Written by Dr. Cavanaugh for people who want to go deeper but insist on the science behind each claim. Inner Circle members get every copy signed.
You don't need a pharmacy. You need a pantry, and the science to use it.
Ear infections at 2 a.m. Sunburns on vacation. The stomach bug that tears through your house every winter. You've handled all of it before, but what if you could handle it better? With solutions you made yourself, from ingredients you trust, backed by research you can actually read?
The Evidence-Based Handmade Apothecary bridges the gap between what you can buy and what you can build. Inside, you'll find 65+ formulas for everything a typical family faces in a year, including pain relief, respiratory support, skin care, digestive health, and more, each one grounded in clinical research and designed for your kitchen, not a lab.
This isn't folk wisdom dressed up as science. Every formula includes the studies behind it, realistic expectations, proper dosing, and clear guidance on when to use it and when to call a physician.
Real science. Real remedies. Made by you.
About the Author
Dr. Jessie Cavanaugh has spent years translating scientific literature into practical, accessible formulas for home use. Her work focuses on bridging the gap between peer-reviewed research and the real-world needs of families who want safe, effective alternatives without sacrificing rigor. She is the founder of Nutraceuticals Research Institute and believes the best medicine cabinet is one you understand completely.
You're exhausted but can't sleep. You can't lose weight despite doing everything "right." You catch every cold. Your doctor says your labs are normal, but you feel terrible. You've tried meditation, supplements, and sleep hygiene. Some of it helps a little, but you're still barely holding it together.
The Female Stress Protocol explains why: Women's stress physiology operates fundamentally differently than men's. We don't habituate as quickly to repeated stressors. We show stronger cortisol responses to interpersonal threats. Perimenopause removes hormonal buffering right when life stress peaks. And most stress research, the foundation for all that advice you've been following, was conducted on men.
This book translates clinical research on female stress physiology into actionable protocols. You'll get strategies tested in randomized controlled trials, including Dr. Cavanaugh's pioneering research on how ashwagandha modulates cortisol awakening response, essential oils for nervous system regulation, and the 14-day protocol that addresses both circadian rhythm disruption and chronic stress activation, targeting the root cause, not just symptoms.
About the Author: Dr. Jessie Cavanaugh is a clinical researcher specializing in women's health and botanical interventions. She has conducted randomized controlled trials on cortisol regulation, stress recovery, immune function, and post-viral fatigue, including research on ashwagandha's effects on cortisol awakening response, essential oils for anxiety and cognitive function, elderberry for illness prevention and recovery, and antibiotic use patterns in women. Her work focuses on bringing clinical trial methodology to natural health interventions, testing what actually works rather than relying on tradition or marketing claims.
