1. Educational Content Only

Cortivance provides general educational information about the physiological and behavioural links between chronic stress and body mass accumulation, based on contemporary scientific research. This content is intended to increase understanding of stress physiology and related mechanisms.

• Psychological or psychiatric advice
• Dietary or nutritional guidance
• Personal health recommendations or individualised advice

3. Individual Variation in Responses

Whilst this website describes general physiological mechanisms and population-level research findings, individual responses to stress vary substantially. The presence of chronic stress does not guarantee specific health outcomes. Conversely, some individuals may experience health changes unrelated to stress factors.

No information on this website should be interpreted as applicable to your specific circumstances without professional assessment by qualified healthcare providers familiar with your individual situation.

4. Research Limitations

The research summarised on this website reflects current scientific understanding. However:

• Scientific knowledge evolves; findings described may be modified by future research
• Most human stress research involves observational associations, which do not establish causal relationships
• Individual differences mean population-level findings do not necessarily apply to specific individuals
• Mechanisms described are based on current evidence but incompletely understood

5. No Guarantees of Outcomes

Cortivance makes no claims regarding specific health outcomes, weight changes, stress reduction, symptom improvement, or any physiological or psychological effects. The information describes scientific mechanisms and research findings but does not guarantee any particular result.
