So I’ve been making a little tea at night that really calms me down, and it tastes pretty good.
I really like a lot of products from Four Sigmatic, and I just grabbed this Organic ashwagandha from Whole Foods. So this tea or ‘elixir’ from Four Sigmatic is made from Reishi. Reishi is a delicious little fungus that packs a punch when it comes to your health. Reishi mushrooms have adaptogenic substances that help us deal with the negative effects of stress, depleted energy levels, increased inflammation, damaged blood vessels and various types of hormonal imbalances. Studies show that reishi mushrooms have antioxidant capabilities that strengthen our body’s defenses against cancer, autoimmune diseases, heart disease, allergies, infections and more. Pretty crazy little ‘shroom…for non-college adults.
Ashwagandha is also an adaptogen that is used primarily for its ability to prevent anxiety. Ashwagandha’s anti-anxiety effect is actually synergistic with alcohol (which I haven’t exactly experimented with yet). Ashwagandha shows strong performance in relieving insomnia and stress-induced depression. Ashwagandha can significantly reduce cortisol concentrations and the immunosuppressive effect of stress.
My job has a fair amount of stress to it much like I believe everyone’s does. If you guys find yourself having a hard time winding down, and you don’t want to consume any alcohol before bed because it disrupts your sleep (much like I have found), try out this little concoction. I have tons of energy when I’m full blown ketogenic, and I’m trying not to move too much during this fast. This is the perfect way for me to shut it down for the night without consuming any calories. Full disclosure: This tea mix has 5 calories per serving. Not going to worry about it. Do you consider that cheating?
Let me know if you guys like this. Keep reading and following. I hope I’m helping some of you guys out, or at least being some what entertaining. I can definitely ratchet this thing up on the “R” rated scale if you guys would find that it makes this better to read! Leave me a comment.

So I like taking supplements. There’s no way that I can actually get everything that my body needs (micronutrient wise) with my typical diet. I love vegetables. Red, green, purple, orange, yellow, white…all of them. I eat grass-fed everything. Some of you might think that multivitamins are worthless, but if you want to geek out, here is a PubMed break down that reveals that the average American would have to eat 27,000 calories to get sufficient intake of the 27 FDA recommended micronutrients. That’s crazy! I can’t eat that much. I also don’t want to worry about fillers and additives. I don’t want some weird concoction for a capsule that won’t dissolve properly or at the right time. I want something that will give me the amount of all the good stuff that my body needs, and I want it to go into my body instead of the urinal! There are certain vitamins that won’t allow others to be absorbed. There are some that help others be absorbed better! I trust my boy Ben Greenfield when it comes to almost everything. Ben Greenfield went out on his own trek to find the best multivitamin on the planet. It’s a long read, but if you are going to spend you money on something, you should get the most out of it! I love this stuff. I even like the fact that there are morning and night pills. I like a schedule and a routine. These become part of my routine when I know that I’m not getting enough of what my body is craving!
I utilize a lot of Thorne’s products. I’ll be highlighting them as well over the next few days, but this is a cornerstone to anyone who is wanting to look, feel, and perform better. Check out Thorne Research right here.
I’m close to 36 hours fasted. It’s not hard for me to go this far, but I’ll keep you updated when it does get hard. I had some coffee and my mineral water so far. I’m going to get another bottle of water and some MUSHROOM Tea in me (more to come on that too!) I’m keeping my movement down slightly over the next little while. I don’t want to wreck my metabolism, and by that I mean I don’t want my body to adapt to a bunch of activity on no calories. This will help me to continue to burn fat when I do start to slowly add in some food!
Thanks for reading. Get Strong. Stay Strong.
