Only at the Q Can you find Dr. K - a real Doctor


Block stress, belly fat and heart disease with QVitalize!
Cortisol is called the "stress hormone" and it causes belly fat (which is really bad for the heart), not to mention anxiety, insomnia, and high blood pressure. It increases stress, which increases cortisol levels further, so it is a vicious cycle. Our hectic society, high expectations, poor diet, and lack of regular exercise add to the cortisol problem. It is truly a modern epidemic that is fueling spiraling problems with obesity, heart disease, depression, and other stress-related illnesses.
The herbs in QVitalize were chosen specifically to block the body's production of cortisol and to smooth out hormone levels for both men and women.
·       There are two cortisol spikes during the day - one in the morning and one in mid-afternoon. For this reason, QVitalize in the QSentials packs is taken at those times.
·       One of the causes of cortisol release is a lack of available energy. When we are not feeling 100% we worry that we can't do all the things we need to do during the day. This worry in turn creates more stress and more cortisol.
·       ALL of the herbs in both men's and women's formulas act to block cortisol production. Some of this is direct blockage by a biochemical action and some is indirect due to the calming effects, such as with ashwaganda (men's) and black cohosh (women's). Damiana (both) is renowned for its gentle calming action.
·       As all the herbs also have stimulating or energizing benefits, we can relax knowing that we will be able to respond to any situation with poise and alert mindfulness.
Cortisol modulation is one of the many reasons that QVitalize benefits build over time. Belly fat may take awhile to dissolve, but addressing the root cause with the right herbs at the right times will solve even that pesky problem! So when you take your QSentials packs, rest assured that you are doing your body and mind lasting good. You will feel better immediately and the longer you take it the better you will look!
