Don’t Drop the Cookie — Drop the Cortisol

by Ali Novitsky, MD

Have you been hearing about DistressRx™ and wondering what the buzz is about?

This holiday season, I’ve created something special just for you — a chance to laugh, regulate, and actually enjoy the holidays again.

Don’t Drop the Cookie — Drop the Cortisol

A 3-Part DistressRx™ Mind-Body Reset Series 

Three live sessions designed to help you move through the season with humor, grace, and evidence-based stress relief.

Because let’s be honest, cortisol doesn’t take holidays off (and neither do family dynamics).
Whether it’s unsolicited advice, too many gifts, or the dog stealing the cookies, your nervous system deserves a reset — not a meltdown.

You’ll:

  • Learn why the holidays spike your cortisol (and how to calm it fast)

  • Discover your unique DistressRx™ stress subtype

  • Build micro-habits to enter 2026 in regulation, not recovery

It’s not another webinar. It’s your cortisol-calming, connection-filled reset.

Drop the cortisol. Keep the cookie.

Let’s make this the year you actually enjoy the holidays.

See you there!!
