The stress–snack loop, decoded.

Cortisol is doing exactly what it was designed to do — mobilise energy. The problem is that in modern life the "threat" is an inbox, and the "energy" ends up in the pantry.

Five habits that actually help

1. Two-minute box-breathing before you open your laptop.
2. Protein at breakfast (not just coffee).
3. A ten-minute walk after lunch.
4. A "shutdown" ritual at the end of the workday.
5. Non-food rewards — a bath, a call, a chapter of a book.

These are unglamorous and they work. OLEACORE® can support satiety at meals, but nothing outperforms a well-regulated nervous system.
