The Cortisol Cocktail: Supporting Stress, Hormones, and the Nervous System Naturally. The “Cortisol Cocktail” - The Limitless Duo by Benevé What Is Benevé?

A Foundational Overview of the Wellness Systems We Use at Remarkable You Wellness

At Remarkable You Wellness, we believe the body was designed to heal, adapt, and thrive when it is given the right support. Our approach is not about quick fixes, trends, or masking symptoms… it’s about restoring balance at the root.

That’s why we are very intentional about the products and systems we use and recommend in our practice.

One of those foundational partners is Benevé.

Benevé is a science-backed wellness company that formulates targeted nutraceutical systems designed to support the body’s metabolic, hormonal, neurological, digestive, and performance pathways, especially in seasons of stress, fatigue, inflammation, or transition.

Rather than isolated supplements, Benevé products are designed to work in strategic groupings, supporting the body as an interconnected whole. Below is a general overview of the core Benevé systems we use at RYW.

Cortisol & Stress Resilience Support

The Limitless Duo: Power of 3 + Xcelerate

Chronic stress (physical, emotional, or metabolic) places a heavy burden on the body, especially the nervous system, adrenals, hormones, and detox pathways. Over time, this often shows up as fatigue, stubborn weight, mood changes, poor sleep, and inflammation.

The Limitless Duo, often referred to as the cortisol cocktail, was designed to support the body’s ability to adapt to stress rather than stay stuck in fight-or-flight.

• Power of 3 focuses on antioxidant protection, cellular detoxification, and hormone-supportive pathways that help reduce internal stress signals.

• Xcelerate beverages provide clean, steady energy and cognitive support without overstimulating the nervous system.

Together, this duo supports:

• Healthy cortisol rhythm

• Stress resilience and calm focus

• Reduced inflammation and oxidative stress

• Energy without crashes or jitters

This system is often used as a starting point for individuals experiencing burnout, hormonal stress, or fatigue.

Metabolic, GLP-1 & Gut-Brain Axis Support

The Wellness Trio

Much of today’s weight-loss and metabolic conversation centers around GLP-1 medications. While those medications are part of the current landscape, at Remarkable You Wellness we also focus on supporting the body’s natural signaling systems, especially the gut-brain connection.

The Wellness Trio was designed to support:

• Natural GLP-1 signaling pathways

• Gut integrity and microbiome balance

• Brain-based appetite and satiety cues

• Hydration and cellular communication

This system includes:

• Stack 3 – foundational metabolic and neurological support

• G3 (powder or capsules) – targeted gut and brain communication support

• Electrolytes – essential minerals that support hydration, nerve signaling, and metabolic efficiency

Rather than forcing the body into suppression, this trio helps restore communication between the gut, brain, and metabolism… an essential piece of sustainable wellness.

Performance, Strength & Recovery Support

The Performance Duo: Surge + Build

Movement is a vital part of wellness, but the body must also be properly fueled and supported to adapt, recover, and strengthen.

The Performance Duo is designed for individuals who are:

• Increasing activity or strength training

• Supporting muscle tone and recovery

• Protecting joints, connective tissue, and endurance

• Looking to age strong rather than fragile

• Surge supports circulation, oxygen utilization, and workout performance.

• Build supports muscle recovery, lean mass, and tissue repair.

This duo is commonly paired with holistic movement, vibration training, resistance work, or active lifestyle programs.

Why We Use Systems—Not Single Supplements

At Remarkable You Wellness, we don’t believe the body works in isolated parts—and neither should wellness support.

Benevé products are designed to:

• Work synergistically, not competitively

• Support multiple systems at once

• Complement clinical care, nutrition, and lifestyle foundations

Each grouping serves a specific purpose, and when used appropriately, they can help the body move out of survival mode and into restoration.

• Performance, recovery, and building strength wisely

If you’re curious about which system may be appropriate for you, we always recommend personalized guidance, because your body… and your story… matters.

Friend, healing is not about forcing outcomes.It’s about supporting the design God already placed within you… wisely, gently, and with intention.

Power of 3 + Xcelerate

If you’ve been feeling wired but tired, mentally foggy, emotionally flat, or stuck in constant stress mode, you’re not alone, and it’s not a personal failure. Very often, this is the result of cortisol imbalance and a nervous system that has been living too long in fight, flight, or freeze.

At Remarkable You Wellness, we look at cortisol not as the enemy, but as a messenger. Cortisol is a vital hormone designed to help you respond to stress. The problem arises when stress becomes chronic and the body never gets the signal that it’s safe to come back into balance.

This is where the Limitless Duo, often referred to as the cortisol cocktail, can be a powerful support.

“But I’m Not Stressed…” — What We See in Practice

One of the most common things I hear in my practice is:

“I’m not really stressed.”

And I believe people when they say it because many truly don’t feel stressed anymore.

But that doesn’t mean stress isn’t present.

When the body has been in fight, flight, or freeze (sympathetic dominance) for an extended period of time, it simply cannot stay in a constant state of “fighting the bear.” That level of pressure is not sustainable.

So instead, the body shifts into what I often describe as emergency mode or autopilot.

In this state:

• Stress is no longer felt consciously

• Emotions may feel muted or flat

• Fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, or disconnection appear

• Hormones and metabolism begin to dysregulate quietly

This is a protective survival response, not a sign of weakness. The body is doing the best it can to keep you going, but behind the scenes, cortisol and stress hormones are still driving inflammation, hormone imbalance, nervous system overload, and exhaustion.

Making the Invisible Visible: Neural Chek

At Remarkable You Wellness, we use a non-invasive assessment tool called Neural Chek to help make this hidden stress response visible.

Neural Chek allows us to see:

• The percentage of time your body spends in sympathetic (fight/flight)

• Parasympathetic (rest/digest)

• And emergency mode

This data is incredibly powerful because it shows us the healing taking place, so we do not give up too soon.

Many times, we see shifts in nervous system balance and cortisol regulation on Neural Chek first, followed by improvements in:

• Energy

• Mental clarity

• Mood

• Sleep

• Hormonal resilience

This is one of the ways we know the body is responding and healing, even when the person says, “I don’t feel different yet.”

*Note: Be sure to check out Neural Chek on our website to learn more about this assessment and how we use it in practice.

Understanding Cortisol & the Stress Response

Cortisol influences:

• Hormone balance

• Energy production

• Blood sugar regulation

• Inflammation

• Mood, focus, and sleep

When cortisol stays elevated for too long, the body remains stuck in survival mode. This can show up as:

• Anxiety or emotional reactivity

• Brain fog and poor mental clarity

• Fatigue with bursts of wired energy

• Weight resistance

• Feeling unlike yourself

Supporting cortisol isn’t about forcing the body to calm down, it’s about removing the stress signals and restoring communication within the body.

Power of 3 - Antioxidant & Cellular Stress Support

Power of 3 is the foundational piece of the Limitless Duo. It works at a deep, cellular level to reduce the internal stressors that keep cortisol elevated.

This formula contains four powerful antioxidants that support the body’s natural detoxification, hormone metabolism, and inflammatory balance:

• Glutathione (Opitac™) – Supports liver detoxification and neutralizes oxidative stress that drives cortisol production

• Polynol™ – Helps protect cells from oxidative damage and supports healthy cellular signaling

• DIM (Diindolylmethane) – Supports healthy hormone metabolism, particularly estrogen pathways closely connected to cortisol

• Xanthohumol – Supports inflammatory balance, gut health, and neurological protection

From a practitioner perspective, Power of 3 helps lower the background noise inside the body, so the nervous system can begin to step out of survival mode.

Xcelerate - Nootropic Energy & Nervous System Support

While Power of 3 works behind the scenes, Xcelerate supports how you feel day to day.

Xcelerate is formulated with clean, natural nootropics, compounds that support brain function, mental clarity, and focus without overstimulating the nervous system.

Unlike harsh stimulants that spike cortisol, Xcelerate works with the body, supporting energy production while respecting the body’s natural stress rhythm.

Benefits include:

• Improved mental clarity and focus

• Calm, steady energy without crashes

• Support for mood and motivation

• Appetite and craving support often tied to stress hormones

Xcelerate comes in four flavors:

• Watermelon Berry

• Tropical Sunrise

• Coffee

• CoffeeLite

Why the Duo Works So Well Together

From a functional and clinical perspective:

• Power of 3 reduces oxidative and hormonal stress at the root

• Xcelerate supports the brain and nervous system without triggering a stress response

Together, they help the body:

• Move out of fight/flight/freeze

• Regulate cortisol more effectively

• Support hormones and inflammation

• Restore mental clarity and emotional resilience

Clean, Natural, and Utilizable by the Body

These formulas use clean, natural ingredients that the body recognizes and can utilize.

They are designed to:

• Work with the body—not override it

• Support healing gently but effectively

• Complement nutrition, lifestyle, and foundational care

Feeling Like You Again

When cortisol is supported and the nervous system feels safe, many people report:

• Clearer thinking

• More stable energy

• Improved mood and motivation

• A sense of calm confidence

• Feeling like themselves again

Healing is not about forcing outcomes, it’s about creating the internal environment where the body can do what it was designed to do.
