What Can I expect with CortiVarin®
Taking CortiVarin® consistently as part of a healthy, reduced calorie diet and exercise plan is the best way to reach your weight loss goals safely and naturally. As with any diet program, some people begin losing weight within a few weeks, while others may take longer. Many factors contribute to each individuals results and the rate at which they meet weight loss goals including, metabolism, diet and exercise routine, etc. – everybody is different. Some individuals, especially those who generally have a difficult time losing weight or a very high amount of daily stress may take several weeks to see noticeable results, but you can be sure that you will lose weight safely and naturally over time with CortiVarin® as part of your new and healthier lifestyle. If you are new to beginning an exercise regimen, remember, you may lose fat and gain muscle! Muscle weighs more than fat! You may feel better and trimmer..but your scale may not be the best gage of your early results. (Initially, you may choose to use a tape measure). Your best indicator early on will be how much better you begin to feel! Be patient and confident in knowing that you are managing your weight the safe and healthy way...which is the best way to keep it off for life. CortiVarin® may help you reach your permanent weight loss goals.

CortiVarin® is not a quick fix that contains ingredients to produce rapid and temporary weight loss to trick you into thinking you are succeeding long term. If you want a product that guarantees you'll lose 10 pounds a week, then CortiVarin® may not be right for you. Remember…long term weight loss that gets off and stays off is what matters! We have all lost 10 only to gain back 15 down the road! Where does that get us? Depending on the individual, rapid weight loss over a short period of time can even be downright dangerous.

Some individuals may want to increase their dosage to the advanced dosage if they have difficulty losing weight or are experiencing higher levels of daily stress. Please refer to the directions for more information.

What is Cortisol?
Cortisol, also known as Cortisone and Hydrocortisone, is a steroid hormone produced in the adrenal gland in reponse to stress. Cortisol is often referred to as the primary "stress hormone". In the body, cortisol is needed to maintain normal physiological processes during times of stress - without cortisol, the body would not be able to respond effectively to stress. With an effective cortisol metabolism, cortisol secretion releases amino acids from muscle, glucose from the liver and fatty acids from adipose tissue into the blood stream for use as energy. Normal cortisol metabolism undergoes a "diurnal rhythm", meaning that cortisol levels vary throughout a 24-hour period, with the highest levels typically observed in the early morning and the lowest levels in the early hours (about midnight - 2am). Cortisol levels usually show a rapid drop between 8am and 11am and a continued gradual decline throughout the day. From those lowest levels around 2am, cortisol again begins to rise to help us wake up and prepare for another stressful day. The normal range for blood cortisol levels is a fairly wide range of 6-23 mcg/dl, but these levels can vary tremendously in response to both physical and emotional stress, and even following meals.

Cortisol can have negative effects when either there is too much cortisol or the body is exposed to cortisol on a regular basis. Scientific evidence shows that elevated cortisol levels are associated with difficultly managing weight, difficulty feeling relaxed, sugar or carbohydrate cravings, fatigue, an increasingly negative perspective, moodiness, increased symptoms of the menstrual cycle, and increased appetite, weight gain, irritability, chronic fatigue, anxiety, depression, weakening of the immune system and overall poor health.

According to new studies there is a direct link between stress, tension and excess belly fat. Stress produces a fat making hormone called cortisol. Too much production of this stress hormone can causes weight gain.

When the body feels stress it produces the cortisol hormone which tells the body to save energy to fight the stress. Saving energy means storing fat. The over production of cortisol accelerates the accumulation and storing of excess body fat, particularly around the waist and stomach areas. The excess cortisol also increases your appetite, prompting the need to eat larger quantities and cravings for sweets and simple carbohydrates-foods that make insulin levels spike and then plummet. This unhealthy activity also makes one hungrier than normal and increases the urge to eat more frequently, often resulting in over-eating of unhealthy or fattening foods.

Will I experience rebound weight gain with CortiVarin®
Rebound weight gain often occurs as a result of fad diets and stimulant-based products. Rebound weight gain causes you to gain back all and often times more of the weight you worked so hard to lose in the first place. The reason this occurs is linked to the stress hormone cortisol. Stimulants and poor dieting habits actually may cause your body to overproduce cortisol, which maod of time, you will begin to notice the positive effects of CortiVarin®.y lead to increased hunger and cravings, and ultimately the rebound weight gain.

Because CortiVarin® works naturally with your body against many causes of weight gain, you simply won't experience rebound weight gain with CortiVarin®. CortiVarin® doesn't work by artificially "jolting" your body like the typical stimulant-based weight loss products. CortiVarin® contains absolutely no ephedra! It is all natural and ephedra free. CortiVarin® is formulated to work with your body to help increase your metabolism naturally, so you won't experience the jitters and sleeplessness often caused by other weight loss products as a result of stimulants.

Why Stress Management?
Stress may cause your body to overproduce a stress hormone known as "cortisol" — which may be the cause of so many of our weight problems. Elevated cortisol levels may compromise other hormones, including insulin, serotonin, and DHEA. Cortisol may also decrease our metabolism, increases hunger and cravings, imbalances blood sugar (glucose) levels, and ultimately signal the body to store excess fat.

CortiVarin® is formulated to manage stress, naturally boost metabolism, curb appetite and cravings, maintain healthy blood sugar levels, and help the body burn fat—instead of store it! CortiVarin® is a safe and natural weight management program when used as suggested.

How does stress and mood affect my weight management goals?
Do you eat for comfort?? We all have our favorite comfort foods! We turn to them when we feel STRESSED!! We may be upset...bored...sad...lonely...worried...it all translates to stress! CortiVarin®is specially formulated to reduce stress and improve mood to help increase your sense of well-being. When we feel better...we eat less comfort food and we make better choices about the foods we do eat. Some simple tips for those who find themselves eating for comfort: If you are upset...punch your pillow and let it out constructively; bored - get involved in activities..pursue an interest or class; sad or lonely - get happy...seek out friends, company and entertainment!; worried - share your worry with others--do not keep it inside. Exercise!!! Exercise reduces stress!!!

How can exercise help me with stress?
Studies indicate that physical activity is associated with decreased levels of depression, tension/anxiety, anger and fatigue. The higher your stress level, the more likely that exercise will have a positive effect. Studies show that exercise is associated with increased levels of "vigor" or energy, possibly resulting from changes in the PH level of the blood. Self esteem is likely to be enhanced as a result of participation in a regular exercise program. In some cases exercise has been found to be as effective as medication in reducing symptoms of depression (aerobic activity such as running, bicycling, jumping rope is most likely to decrease depressive symptoms).
Physical activity has been found to improve concentration and memory due to increased levels of oxygen in the blood and brain. As little as 20 minutes of exercise per day (even simply a brisk walk!), 3 times per week has been found to have a mood enhancing effect.
