The events of today’s world can be traumatic, and even the pace of everyday life can be cause for anxiety.
Who hasn’t experienced it?
All too often we put up with the stresses that cause anxiety while forgetting that we have the power to take actions that can create more peace within. While it can be easy to get caught up in an anxious state, it is important to recognize anxiety for what it is – a feeling that results from one’s biological responses to a perceived threat.
We received this comment just the other day.
Logan,
I am an older male interested in balancing my hormones and keeping my testosterone high. I am fairly new to using herbs so I have tried to read most of the articles you have sent and also studied your website.
I am still unsure how to cycle my herbs to maximize their effectiveness and minimize any diminishing returns. One suggestion is 7 herbs/ one for each day of the week. Another is on 5 days/ off 2 days. Finally another is 4wks on/ one week off. Then there is the 4 pack of tinctures. Twice a day for all but pine pollen and that is to be cycled.
In part 2 of our series all about ghee, we discuss the topic of megadosing ghee, as is referenced in a few case studies for amazing health turnarounds. How much ghee? Up to 1 cup per day!
Eating this much ghee each day?!?
In looking at the research, I came across this very interesting case study from 1932 that I present in full. If you’re not familiar with the term, neurasthenia was an old term that basically meant nervous system burnout, as occurs with too much stress.
At the time of the writing of this article we have three tinctures available at Lost Empire Herbs.
The good news is we have a few other tinctures (including tincture formulas) in various stages of production, and have plans to continue expanding the line here.
In this video and post I wanted to take a moment to talk about combining the different tinctures, as this is a question we often get asked about.
I am going to be honest with you.
During my undergraduate and graduate studies in the nutritional sciences at Cornell, we didn’t learn a whole lot about herbs, beyond their potential interaction with western medicines, that is. However, we did devote hundreds of hours to learning how to identify sound research, analyze and interpret its findings, and apply those findings in real-world scenarios.
Where am I going with this? Well, I was introduced to ashwagandha not too long after joining InsideTracker, a blood analytics company focused on helping you improve your health through evidence-based nutrition, supplement, exercise, and lifestyle recommendations. And, I was further intrigued when I started chatting with Logan Christopher, the CEO of Lost Empire Herbs, about how they source their ashwagandha from local growers. A pretty cool process ( Side note: check out Logan and Zane’s (of the Lost Empire Herbs team) experiences with InsideTracker).
Everybody gets lost at some point.
I am not referring to being lost in a place of course. Everyone does that of course. More, I mean, lost in time. We all fall into ruts, and these ruts can bring us to question just what the hell we are doing with this life.
Many of us will become despondent and depressed in those moments. Feeling as if with no direction, there is no point.
I, myself, have struggled with this for about 2/3’s of my existence on this planet (rough calculations says 20 of my just about 34 years).
For about a century we’ve been told we’re chemical beings. The rise of pharmacology went on to say that this is the only thing that matters.
But it’s not true, at least not the full truth.
We are just as much electrical beings.
“Electromagnetic frequencies” are a significant grouping of many different things. The light you see through your eyes is in this range. The warmth you feel from the sun, or any heat source is as well.
The thyroid is a butterfly shaped endocrine gland, below the larynx in your throat, that plays a major role in the metabolism of the human body. Its effects are felt by every single cell within your body.
Sadly, issues with the thyroid producing too many hormones, or too little, are rampant in industrialized peoples. These metabolic diseases are not easy fixes, as metabolism is a system-wide function. Thus, the cause and effects are spread throughout the system as well.
Flash back a couple of years… (see Breaking Down and then Taking Back Control for more details of the health story that changed my life and was the impetus for me to team up with Gav on 35to65.com).
My health is failing and falling fast… from insulin and digestive issues to torn and ruptured muscles and seemingly ever more fracture-able bones, things kept getting worse…
BUT SUDDENLY,
If you’ve been into herbs for any amount of time and think about stress your mind likely goes to…
Adaptogens.
After all the definition of this, is an herbal substance considered to help the body adapt to stress and to exert a normalizing effect upon bodily processes.
That’s all well and good.
In essence, the adaptogenic components of the plant stress your body out…in a way that the body becomes better able to handle it.
