The meeting starts in twelve minutes.

Your boss will be there. His boss will be there. You've prepared for this presentation for two weeks.

But right now, your hands are shaking. Your heart is pounding in your throat. Your mind is racing through everything that could go wrong.

You know your material. You've done this a hundred times. But your brain isn't cooperating.

The words you rehearsed are scrambled. The confidence you had this morning is gone. You're standing outside the conference room trying to remember how to breathe normally.

This isn't nerves. This is hijack.

Your stress response has taken over—and the part of your brain you need most just went dark.

Or maybe it's not a meeting. Maybe it's:

  • The 2pm overwhelm, when everything hits at once and you can't think straight
  • The difficult conversation you've been dreading
  • The moment your kids need you but your patience is gone
  • The deadline pressure that's turned your thoughts to static
  • The anxiety spiral that starts small and takes over everything

You know how to handle stress. You've been doing it your whole life.

But lately, your brain doesn't recover like it used to. The stress hits harder. The clarity takes longer to return. And sometimes it doesn't return at all—you just white-knuckle through and collapse later.

Here's what's actually happening:

Your stress response isn't broken. It's working exactly as designed.

The problem is, it's designed for running from predators—not presenting quarterly results.

And during hormonal transition, that response gets more sensitive. More easily triggered. Harder to turn off.

There's a biological reason your brain goes blank under pressure now.

And there's a way to take it back.

What stress actually does to your brain

When you feel threatened—physically or psychologically—your body releases cortisol.

Cortisol is your stress hormone. It's designed to help you survive danger. And it's extremely effective at that job.

Here's the problem:

Cortisol doesn't just make you "feel stressed." It literally changes how your brain functions.

When cortisol floods your system, it prioritizes your survival circuits—the ancient parts of your brain designed for fight or flight.

And it deprioritizes everything else.

Including your prefrontal cortex.

That's the part of your brain responsible for:

  • Clear thinking
  • Word retrieval
  • Complex reasoning
  • Emotional regulation
  • Executive function
  • Working memory

In other words: everything you need to perform under pressure.

This is called "cortical inhibition." Your prefrontal cortex literally goes offline when cortisol spikes.

That's why you blank on words you know perfectly well.

That's why you can't think straight when you're overwhelmed.

That's why simple decisions feel impossible when you're stressed.

That's why your brain turns to static right when you need it most.

You're not weak. You're not unprepared. You're not "bad under pressure."

Your brain is being chemically hijacked. And willpower can't override neurochemistry.

Why this is worse during hormonal transition

Here's what nobody tells you:

Estrogen helps regulate your stress response. It modulates cortisol. It supports the neurotransmitters that keep you calm under pressure.

When estrogen declines during perimenopause, your stress response becomes more reactive.

The same trigger that used to cause mild tension now causes full cortical shutdown.

The recovery that used to take minutes now takes hours—or doesn't happen at all.

The resilience you used to have is gone.

This isn't weakness. This isn't "losing your edge." This is biology.

Your stress response system lost a key regulator. Now it fires harder, faster, and longer than it should.

And your prefrontal cortex—the part you need for clear thinking—pays the price.

THE HIJACK CYCLE

Stress trigger → Cortisol spike → Prefrontal cortex goes offline → You can't think clearly → Performance suffers → More stress → More cortisol → Worse performance

This is why "just calm down" doesn't work.

You can't think your way out of a hijack. Your thinking brain is the part that's been hijacked.

You need to interrupt the cycle chemically—not mentally.

Interrupt the hijack. Get your brain back.

If stress hijacks your prefrontal cortex through neurochemistry, you need to take it back the same way.

That's what LIFTED Calm is designed to do.

Not sedation. Not numbing. Not "taking the edge off" by making you foggy.

A targeted neurochemical intervention that calms the stress response while keeping your mind sharp.*

L-Theanine promotes alpha brain waves—the same calm, focused state experienced during meditation. Alert but steady. Clear but relaxed.*

GABA is your brain's primary inhibitory neurotransmitter. It quiets the neural noise, calms the racing thoughts, and helps your prefrontal cortex come back online.*

Together, they interrupt the hijack without causing drowsiness.

The result?

Calm focus. On demand. In minutes.

Your heart rate settles.

Your thoughts organize.

Your words come back.

You're not sedated.

You're not numb.

You're you—the clear, capable version that stress tried to take away.

Why strips change everything

You can't wait 45 minutes for a capsule to kick in when the meeting starts in ten.

You can't pull out a pill bottle in the bathroom without someone noticing.

You can't swallow anything when your mouth is dry and your throat is tight from stress.

That's why LIFTED Calm comes in fast-acting oral strips.

THE SPEED:

Place the strip on your tongue. It dissolves in seconds—no water needed.

The active ingredients absorb through the mucous membrane in your mouth, bypassing digestion entirely.

Most women feel the effect within 15-20 minutes.

Not hours. Not "by tomorrow." Minutes.

THE DISCRETION:

A thin strip in a slim packet. Fits in your pocket, your purse, your desk drawer.

Use it in the bathroom. In your car. At your desk. Walking into the meeting.

Nobody knows. Nobody asks. It looks like a breath strip.

Your calm is your business.

THE CONVENIENCE:

No water. No choking down pills. No complicated timing.

One strip. Dissolves. Done.

Emergency support that's actually usable in an emergency.

WHY ORAL STRIPS WORK FASTER

Traditional supplements go through your digestive system:

Swallow → Stomach → Small intestine → Liver → Bloodstream → Brain

That takes 30-60 minutes minimum. Sometimes longer.

Oral strips bypass most of that:

Dissolve on tongue → Absorb through oral mucosa → Bloodstream → Brain

The active ingredients enter your bloodstream directly through the tissue in your mouth.

Faster absorption. Faster effect. Faster relief.

That's the difference between "I'll feel better eventually" and "I can handle this meeting."

What's inside LIFTED Calm

Every ingredient was selected for fast-acting, focused calm—without sedation. This isn't a sleep aid in disguise. It's precision support for acute stress.

L-THEANINE (50mg)

The Calm Focus Activator

What it does:

L-Theanine is an amino acid found naturally in green tea. It promotes alpha brain wave activity—the electrical pattern associated with calm, focused alertness.*

Why it matters:

Alpha waves are the state your brain enters during meditation. Relaxed but alert. Calm but focused. Present but not reactive.

L-Theanine helps shift your brain into this state without requiring 20 minutes of breathing exercises you don't have time for.

It also:

  • Increases GABA, dopamine, and serotonin activity*
  • Reduces the physiological markers of stress (heart rate, cortisol)*
  • Crosses the blood-brain barrier quickly for fast effects*
  • Does NOT cause drowsiness—it promotes alert relaxation*

The research:

Studies show L-Theanine reduces stress response within 30-40 minutes of consumption and promotes calm without sedation.* The effect has been measured in brain wave patterns, heart rate variability, and subjective stress scores.

This is the same compound that makes green tea calming without being sedating—concentrated and delivered directly.

GABA (25mg)

The Neural Noise Quieter

What it does:

GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) is your brain's primary inhibitory neurotransmitter. It calms neural activity, reduces excitability, and promotes relaxation.*

Why it matters:

When you're stressed, your brain is in overdrive. Neurons firing too fast. Thoughts racing. Mental noise everywhere.

GABA helps quiet that noise. It reduces the overactivity so your prefrontal cortex can come back online.*

Think of it as turning down the volume on the chaos so you can actually think.

The synergy:

GABA and L-Theanine work synergistically—research shows the combination is more effective than either ingredient alone.* L-Theanine also helps GABA cross the blood-brain barrier more effectively.

Together, they create a calm foundation without the sedation of pharmaceutical options.

VITAMIN B6 (6mg)

The Neurotransmitter Cofactor

What it does:

Vitamin B6 is essential for synthesizing neurotransmitters—including GABA, serotonin, and dopamine.*

Why it matters:

Your body needs B6 to convert the other ingredients into active, usable brain chemistry.* Without adequate B6, neurotransmitter production is impaired.

Many women in perimenopause are B6 deficient without knowing it—hormonal changes affect B vitamin metabolism.

This dose ensures your body has the cofactors it needs to use the L-Theanine and GABA effectively.

What it's like to use LIFTED Calm

THE MOMENT:

You're standing outside the conference room. Heart racing. Palms sweating. Brain spinning.

You reach into your pocket. Pull out a slim packet. Tear it open.

Place the strip on your tongue. It dissolves in seconds. Strawberry-peppermint. Actually pleasant.

You walk in. You sit down. You wait.

THE SHIFT:

Somewhere around minute 10-15, something changes.

It's subtle at first. Your heart isn't pounding quite as hard. Your thoughts aren't racing quite as fast.

By minute 15-20, it's noticeable.

The mental noise has quieted. The physical tension has eased. You can think.

Not sedated. Not numb. Not "out of it."

Clear. Focused. Present.

The words come. The confidence returns. You remember why you were prepared for this.

The meeting happens. You show up. You handle it.

And afterward? No crash. No fog. No "paying for it later."

Just... normal. Like the hijack never happened.

THE TIMELINE:

THE TASTE:

Strawberry-peppermint. Light and pleasant.

Not medicinal. Not chalky. Not something you dread taking.

Most women actually like the taste. Some keep them around just because.

THE HONEST TRUTH:

This isn't a magic pill that eliminates stress.

Stress is part of life. Some situations are legitimately stressful. LIFTED Calm doesn't make those situations disappear.

What it does is prevent the hijack.

It keeps your prefrontal cortex online when cortisol wants to shut it down. It lets you think clearly when your body wants to panic.

You still feel the situation. You just don't lose yourself in it.

That's the difference between surviving stress and performing through it.

When LIFTED Calm becomes your secret weapon

IN YOUR PURSE:

  • Before the presentation you've been dreading
  • Before the difficult conversation with your boss
  • Before the performance review (giving or receiving)
  • Before the client meeting where everything matters
  • Before the interview that could change everything

IN YOUR DESK DRAWER:

  • When the 2pm overwhelm hits and you can't think straight
  • When three people need something from you simultaneously
  • When the deadline pressure turns your thoughts to static
  • When you're drowning in tasks and can't prioritize
  • When someone drops a bomb and you need to respond intelligently

IN YOUR CAR:

  • Before walking into a family gathering that stresses you out
  • Before the difficult conversation with your teenager
  • Before picking up kids when you have nothing left to give
  • After a brutal day when you need to decompress before home
  • Before any situation where you need to be present, not reactive

IN YOUR NIGHTSTAND:

  • When you wake up at 3am with racing thoughts
  • When anxiety won't let you fall asleep
  • When tomorrow's worries are stealing tonight's rest
  • When your mind won't stop replaying and rehearsing

ANYWHERE, ANYTIME:

  • When you feel the hijack starting and you need to stop it
  • When you have five minutes to get yourself together
  • When you can't afford to be anything less than sharp
  • When the old you would have handled this easily—and you need her back

ONE STRIP. ONCE A DAY MAXIMUM.

LIFTED Calm is designed for acute stress—the moments when you need immediate support.

It's not a daily maintenance supplement. It's emergency backup for when life hits hard.

One strip per day maximum. Use it when you need it. Skip it when you don't.

Your calm, on your terms.

LIFTED Calm is for you if:

  • You're in your 40s or 50s and your stress response has gotten more intense—harder to stay calm, longer to recover
  • You blank on words, lose your train of thought, or can't think clearly when pressure hits
  • You have high-stakes moments where you can't afford to be anything less than sharp
  • You've noticed your "stress threshold" has dropped—things that didn't bother you before now trigger overwhelm
  • You need something fast-acting that you can use in the moment, not hours before
  • You want calm without drowsiness—alert and clear, not foggy and checked-out
  • You need something discreet that nobody will notice or question

This probably isn't for you if:

  • You want something to take daily for general anxiety (see a healthcare provider)
  • You're looking for sedation or something to help you sleep (try LIFTED Sleep instead)
  • You have a diagnosed anxiety disorder requiring medication (this is a supplement, not a treatment)
  • You want to feel "nothing"—this promotes calm clarity, not numbness

Women are taking their brains back

Katherine

I'm a litigator. I argue cases in front of judges. I've been doing this for twenty years. But in the last two years, something changed. I'd get to court and my mind would go blank. Heart racing. Words scrambled. That sharp, quick brain I'd built my career on—gone when I needed it most. I thought I was losing it. My doctor said 'stress.' Therapy helped but didn't fix the in-the-moment problem. A colleague mentioned LIFTED Calm. I was skeptical. But I was also desperate. First trial with it: I took a strip fifteen minutes before opening arguments. By the time I stood up, my heart rate was normal. My thoughts were organized. I delivered the opening I'd prepared—not some panicked version of it. I keep them in my briefcase now. Every trial. Every major hearing. Every situation where I can't afford to choke. It's not magic. It's just... my brain works when I need it to. That's everything.

Amanda

I have three kids, a job, aging parents, and a husband who travels constantly. There are moments—usually around 3pm—when it all hits at once. Everyone needs something. Emails piling up. Kids texting problems. Mom calling confused. And my brain just... stops. I can't prioritize. I can't think. I just stare at my screen wanting to cry. I started keeping LIFTED Calm strips in my desk drawer. When I feel the overwhelm starting—that tightness in my chest, that spinning in my head—I take one. Fifteen minutes later, I can think again. I can make a list. I can handle one thing at a time. I'm not supermom. I'm still exhausted. But I'm not paralyzed anymore. These little strips have saved more afternoons than I can count.

I read the research before I bought these. L-Theanine has legitimate studies—alpha wave promotion, stress response reduction, no sedation. GABA is well-established. The combination research checked out. I was skeptical about oral strip absorption, but the science on sublingual delivery is solid. Faster than capsules. More bioavailable. It made sense. I tested it before a conference presentation. Normally I'd be a wreck—shaky hands, racing heart, words disappearing. I took a strip twenty minutes before. The difference was measurable. Heart rate stayed in normal range. Hands steady. I could access my material. I gave the presentation I'd prepared, not some anxiety-ridden fragment of it. I've since used it for job interviews, difficult client calls, and a family confrontation I'd been dreading. The mechanism is sound. The effect is real. I've verified it myself.

How LIFTED Calm compares

You have options. Here's why most of them don't work for what you actually need:

LIFTED Calm

  • Speed: 15-20 min
  • Drowsiness: No—alert calm*
  • Mental clarity: Maintained*
  • Prescription: No
  • Drug test: No concerns
  • Dependency: No
  • Format: Fast strips
  • Discreet: Yes
  • At work: Professional

The goal isn't to feel nothing.

The goal is to feel calm AND sharp. Present AND clear. Relaxed AND capable.

That's what L-Theanine delivers—and what most alternatives don't.

You don't need to choose between calm and competent. You can have both.

One strip. Fifteen minutes. Your brain back online.

The next time life throws something at you—the meeting, the confrontation, the overwhelm—you'll be ready.

Not because you've eliminated stress. Because you've taken back control of your response to it.

That's the edge you've been missing.
