5 Tips to Maximize Your Energy & Boost Vitality

Video Transcript:

If you are looking to maximize your energy and boost your vitality, today I’m going to share with you a few tips and recommendations that I share with my patients who find that their energy has dipped, sometimes their mental focus has gone down, and they’ve just noticed that they don’t have that kind of zesty life energy. So, here are some recommendations.

1. Support Your Brain

Number one, I really, really love to support our brain with one of the most powerful nootropic herbals called bacopa. [1] Bacopa is something that we have in our brain-supportive supplement that I really, really love. So, our Brain Health 8 has eight assorted herbals that are good for brain health, but bacopa is the winner here in improving your mental energy and overall energy in your body. Bacopa is one of those powerhouse herbals that will help you feel more energized. It’s almost like a natural caffeine, but there’s no caffeine and you’re just going to feel the lift.

So, if you felt like a slump in the mid part of the day, or at 2:00 or 3:00 PM you’re feeling kind of a lull in your energy, bacopa can help support that by supporting your brain energy.

2. Support Your Adrenal Glands

The second kind of blend of powerhouses here for supporting energy and vitality is to reach for functional mushrooms. Our 7 Mushrooms is going to support your adrenals, it’s going to help balance sleep, and it is going to help lower and recalibrate your cortisol levels.

Your adrenal glands are the glands that are responding to everyday stressors, and the fight-or-flight mode you might be stuck in that’s a stress loop may be impacting not just only your sleep but your overall energy.

And, basically, when the adrenals are imbalanced and we’re producing more cortisol, basically, your transmission is revving. And so, functional mushrooms like cordyceps and lion’s mane and reishi and even chaga can really help improve your energy, help manage both physical and mental resilience, and can help boost up the power reserves of your body by addressing your adrenal health and helping manage cortisol.

Functional mushrooms, the whole cascade of 7 Mushrooms in our seven-mushroom blend, these are what we call adaptogenic mushrooms. They help your body adapt every day, every minute, every hour to stressors that are going to bombard your body. And so, if you find that you’re stressed out, you’re maxed and taxed, you’re just overwhelmed, and that stress is draining your energy and decreasing your vitality, 7 Mushrooms can be helpful.

3. Boost Core Nutrition

Now, the other recommendation is to boost up your core nutrition, meaning all your micronutrients, microminerals, and really give your body all the power in nutrition to support your body on a cellular level.

I love to recommend, one of the easiest ways to support your vitality, I recommend reaching for our newer blend of our OrganiGreens. This is a green powerhouse powder that mixes really easily in smoothies. I even use it in our baked goods, and I will sprinkle sometimes this into sauces and soups, so you can really be creative in how you use it.

But this, OrganiGreens is going to give you a baseline, a foundational layer of nutrition that maybe you might be missing. Some B vitamins, you might be missing some minerals. Our combination of fermented greens as well as some probiotics and other good plant-based nutrition, that’s going to fill in the gaps where maybe there are some missing pieces.

And honestly, it’s not uncommon if you’re taking supplements, particularly not so much supplements. But if you’re taking medicine, you might have scripts that you’re taking. They can deplete mineral reserves and even some of your B vitamin levels. Stress all on its own is going to be depleting to your micronutrients. So, I love our OrganiGreens powder.

4. Optimize Your Vitamin D3 Level

The other recommendation is to make sure that you are optimizing your vitamin D3. If you haven’t tested your vitamin D3, do get that tested. You want to be above 85 on the scale when you’re getting that testing. Usually 85 to about 110, we’ve seen some incremental changes in increasing what the “optimized” level is. So, definitely reach for optimization there.

5. Boost Energy With Vitamin B Complex

And then last and final, one of my favorite go-tos for just boosting your energy is to reach for a liquid B complex, a methylated B complex that you can kind of do a pump in your mouth and then that just really helps support your stress levels. [2]

B vitamins are often the most difficult for our body to maintain those levels because they’re water-soluble. And if you have any methylation challenges, if you’re not getting the right form of B vitamin, then you might not be able to actually integrate that. So, reach for a good methylated B complex.

And these are powerful tips to support your brain and overall energy inside your body for optimized vitality.
