About this episode
Life today feels like a marathon we didn't sign up for—stress, fatigue, and constant demands pulling us in every direction. Even when we eat clean, sleep well, and exercise, something still feels... off. What if the answer isn't just more effort, but smarter tools? In this episode of Super Life, I dive into the ancient power of adaptogens—nature's secret weapon for building resilience. For thousands of years, cultures around the world have relied on herbs and fungi like ashwagandha, reishi, and rhodiola to adapt to stress, balance hormones, and restore energy. These aren't quick fixes—they're allies, working with your body to create real, lasting vitality. Let's break it down: how adaptogens regulate cortisol, boost immunity, and even harmonize your brain chemistry. I'll share their fascinating folklore, the science that backs them, and practical tips to seamlessly bring them into your daily life. This isn't about surviving—it's about thriving in the modern world.
