The next frontier in medicine isn’t another drug.

It’s a radical shift in how we view the body, the brain, and disease itself.

Depression is often rooted in systemic inflammation, gut dysbiosis, mitochondrial dysfunction, insulin resistance, trauma, or disrupted circadian rhythms. ADHD may be tied to neuroinflammation, poor blood sugar control, or nutritional gaps like low magnesium, zinc, or omega-3s. And heart disease? It’s largely a food-borne illness, driven by a diet of ultra-processed, inflammatory, nutrient-poor calories.

There is no single root cause. But there are root causes.
And they are almost always connected by lifestyle, environment, and systems-level dysfunction.

Medications have their place… But they were never designed to reverse chronic disease. They manage symptoms, often while the underlying dysfunction worsens.

If we want to reverse the chronic disease epidemic, mental and physical, we need to stop asking what drug treats this and start asking why the body lost balance in the first place.

The answer isn’t in the pharmacy… It’s in how we eat, move, sleep, connect, and live.
It’s in our soil, our food system, our communities, our kitchens.

The next revolution in medicine will come not from the lab but from returning to the root.

Cortisol is produced by the adrenal gland in the zona fasciculata, the second of three layers comprising the cortex. The cortex forms the outer "bark" of each adrenal gland, situated atop the kidneys.

Cortisol is a member of the glucocorticoid family (GLUcose + CORTex + sterOID). It is made in the cortex of the adrenal glands, binds the glucocorticoid receptor, and raises glucose, among other tasks.

The release of cortisol is controlled by the hypothalamus in the brain via the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. The secretion of corticotropin-releasing hormone by the hypothalamus triggers cells in the neighboring anterior pituitary to secrete another hormone, the adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), into the vascular system.

The HPA hormones have a diurnal pattern of secretion such that cortisol levels are high at awakening, reach a peak 30 min after awakening and then decrease throughout the day to their lowest levels at approximately midnight (Edwards et al., 2001).

The control system is the HPATG: Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal-Thyroid-Gonadal axis (where go**ds refer to the ovaries in women, and te**es in men). When you work with the control system, and unlock the adrenals first, you don’t need to replace every hormone that is low.

It’s important to know that cortisol is the boss and at the top of the hierarchy, because cortisol levels are the top priority – you will sacrifice production of thyroid and s*x hormones (estrogen, progesterone, androgens) if you have dysregulated cortisol.

When you have high perceived stress, you make more cortisol—it gets stolen from pregnenolone (the mother hormone) and other hormones levels are likely to drop. That’s why navigating stress is so crucial to natural hormone balance.
