Adaptogens 101: Nature's Answer to Burnout

When lifestyle changes aren't enough, adaptogens are the herbs and mushrooms that help your body 'adapt' to and resist stress.

The Big Three Adaptogens

Not all adaptogens do the same thing. Here is how to use them:

• Ashwagandha: Best for high anxiety and feeling 'wired but tired.' It directly lowers cortisol levels. Best taken in the late afternoon or evening.
• Rhodiola Rosea: Best for physical and mental burnout. It helps you endure stress without crashing. Excellent for busy professionals.
• Lion's Mane Mushroom: Best for brain fog caused by stress. It stimulates the growth of new brain cells and protects the nervous system.
