Cortisol Cocktail Recipe
Fresh orange juice, unsweetened coconut water, a pinch of cream of tartar, and a pinch of sea salt, stirred together and served over ice. Known as the "adrenal cocktail" before it went viral under the cortisol name — no clinical evidence it lowers cortisol, but it's a genuine electrolyte drink.
