Cortisol Cocktail for Weight Loss
This cortisol cocktail is a science-backed, mineral-rich morning drink that supports adrenal health, balances stress hormones, and kickstarts metabolism. Designed to reduce cravings, belly fat, and morning fatigue, it combines vitamin C, sodium, and optional adaptogens to promote calm, energy, and fat-burning rhythm.

Ingredients
- 1/2 cup fresh orange juice (cold-pressed preferred)
- 1/4 cup filtered water (optional)

- 1/2 tsp magnesium powder (unflavored, optional)
- 1 scoop unflavored collagen peptides (optional)
Instructions
- Add the orange juice and filtered water to a glass.
