Cortisol Detox

Restore Your Calm: Reverse Metabolic Stress and High Cortisol

Science-Backed Guidance to Lower Cortisol Levels and Heal Your Metabolism

At Venn Integrative Medicine, Lindsay Venn, PA-C, RD, MHP, specializes in helping patients navigate the complex relationship between chronic stress and internal biochemistry. When your body is stuck in a constant fight or flight state, your adrenal glands overproduce adrenal stress hormones, leading to a cascade of issues ranging from adrenal dysfunction to stubborn weight gain.

By addressing the signaling between the pituitary gland and the adrenals, Lindsay helps you modulate your cortisol response. Our approach isn’t about simple calorie restriction; it’s about fixing the underlying metabolic health to stop the cycle of long-term cortisol imbalance.

What is a Cortisol Detox?

A cortisol detox is a clinical strategy to normalize the body’s primary stress hormone. High cortisol levels act as a metabolic toxin, often elevating blood sugar levels and increasing cardiometabolic risk. Through a blood test or specialized cortisol test, we identify your unique metabolic biomarkers to create a roadmap for recovery.

The Benefits of Mastering Your Stress Response

Regulating your hormones is critical for long-term wellness. By partnering with us to manage your adrenal stress, you can experience:

  • Improved Cardiovascular Markers: Lowering stress hormones helps stabilize blood pressure and supports overall heart function.
  • Effective Weight Loss: We move away from the “eat less, move more” myth, focusing on how a regulated cortisol response allows the body to finally release stored fat.
  • Enhanced Mental Well-being: By fixing your sleep/awake cycle and improving sleep habits, you can eliminate brain fog and anxiety.
  • Reduced Inflammation: High cortisol is linked to autoimmune diseases, Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), and many more health problems. Regulating this hormone is a key step in managing these chronic conditions.
  • Physical Resilience: Balancing your hormones protects your muscles and bones, making your physical activity more effective.

How Lindsay Venn Helps You Manage Your Cortisol

Lindsay provides a high-touch, medical experience that replaces “symptom chasing” with root-cause solutions.

Clinical Evaluations & Diagnostic Testing

Your journey begins with a deep dive into your labs. We look at a comprehensive blood panel and saliva panel to evaluate your metabolic biomarkers, thyroid, and sex hormones.

We look at advanced labs to identify exactly where your body needs support, whether through specific dietary changes or targeted interventions.

Stress-Reducing Foods & Nutritional Therapy

Nutrition is your most powerful tool. Lindsay moves beyond basic dieting to focus on stress-reducing foods that calm the nervous system.

  • Healthy Fats: Integrating omega-3 fatty acids to reduce brain inflammation.
  • Smart Carbs: Swapping refined sugars for healthy fats, protein and fiber rich foods to prevent the glucose spikes that trigger cortisol.
  • Strategic Supplementation: Using evidence-based micronutrients to support the adrenal glands.

Access to the 90-Day Metabolic Course

To ensure you have the foundational knowledge for success, Lindsay provides access to a comprehensive 90-day course in collaboration with Insulin IQ.

This curriculum teaches you the science of blood sugar levels and provides the tools to maintain hormone balance for a lifetime.

Testimonials
What My Clients are Saying
I feel like women who are in menopause are an overlooked and forgotten group who need the most help of all. I am so thankful to have found a provider who looks at my entire picture and can help me feel as young as I feel like I am
Becky B.
Working with Lindsay on my diet has been lifechanging! I had Crohn’s that was debilitating and with simple changes to my diet, I can say I have put my Crohn’s into remission and have never felt better!
Chad D.
Working with a provider who is experienced with HRT has been such a different experience than I had with my PCP. She gave me so many options and was able to educate me on all the pros and cons of each and recommended the route that was best for me.
Carolyn C.
I work really hard on my health, I eat right and exercise daily, but until I started HRT I simply could not feel as good as I deserved to feel. It has been life changing!
Jodi F.
I found Lindsay to help me with my energy levels and working with her has been great. We have tweaked my diet and optimized my thyroid and testosterone and I am back up and running like I am 10 years younger
John S.
I have worked with other providers with my HRT and they failed to listen to what my goals with HRT were. I was always requesting they make changes and they would not. Finding a provider who LISTENS and helps me achieve my goals has made all the difference!
Susan Y.
They ordered some bloodwork, but my labs came back “normal” and therefore, my concerns were dismissed despite my persistence that something was definitely wrong with me. I knew I shouldn’t feel the way I did, so I began to look elsewhere. That’s when I found Lindsay Venn, who specializes in metabolic health. From my first visit, I felt listened to and understood. She had experience with other people like me, and knew that just because my numbers were “normal”, doesn’t mean they are optimal for me and my specific goals. She allowed me to make decisions based upon how I feel and what my body needs. I haven’t felt this good in a very long time and am so happy I found Lindsay!
