Very few people realize this, but…

Stress means more than chewed-down fingernails and sleepless nights.

It affects your whole body - including stubborn body fat.

Stress triggers the release of cortisol - a hormone that can cause rapid weight gain.

See, cortisol, in small amounts, is essential for survival.

It helps regulate blood pressure, blood sugar levels, and boosts energy in fight-or-flight situations.

But continually elevated cortisol levels can contribute to weight gain in several ways.

For example, experts at the Yale University School of Medicine discovered that when you're stressed, you're more likely to reach for that bag of chips, or indulge in a sweet treat for instant gratification.

Also, as scientists at the University of New Mexico demonstrated:

“High levels of cortisol cause fat stores to be relocated and deposited deep in the abdomen, which left unchecked can develop into or enhance obesity.”

This is what creates the classic "stress belly" that many of us struggle with.

The Cleveland Clinic even found that cortisol can slow down your metabolism, making it harder to burn calories efficiently.

This metabolic slowdown combined with increased appetite and fat storage can create a perfect storm for weight gain.

Wow, just one more thing to stress about, right?

And all that advice to destress by “taking a breathwork class” or “go on a yoga retreat”?

That can make your stress even worse - because who has the time for any of that?!

But don't worry just yet!

There’s a simple, science-backed way to keep cortisol in check, and it only takes a few seconds a day.

Studies now show that certain helpful strains of bacteria can influence the body's stress response and address rising cortisol levels.

For example, in one study performed in Cork, Ireland, participants who consumed a strain called “Bifidobacterium longum” experienced balanced cortisol and healthy body mass (compared to the control group).

These findings can be a game changer for your well-being and weight goals.

Just imagine silencing stress and feeling calm and focused each day...

While also supporting youthful metabolism and a trim waistline.

Here’s how it works:

A healthy gut helps you handle stress more effectively.

And as stress levels subside, your cortisol levels naturally balance, paving the way for easy weight management.

That’s just one reason why we added Bifidobacterium longum 1714™ to Just Calm.

In fact, Just Calm is the only retail product available with 3x the clinically proven amount of this cortisol-balancing strain…
