Ashwagandha: The Most Commonly Taken Adaptogenic Herb

Adaptogenic herbs support your body’s stress resilience and improve hormonal balance.

Benefits: reduces elevated cortisol, supports stress resilience, and regulates female hormones such as LH, FSH, estrogen, and progesterone.

Recommended dosage: ~500mg Ashwagandha (KSM-66) daily – make sure to cycle Ashwagandha on/off. Caution with long-term use: avoid long term use (<3 months) due to it’s ability to disrupt gut microbiome balance and blunting of the natural cortisol response for long periods of time.

How to consume this herb: you can take this herb in many different forms: tea, supplement, tincture, etc.

Ginger: A Beneficial Herb For A Healthy Gut Microbiome

Ginger, when taken consistently, positively impacts the gut microbiome due to the main compound, Gingerol, which leads to better digestion, better focus, reduces brain fog, a balanced mood, greater stress resilience, and ultimately a healthy weight. Seeping ginger in tea releases Gingerol – a compound responsible for ginger’s antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-microbial properties. That strong ginger taste? Gingerol is behind that.

Benefits: improves gut digestion and gut motility (movement in the gut), reduces bloating and nausea, and lowers inflammation.
