On today's episode of the Real Foodology podcast, there's this brilliant synergy that happens when we combine adaptogens, which are supportive to our stress response.

They're working to find balance and equilibrium in our bodies with a stimulant like caffeine.

You know, when we pair those together, it's like you're taxing the system at the same time you're bringing it into balance.

And so you don't get a crash. You don't get jitters. It's like you're taxing the system at the same time you're bringing it into balance.

I am your host, Courtney Swan.

I am so happy that you're here today.

listening and you love this podcast, could you please rate and review the podcast? It helps me so

And that is ultimately what I'm hoping to do is to spread the knowledge of health and wellness to as many people as I can.

the last five years. And we talk about the coffee in this episode, but if they're, I found that

there's a lot of confusion around their coffee that often people think that it's just mushrooms,

but it does actually have coffee in there mixed with mushrooms.

And for me personally, someone who has stress and anxiety and I don't always have the best relationship with coffee because it really spikes my anxiety and stress.
