
  • Use daily for 8 weeks. Discontinue use for 2-4 weeks before resuming.

Hello! I'm Jennifer Meckel

 

I am very passionate about helping you achieve the best YOU that you can be!


A little about myself. I live in the Pacific Northwest in Washington State. I am married to a wonderful and supportive man named Sean since 2003 - all wonderful years. We have two smart and sassy daughters, Emmy is 10 and in 4th grade in the Mandarin Immersion program and Lilly is 6 and in kindergarten. I like to paper craft and make my own cards, I like to sew (though don’t have much time for that lately) and I just returned to belly dancing now that Lilly is getting bigger.


I’ve been using essential oils and infused products for since October 2015 and absolutely love this lifestyle and how it makes me and my family feel. I started my oily journey after sitting next to another mom at a play date.  We started talking about my infertility issues, and she suggested I try Young Living’s essential oils to support my hormones.  After a year of intentionally exercising, eating better, and using oils to support my hormones and emotions, I became pregnant with Lilly, right before my first time attending the International YL Convention in Salt Lake City in 2016. There is so much more to tell about this story, and I’m open and willing to share with you, if you are interested.


So, tell me more about yourself!  Tell me about the season of life you are in now. Tell me about your family. 


In health, wellness, and abundance!
