Question Period: WTF are adaptogens?

Question Period: WTF are adaptogens?

Jessica Dixon, a Registered Holistic Nutritionist, joins me to share what the hell adaptogens are and how we can use them to support our hormonal health. Plus Jessica shares a recipe for energy bites for happy hormones.

What we discussed:
  • What is an adaptogen and how do they work?
  • The difference between adaptogens and adaptogenic herbs
  • How adaptogens promote hormonal health by supporting the HPA-axis
  • Why adaptogens are supportive and not a silver bullet for health and wellness
  • Adaptogens for happy hormones: maca, ashwagandha, reishi, holy basil/tulsi, shatavari, he shou wu + shizandra berry
  • How did get adaptogens into your daily rotation in smoothies, elixirs, bites and more
  • Where to buy good quality adaptogens and how to store them
