Hey guys! We have Dr. J and Evan talking about adaptogenic herbs and their personal approach to mood, sleep, and stress management. Adaptogens can help your body adapt to life’s doozies. These herbs aid our bodies in reacting to or recovering from both short- and long-term physical or mental stress. Some also boost immunity and overall well-being.

Lots of research shows adaptogens can combat fatigue, enhance mental performance, ease depression and anxiety, and help you thrive rather than just muddle through. Dr. J also emphasized that testing and prioritizing quality will give better therapeutic benefit than other random adaptogens available online. This will also help in identifying what's best for you and your well-being.

Whether you’re training for a marathon, enduring a marathon study session, or even just sprinting through a stressful midday meeting, adaptogens may be key. Also, as with any drug or supplement, adaptogens do have side effects, interactions, and contraindications. It’s also recommended you contact your healthcare provider before beginning a herbal regiment.

you want to tell any stories about your use with adaptogens have you experimented with different things for different issues with mood or sleep or stress yeah so in my line i have a product called ashwagandha supreme so ashwagandha is going to be one of my favorite ones i find it really helps with stress and sleep and really helps modulate a my stress response like i find out if i get an argument with someone if i just hit some ashwagandha within 20 or 30 minutes i'm adapting to the stress of that conversation or whatever is going on in my environment better now it's really important quality with adaptogens is very important because a lot of countries that that grow adaptogenic herbs they don't have the best let's say environment so there's a lot of mercury or lead in the soil because of what's going on with the pollution in that environment and of course the herbs then will take on that pollution because what goes in the soil comes up in the roots so it's very important you want to use herbs from people who test their herbs independently so evan and i myself for instance we test the ashwagandha that we encapsulate and i've found a couple times where there's been high levels of lead and we've had to send the raw material back and and use the different manufacturer that vets it so really important you don't want to just jump online and get the cheapest adaption actually you know you pay a little bit more to have higher quality and to have the the independent analysis done so that's important so ashwagandha and then of course just my my favorite blend of rhodiola ginseng ashwagandha luthor and a little bit of liquid that's my favorite blend that's a my adrenal revive i love that because there's enough immune modulating benefits sex hormone modulating benefits and i'll go back and forth between those two and then every now and then i'll just go and do individual ones i'll do some gotu kola i'll do some holy basil i'll do just some rishi and cordyceps and i'll just do some individual ones i think it's pretty cool people you should biohack and test some individual adaptogens per month and just see how you feel with it see how you do with it but for myself personally i have seen amazing benefits and how i can deal with and adapt to stress having seen thousands of patients in my career i see amazing benefits and again it depends i see a lot of hormonal imbalances a lot of women with pms so we'll use different herbs depending on what's happening there what we may use things like chaste tree or white peony or specific phenotypes of maca that are very helpful and that's just it's amazing the things that you can do especially when you're dealing with the woman's cycle that's off i mean it can really create a lot of you know havoc in her life and mood and such like that and then obviously it can create menstruation issues but then create anemic issues so you can have a whole bunch of things spiral out of control so big fan of what you can do with these adaptogens from a hormonal mood energy sleep stress modulating effects yeah and the good news is as a general rule they're pretty synergistic so the one that i have that's similar to your adrenals mine's called adapt and this is where we've got a little bit of b as in bravo vitamin added the cool thing is is you can have synergistic benefits so your average person walking down the street probably knows that b vitamins are good right they think b vitamins equals energy but when you combine adaptogenic herbs with the b vitamins then you really get the magic happening because you've got not only are you helping to fuel the mitochondria with some of the bees and the nutrients there vitamin c could be added but then now you've got the modulating effects with the adaptogens and then when you throw in amino acids then you really get amazing benefits so if you've got nutrients like your vitamins mixing it with your adaptogens and then you're throwing in for example like a little acetoel tyrosine we use that's when the magic happens and then you can really just take on life
