Tired but wired? Can’t lose the belly fat no matter what you do?
Blame cortisol. This notorious “stress hormone” is behind more fatigue, brain fog, blood sugar crashes, and stubborn weight gain than most people realize.
When your body feels threatened—by deadlines, drama, toxins, or too little sleep—it pumps out cortisol to keep you going. But if the stress never stops, neither does the cortisol. Over time, your adrenal glands get tapped out, your hormones go haywire, and you’re left running on empty.
The fix? Support your adrenals like your health depends on it—because it does. Cut back on caffeine. Skip the sugar. Add a pinch of sea salt to your water. Load up on magnesium and potassium. Bring in powerhouse adaptogens like ashwagandha and licorice root. And don’t forget the basics: deep breathing, early bedtimes, and blood sugar balance.
My Stress-fighting Protocol
Magnesium – Take 5mg of Mag-Key per lb of body weight. Mag-Key contains not one, but four different bioavailable forms of magnesium along with vitamin B-6. It will aid in stress relief and energy production.
Adrenal Formula – It’s the perfect way to restore energy, balance stress, and support optimal adrenal function. Take three times per day, ideally at the adrenal “times” of 7 AM, 11 AM, and 3 PM.

Hi,
Will the adrenal formula help with high am cortisol levels and sleep, waking during the night?
If you’re waking around 2–4 a.m., that’s often linked to blood sugar dips or a cortisol spike. Adrenal Formula can help with this. Ideally, you’ll want to take it early in the day (morning/afternoon) to support cortisol regulation. You may also benefit from adding Mag-Key (magnesium) at bedtime for relaxation. Here’s an article that may help explain more about the advantages of strengthening your addrenals – Team ALG
