one must imagine Sisyphus low-cortisoled.

↓ facial fat, daily stress, cravings  ↑ energy, general sense of contentment, inner peace

masseters shrink in size, blood circulation increases, lower cholesterol levels, and hyaluronic acid effect: plump fat pads, bright under eyes, youthful complexion, and tauter, tighter, more elastic skin.

deepened and restorative sleep, complete removal of that ‘tired but wired’ state. high cortisol disrupts the body’s natural circadian rhythm, leading to nighttime alertness. instead, you fall asleep faster, achieving longer periods of slow wave sleep (SWS). signaling the HPA axis to downregulate, the subliminal helps the body transition out of "hypervigilance" mode, allowing for melatonin production to take precedence. wake up feeling physically untangled and mentally clear, rather than groggy or anxious. get the best sleep ever, the unimpeded benefits of 600-thread count egyptian cotton sheets on an eight sleep mattress at 18 degrees celsius.

reduction of abdominal & stress fat storage. higher cortisol directs the body to store fat viscerally (around the organs) for quick energy during fight-or-flight. drastic reduction of the enzyme 11-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, which converts inactive cortisone to active cortisol in fat cells, thus a natural reduction in waist circumference and lower back fat etc. 

nonchalance-maxxing, stabilised emotional regulation, less reactivity, place less weight in the words and actions of other people, stop worrying needlessly over variables outside your control. high cortisol sensitises the amygdala (the brain's fear center) and shrinks the hippocampus (logic center). this ratio is now rebalanced. your tolerance window for stressful situations and sudden conundrums is now much wider; instead of snapping at a partner or crying over spilled milk, feel a pause between the trigger and your reaction. situations which used to cause panic become merely annoying or neutral. become, in essence, the living embodiment of stoicism.

total restoration of the skin barrier and collagen, a catabolic-to-anabolic shift, increased fibroblast activity (the cells that produce connective tissue), improved skin hydration, reduced appearance of fine lines caused by stress, faster healing of minor acne or scratches, and a reduction in stress-induced eczema or psoriasis flare-ups.

improved digestive comfort aka gut-brain axis (the gut has more cortisol receptors than almost any other organ. high cortisol can divert blood flow away from digestion, leading to bloating and ibs), the enteric nervous system resumes parasympathetic activity, never get morning nausea, 1000000000000000% decrease in chance of bloating, more regular bowel movements, and no stress-induced acid reflux.

sharper short-term memory and recall, absolute eradication of brain fog, acuter, quicker and more adroit mind, connect the dots more easily, synthesise information much faster and more radically, and construct cleaner hypotheses.

elimination of all and any muscle tension and chronic pain, relaxed sympathetic nervous system, less jaw clenching (tmj relief), reduced tension headaches originating from the neck, and faster recovery from workouts due to lowered inflammatory cortisol markers.

possess a healthy, balanced libido and hormonal cycles: cortisol shares a precursor hormone with progesterone and testosterone (pregnenolone). high cortisol ‘steals’ this precursor. lower cortisol demand means pregnenolone is freed up to convert into sex hormones, resulting in less severe pms and painful periods for women, and improved morning testosterone spikes for men.

stronger immune resilience, homeostasis, and specifically balancing cortisol awakening response (car), get sick less often, but also seeing a reduction in allergic reactions (hives, seasonal allergies) because the mast cells are not being over-stimulated by erratic cortisol swings.

reduced cravings for salt & sugar, adrenal glands release aldosterone, stabilised adrenal signaling, naturally gravitating toward whole foods, you truly enjoy eating cleaner, feel satiated by smaller portions.

etc. etc.
