GOAL STACK

The Stress Stack

Calmer baseline, no sedation.

4 SUPPLEMENTS~$58/MOVIA iHERB

Four ingredients that modulate the stress response from different angles. Ashwagandha lowers cortisol, L-theanine eases acute anxiety, magnesium relaxes the nervous system, and rhodiola builds resilience to chronic stress.

✓ BEST FOR
  • · Chronic stress
  • · Anxiety
  • · Burnout recovery
  • · High-pressure jobs
  • · Wired-but-tired evenings
⚠ IMPORTANT TO KNOW
  • · Skip ashwagandha if pregnant or on thyroid medication

Why this works

01
Lower baseline cortisol levels
02
Calmer response to daily stressors
03
Better sleep onset and quality
04
Reduced muscle tension and tightness

Expected timeline: L-theanine works same-day. Ashwagandha and rhodiola build over 4-8 weeks.
