In partnership with Apothékary.

I don’t need to tell you that the holiday season is an indulgent time – and yet, here I am telling you exactly that because, well, it’s tough to navigate! And it’s always nice to know you aren’t the only person doing mental gymnastics as you traverse a handful of holiday parties, gift swaps, and cookie-making soirées while juggling having fun and feeling good. Even writing that exhausted me.

Luckily, I recently learned that all of that made me a perfect candidate for the 10-Minute Cortisolved Method. Perhaps you are too.

This three-step, ten-minute ritual is designed to (gently) pull you out of the holiday highs and lows, support more stable energy, and help you greet the new year without feeling like you need a total reboot. Here’s why it works – and how Apothékary is making it feel approachable.

Step 1: Reverse the Sugar Spiral with Sugar Kick™

This first step is all about managing cravings and balancing your blood sugar. Sugar Kick™ is formulated with ingredients like ume plum vinegar (which supports healthy digestion), apple cider vinegar (enhances overall digestion), and bitter melon (supports healthy blood sugar metabolism). Together, they help moderate post-mealspikes, meaning fewer crashes, fewer cravings, and less of the “why did I eat that?” spiral. A dropper full before sweets or with your favorite festive drink can help you feel more grounded, less snacky, and more in control.

Step 2: Turn Down the Internal Fire with Blue Burn®

This is where we’ll slow down your stress response and support metabolism, because when you’re juggling travel, gifting, year-end deadlines, and sugar galore, your body tends to hover in fight or flight. Blue Burn® steps in with adaptogens and herbs that target imbalances of stress hormones like cortisol, which can contribute to stress-eating and excessive cravings. It’s designed to support metabolic health and help keep cortisol in check so you’re not riding those jittery, overcaffeinated, under-rested waves.

Step 3: Bookend Your Day with Wine Down™

Just as important? Lowering cortisol at night to support deep, high-quality sleep. Whether you’re wide awake because you ate cookies at 9pm or because your mind is replaying tomorrow’s to-do list, Wine Down™ helps bring your nervous system back to baseline. Its blend is crafted to calm the body, support natural melatonin rhythms, and ease the transition from “go go go” to zzz. After all, nothing stabilizes cravings, mood, and energy like consistent, deep sleep (and a non-groggy morning to boot).

New Year, More Balanced You‍

Once January rolls around, the Cortisolved Method becomes less about damage control and more about optimization. Balancing blood sugar boosts steady energy for workouts, managing cortisol reduces stress and enhances recovery, and deep sleep supports improves mood, immunity, and performance. In other words: this isn’t just a holiday survival ritual — it’s a foundation for a stronger, calmer, more energized 2026.
