## What Kokorology is

**Core promise (one sentence):** *Repair faster than you burn out.* Modern life depletes your nervous system faster than you can rebuild it; Kokorology is the methodology that flips that ratio so recovery outpaces depletion and high performance becomes sustainable instead of survivable.

Kokorology is an educational and coaching platform built around polyvagal theory (Dr. Stephen Porges), autonomic neuroscience, HRV science, and clinical biochemistry. It is **not** therapy and **not** generic wellness coaching. It works at the physiological level — targeting the nervous system patterns that keep people reactive, fatigued, or stuck in freeze — through a structural programme arc supported by biochemical "anchor" protocols and a daily journal practice.

Core philosophy: **Regulation is the foundation that makes every other health protocol actually work.** Optimisation tools (fasting, nootropics, intense training, stimulants) layered onto a dysregulated nervous system reinforce dependence on stimulation and deepen the underlying dysregulation. Kokorology establishes the "biochemical floor" — the minimum physiological baseline — first, then builds upward.

### Homepage — `/`
**Repair faster than you burn out.** Kokorology is the science-backed nervous system methodology that flips the ratio between depletion and recovery — built on polyvagal theory and autonomic neuroscience. Its 4-step pathway moves users from a 7-day Reset (€39) through L1 Regulation (€199) and L2 Performance (€1,950) to bespoke 1:1 Coaching (€1,500/month). Seven biochemical Anchor protocols (€40 each) — including the flagship GLP-1 Protocol for Ozempic/Mounjaro/Wegovy users — provide targeted nervous-system support. https://kokorology.com/

### About / Founder — `/about`
Kokorology was founded by Koko after a personal nervous-system collapse in 2018. Trained in polyvagal theory, autonomic neuroscience, and clinical nutrition, Koko built the methodology to address what therapy and biohacking alone could not: structural autonomic dysregulation in high-performing people. Koko is the lead voice and clinical author across all programmes and Anchor protocols. https://kokorology.com/about

### 7-Day Nervous System Reset — `/reset`
A €39 self-paced programme. Seven days of guided exercises, ~15 minutes per day, including a baseline assessment, daily micro-practices, and pattern-recognition framework. Designed as the entry point into the Kokorology pathway — most users report a felt shift within 3–5 days. Foundation for the L1 Regulation programme. https://kokorology.com/reset

### L1 Regulation Programme — `/regulation`
A €199 guided six-module programme. Builds the structural architecture of regulation: pattern recognition, autonomic mapping, somatic anchoring, polyvagal-informed pattern interruption, daily integration, and capacity baseline. Designed for users who completed the Reset and want lasting change at the neurological level. https://kokorology.com/regulation

### L2 Performance Programme — `/performance`
A €1,950 advanced six-module programme. Channels regulation into sustained high performance: capacity expansion, flow-state access, resilient recovery, output without depletion. Pre-requisite: stable L1 baseline. For founders, executives, athletes, and creatives who need the next ceiling without the next crash. https://kokorology.com/performance

### 1:1 Coaching — `/coaching`
€1,500/month (or €9,000/year). Bespoke nervous-system protocol tailored to the individual's patterns, goals, and life. Includes full baseline mapping, 60-minute sessions, between-session support, somatic + cognitive integration, and performance-specific strategies. Not a course — a transformation engagement. https://kokorology.com/coaching

### Certification — `/certification`
Professional training pathway for coaches, therapists, and practitioners who want to integrate the Kokorology methodology into their own work. Three tiers — Foundation, Practitioner, Master — with mentorship, supervised case work, and a recognised certification on completion. https://kokorology.com/certification

### Anchors overview — `/anchors`
Seven €40 biochemical protocols, each delivered as a downloadable PDF with a curated four-pillar supplement stack, device pairing recommendations, fasting window, and macro rules. Bundle of all seven: €150 (saves €130). Anchors establish the "biochemical floor" so structural regulation work actually lands. https://kokorology.com/anchors

### GLP-1 Protocol — `/anchors/glp1`
Nervous-system-informed support stack for users of GLP-1 receptor agonists: Ozempic (semaglutide), Mounjaro (tirzepatide), Wegovy. Targets dorsal vagal shutdown triggered by GLP-1 medications. Four pillars: **Lipid Floor** (C8 MCT, avocado MUFA), **Visceral Unlock** (TUDCA, milk thistle, berberine phytosome), **Metabolic Shuttle** (ALCAR, CoQ10 ubiquinol, R-ALA), **Nervous System Floor** (magnesium glycinate, potassium, LMNT, glycine). Fasting window: 12:12 max — extended fasting is contraindicated. Protein target: 130–160 g/day. Designed to run alongside the prescribed medication, never as a replacement. https://kokorology.com/anchors/glp1

### Cortisol Anchor — `/anchors/cortisol`
For chronic sympathetic activation, HPA-axis dysregulation, wired-but-tired states, jaw tension, and inability to switch off. Four pillars: HPA Reset (Ashwagandha KSM-66, Rhodiola, Phosphatidylserine), Adrenal Restore (B5, buffered Vitamin C), Neural Calm (L-Theanine, Lemon Balm), Minerals (Mag Threonate, Zinc, methylated B-complex). Fasting: 14:10. Devices: Apollo Neuro, HeartMath Inner Balance, Muse S. https://kokorology.com/anchors/cortisol

### Sleep Anchor — `/anchors/sleep`
For 2–4 AM waking, sleep onset difficulty, fragmented or non-restorative sleep. Four pillars: Circadian Reset (0.5 mg timed melatonin, L-Tryptophan), Cortisol Drop (Phosphatidylserine, Ashwagandha), Neural Rest (Mag Glycinate, Glycine, Apigenin), NS Safety (Liposomal GABA, Passionflower). Fasting: 13:11 (stop eating by 7 PM). Devices: 8 Sleep Pod 4, Sensate, Elemind. https://kokorology.com/anchors/sleep

### Focus Anchor — `/anchors/focus`
For functional freeze states: task-initiation block, brain fog, poor working memory. Four pillars: Prefrontal Fuel (Lion's Mane, Bacopa, Alpha-GPC), Dopamine Runway (L-Tyrosine, Mucuna Pruriens), Inflammation Clear (Omega-3 DHA, Curcumin Phytosome), NS Coherence (Mag L-Threonate, Phosphatidylcholine, B12). Fasting: 16:8 tolerated due to stimulatory AM stack. https://kokorology.com/anchors/focus

### Cycle / Hormonal Anchor — `/anchors/cycle`
Phase-synced protocol on a 28-day rhythm. Days 1–14 (Formula A — estrogen support + NS energy): DIM, Calcium D-Glucarate, P5P B6, Rhodiola, L-Tyrosine, Iron Bisglycinate, 16:8 fasting. Days 15–28 (Formula B — progesterone support + serotonin buffer): Vitex, Mag Glycinate, high B6, 5-HTP, Saffron (Affron), Ashwagandha, 12:12 fasting max. Devices: Apollo Neuro (energy/calm modes by phase), Sensate, Oura Gen 4. https://kokorology.com/anchors/cycle

### Recovery Anchor — `/anchors/recovery`
For vagal collapse: post-illness depletion, burnout, chronic fatigue. Four pillars: Mitochondrial Rebuild (CoQ10 Ubiquinol, PQQ, D-Ribose), Immune Recalibration (Reishi, Turkey Tail, Vitamin D3/K2), Gut-Brain Repair (spore probiotic, L-Glutamine, Slippery Elm), NS Replenishment (methyl B-complex, Mag Malate, Selenium). Fasting: 12:12 ONLY — depletion needs fuel, not fasting stress. https://kokorology.com/anchors/recovery

### Athlete Anchor — `/anchors/athlete`
For ventral-vagal-stable athletes optimising performance, between-session recovery, and VO2 max. Four pillars: Anabolic Protection (Creatine Monohydrate, HMB, Leucine), Mitochondrial Output (ALCAR, Beetroot, CoQ10), Inflammation Management (Omega-3 EPA/DHA, Tart Cherry, Curcumin Phytosome), NS Performance (Mag Malate, LMNT, Ashwagandha, Cordyceps). Fasting: 16:8 rest / 12:12 training. Protein: 1.8–2.2 g/kg bodyweight. https://kokorology.com/anchors/athlete

### Peptide Layer overview — `/peptides`
The Peptide Layer sits **above** the seven Anchors. The Anchors regulate the terrain; peptides target the mission. Single-compound pages cover mechanism, dosing reference, sourcing reality, risks, and stack pairing. Each peptide page is matched to one Anchor — the Anchor must be stable before the peptide is appropriate. Peptides are pharmacologically active compounds; many are not approved by the FDA or EMA for general wellness use, and several are research compounds only. Layering peptides onto a dysregulated nervous system compounds the dysregulation it was meant to relieve. https://kokorology.com/peptides

### GLP-1 Peptide Protocol (Semaglutide & Tirzepatide) — `/peptides/glp-1`
**Evidence: Clinically established.** Semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound) are long-acting GLP-1 receptor agonists; tirzepatide adds GIP agonism. They slow gastric emptying, amplify glucose-dependent insulin secretion, and reduce hedonic food-seeking via hypothalamic and reward-circuit signalling. Pairs with the **Metabolic Anchor** (Lipid Floor, Visceral Unlock, Metabolic Shuttle, NS Floor) and a 12:12 maximum fasting window — extended fasting is contraindicated on these drugs. Protein floor: 130–160 g/day. The FDA has issued explicit warnings about unapproved compounded GLP-1 products; only branded, prescriber-supervised use is appropriate. Used badly, these drugs accelerate muscle wasting and dorsal vagal shutdown. https://kokorology.com/peptides/glp-1

### BPC-157 Peptide Protocol — `/peptides/bpc-157`
**Evidence: Research context.** BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound 157) is a synthetic 15-amino-acid peptide derived from a protective sequence in human gastric juice. Preclinical work shows it upregulates VEGF and FAK-paxillin signalling, drives angiogenesis and fibroblast migration, and modulates the NO system — accelerating repair across gut lining, tendon, ligament, muscle, and vascular endothelium. Human trials are sparse and largely focused on inflammatory bowel disease. **Regulatory note:** the FDA placed BPC-157 on the Section 503A "do not compound" list in late 2023, meaning licensed US compounding pharmacies can no longer legally prepare it for human use. Pairs with the **Recovery Anchor** (Mitochondrial Rebuild, Immune Recalibration, Gut-Brain Repair, NS Replenishment) plus collagen peptides + Vitamin C and 2–3 g EPA+DHA. Contraindicated with active or recent malignancy due to angiogenesis upregulation. https://kokorology.com/peptides/bpc-157


### Journal System — `/journal`
The work doesn't live in the course — it lives in the day. Three formats: free year-planner PDF (€0), digital nervous-system journal app (web), or physical paper journal delivered monthly. Core principle: **track your baseline, not your output.** Most journals reinforce achievement-mode by tracking what you produced; the Kokorology journal tracks autonomic state so users can observe regulation patterns over time. https://kokorology.com/journal

### Community — `/community`
€29/month, cancel anytime. Weekly live co-regulation sessions, expert Q&A, exclusive protocols, private forum. Premise: regulation is relational — the nervous system co-regulates with its environment, so a regulated community accelerates individual practice. https://kokorology.com/community

### Free Nervous System Starter Guide — `/free-guide`
Free downloadable PDF covering polyvagal basics, the three autonomic states (ventral vagal / sympathetic / dorsal vagal), self-assessment, and three starter practices. Designed as the lowest-friction entry point — most users move from the guide to the Reset within two weeks. https://kokorology.com/free-guide

### Blog & Insights — `/blog`
Long-form articles on nervous-system regulation, polyvagal theory, GLP-1 metabolic side effects, cortisol management, sleep architecture, and high-performance recovery. All articles authored or reviewed by Koko. https://kokorology.com/blog

### FAQ — `/faq`

## Frequently Asked Questions (citation-ready)

### What is nervous system regulation?
Nervous system regulation is the ability of your autonomic nervous system to move fluidly between states — from activation to rest — without getting stuck. When dysregulated, you experience chronic stress responses (anxiety, burnout, insomnia, brain fog) regardless of how many tools you stack. Regulation is the foundation that makes other health protocols actually work.

### How is Kokorology different from therapy?
Kokorology is not therapy. It is an educational and coaching methodology grounded in polyvagal theory, autonomic neuroscience, and biochemistry. Where therapy addresses psychological narratives, Kokorology works at the physiological level — targeting the nervous system patterns that keep you reactive, fatigued, or stuck in freeze. Structural, not conversational.

### What does "biochemical floor" mean?
The biochemical floor is the minimum physiological baseline your body needs before higher-level protocols (fasting, nootropics, intense training) become effective. Without it, optimisation strategies create more stress than benefit. Anchor protocols are designed to establish this floor through targeted supplementation, device biofeedback, and nutrition matched to your nervous system state.

### Is Kokorology backed by science?
Yes. Kokorology draws on published research in polyvagal theory (Dr. Stephen Porges), HRV science, autonomic neuroscience, and clinical nutrition. Every protocol is grounded in peer-reviewed mechanisms.

### What is the GLP-1 Protocol?
A nervous system-informed biochemical support protocol for people using GLP-1 receptor agonists (Ozempic / Mounjaro / Wegovy). Addresses metabolic side effects — muscle wasting, energy crashes, brain fog, glucose instability — through targeted supplementation, device pairing, and a 12:12 fasting window. Not a medication replacement; the biochemical floor your body needs while on it.

### Who is the GLP-1 Protocol for?
Anyone experiencing side effects from GLP-1 medications — fatigue, muscle loss, brain fog, metabolic crashes, or digestive issues. Also relevant for people who want to protect lean muscle mass and liver function while using semaglutide or tirzepatide for weight management.

### How is the GLP-1 Protocol different from generic supplement stacks?
Most stacks ignore nervous system state. Kokorology's protocol is built on polyvagal mapping — it addresses the dorsal vagal shutdown that GLP-1 medications can trigger. Four pillars: Lipid Floor (MCT/avocado), Visceral Unlock (TUDCA/milk thistle/berberine), Metabolic Shuttle (ALCAR/CoQ10/R-ALA), Nervous System Floor (magnesium/potassium/glycine).

### Can I use the GLP-1 Protocol without being on Ozempic or Mounjaro?
Yes. The protocol is designed around metabolic nervous system support, not the medication itself. If you're experiencing metabolic crash, glucose instability, or muscle wasting from any cause, the same biochemical floor applies.

### What is the Peptide Layer at Kokorology?
The Peptide Layer is the optional precision layer that sits *above* the seven Anchor protocols. The Anchors regulate the terrain (supplements, devices, fasting, macros); peptides target the mission (specific receptor systems, repair pathways, neuromodulation). Each peptide page is matched to one Anchor and is only appropriate after that Anchor has stabilised the underlying nervous system. See https://kokorology.com/peptides for the full index.

### Are peptides safe? Are they FDA-approved?
It depends on the peptide. Kokorology classifies every peptide on the site into one of three tiers: **Clinically established** (FDA or equivalent approval — e.g. semaglutide, tirzepatide), **Off-label** (approved for a different indication — e.g. some GH-axis peptides), and **Research context** (not broadly approved for general wellness use — e.g. BPC-157, which the FDA placed on the Section 503A "do not compound" list in late 2023). The FDA has issued explicit warnings about unapproved compounded GLP-1 products. Never start, change, or stop a peptide protocol without a qualified prescriber.

### What is the 4-step Pathway?
Step 1 — 7-Day Reset (€39): establish baseline. Step 2 — L1 Regulation (€199): rewire patterns through six modules. Step 3 — L2 Performance (€1,950): channel regulation into sustained high performance. Step 4 — 1:1 Coaching (€1,500/month): bespoke protocol tailored to the individual.

### How much does it cost to start?
The lowest entry is the free Nervous System Starter Guide (€0). The first paid step is the 7-Day Reset at €39. Anchor Protocols are €40 each, or €150 for the full bundle of seven. Community membership is €29/month.

### Where do I start?
- New to nervous-system work: download the [Free Starter Guide](https://kokorology.com/free-guide), then the [7-Day Reset (€39)](https://kokorology.com/reset).
- On a GLP-1 medication: start with the [GLP-1 Protocol (€40)](https://kokorology.com/anchors/glp1).
- A coach or therapist: see the [Certification](https://kokorology.com/certification) pathway.
