==== ✅ Supplements that might help (with caveats) ====

Here are supplements commonly discussed for people under high cortisol / stress — or with Cushing-like symptoms. Use cautiously, especially with high blood pressure or other conditions.

| Magnesium (e.g. glycinate)                              | Helps nervous system relaxation, may improve sleep and stress tolerance; some sources suggest it helps modulate cortisol clearance.

| Vitamin C                                               | Supports adrenal and immune function; antioxidant — may help with oxidative stress from chronic high cortisol.

| Vitamin D + Calcium (or calcium-rich diet)              | Important for bone health; with Cushing’s there’s increased risk of bone thinning/osteoporosis.

| Phosphatidylserine                                      | Some evidence it may blunt stress-induced cortisol spikes and support cognition/mental focus.
