Here’s how much weight you can lose by managing cortisol:
Research shows that nearly 7 in 10 adults struggle with weight gain, especially around the stomach.1
And if you’re one of them, listen up.
“You were probably told that cutting calories, exercising harder, or trying supplements would help.
But the truth is—these provide little to no effect when it comes to losing weight after 40,” says Dr. Leonardo Moretti, MD in Endocrinology.
Scientists confirm: As you age, it’s not just testosterone or estrogen that changes.
There’s another hormone silently building up over time—and it may be the real reason you can’t burn fat no matter what.2
“It causes brain fog, fatigue, cravings, and weight that won’t budge.3
And I’m going to show you how to reset it naturally,” says Dr. Moretti.
“After 40, cortisol—your stress hormone—gradually builds up,” Dr. Moretti explains.
And when cortisol stays high, it triggers several changes:
You may start noticing your body changing even if your habits haven’t.
And it’s not just about weight—it’s where the fat goes that matters most.

That’s because cortisol changes fat distribution.
It’s stored deep around your organs; what’s called visceral fat—the dangerous kind, linked to heart disease, diabetes, and inflammation.
Even if you’ve tried cutting calories, fasting, or pushing yourself at the gym… if you don’t address cortisol, nothing really changes.
“That’s why most people over 40 find themselves stuck,” Dr. Moretti says.
“Low energy. Weight gain. Poor sleep. And no plan seems to work.”
We know common solutions to lower cortisol don’t work after 40.
“They’re either too extreme to maintain or too weak to work,” says Dr. Moretti. “But there is something that does it.”
It wasn’t a supplement.
It wasn’t a cleanse.
It wasn’t a strict workout plan.
“This way of eating has always been close to home for me,” says Dr. Moretti.
“I grew up in a Mediterranean family, and I recommend these principles to patients all the time—for heart health, longevity, and hormonal balance.”4
But then I discovered something that changed everything.
I’d always seen the Mediterranean Diet as a long-term lifestyle—something that slowly improves your health over time…
The Mediterranean Diet is one of the most scientifically validated eating patterns in the world.5
Decades of research show it lowers the risk of heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and even cognitive decline. 6
It’s rich in anti-inflammatory ingredients known to protect against chronic illness, support gut health, and keep blood sugar and energy stable throughout the day. 7
It’s not just a diet—it’s a foundation for lifelong wellness.
— Dr. Leonardo Moretti, MD in Endocrinology.
What I didn’t expect… was how fast it could work when done the right way.
By adapting traditional Mediterranean principles to support cortisol, the plan becomes a metabolic reset. It delivers visible results in days.
Just imagine yourself with—1 or 2 inches off your waist in just a week or -8 pounds in a surprisingly short time. It’s a boost of motivation to keep on going.
“People following this meal plan reported more energy, fewer mood swings, better sleep, and stubborn belly fat melting away,” says Dr. Moretti.
Unlike restrictive diets, it doesn’t push your body into more stress. Instead, it helps your system reset and makes weight loss effortless.
That’s why this plan was developed—to be structured, personalized, and designed for fast results.
And the best part? There’s no need to count calories, give up carbs, do exhausting workouts, or live in the gym.

“After further research, I found something even better: a Personalized Cortisol Detox Plan.
It’s a personalized nutrition plan created by nutritionists, using Mediterranean principles adapted for modern life, with ingredients that can be easily found outside Mediterranean countries.
First, the free quiz takes all the necessary information from you, calculates it meticulously, and shows you the possible outcomes if you follow the plan,” says Dr. Moretti.
Then they give you:
✅ A fully personalized Mediterranean-based meal plan, tailored to support cortisol balance,
✅ shopping lists,
✅ additional tips for sustainable results,
✅ easy, optional workouts to boost the results.
No questions unanswered.
You just follow your personalized plan for a selected amount of time, and weight loss becomes almost automatic…
“I reviewed the program closely. And to my surprise, it WAS actually one of the most advanced and practical approaches I’d come across,” Dr. Moretti says.
“I began recommending the Mediterranean Cortisol Reset to my clients, and the results spoke for themselves,” says Dr. Moretti.
They weren’t just losing fat.
They were gaining control of their lives again.

“It wasn’t just about the scale—my patients felt like themselves again.
It was incredible to witness the transformation—not just physically, but emotionally too,” says Dr. Moretti.
The best part? It doesn’t feel like a ‘diet’ at all.
No starving.
No green juice fads.
No exhausting workouts.
Just a natural reset—designed for people over 40.
Thousands have already started their journey with Mediterranean Challenge and are finally seeing real, lasting change.
But as Dr. Moretti says himself, “Don’t take my word for it—try it yourself.”
