Adaptogen Deep-Dive


Listen Later

In this second half, we take a deeper dive into the top ten adaptogens—Ashwagandha, Holy Basil, Rhodiola, Maca, Schisandra, Reishi, Cordyceps, Turkey Tail, Astragalus, and Lion’s Mane—while recognizing that there are many more powerful adaptogens beyond this list. These botanicals can be taken in a variety of forms such as capsules, raw or powdered supplements, tinctures, teas, concentrates, liquid extracts, and quick liquid shots. Each form offers different benefits: some work faster, some work deeper at the cellular level, and some are simply more practical for daily use. Adaptogens assist the body in regulating stress, balancing hormones, strengthening immunity, supporting gut health, improving sleep, aiding detoxification, and especially enhancing lymphatic system function—a critical process that influences nearly everything happening inside the body as it works to maintain homeostasis.
