When it comes to having an ally for your physical and mental health ADAPTOGENS are key! These powerful super herbs and super mushrooms are vital components of my wellbeing regime. I can’t even start telling you the positive impact they have on your body and mind once you add them to your life.

To really dive deep, I’ve asked my good friend — and founder of Four Sigmatic — Tero Isokauppila to join me once again and give us a clear understanding of what adaptogens are, how to use them, and why they are so epic for your physical and mental health. So, if you want to boost your immune system, have healthy skin, increase your energy and improve your overall wellbeing you MUST listen to this episode.
