Click here to send me a quick message :) We're all navigating so much right now. Collectively, relationally, personally.This week's episode explores three different frames for understanding and tending your nervous system when it's stretched, strained, burnt out or plain dysregulated.In addition to the collective unrest so many of us are feeling, this week I learned about the loss of John Gallagher (founder of Learning Herbs).What has struck me most about the loss (aside from honoring his immense legacy in modern herbalism) was that he was struggling. With insomnia, anxiety, and depression.And that the current political climate, including the potential for immense ecological loss, was part of what may have tipped his mental health struggles over the edge. It's just so big, all of it. And so many of us are feeling it.And whatever we're struggling with - collectively, relationally, personally - we're all navigating something right now. I want to acknowledge that, rather than gloss over it, and offer some resources and tools that may perhaps be useful for you in these tumultuous times. We all have to find our way, and we don't have to do it alone. Which reminds me of Alexandra Blakely's song:"you do not carry this all aloneno you do not carry this all alonethis is way too big for youto carry this on your ownso, you do not carry this all alone"It's not a song, or an herb, or a practice that will heal us. It's a collective practice that is ongoing.But if you're interested in some powerful ways to tend your nervous system in these times, listen to the wisdom from Efan Hsieh, Kristen Timchak and myself in this week's medley episode for some inspiration.** dedicating this episode to the memory of John Gallagher **Resources:Grab the free guide: Track your cycle with FAM (and symptom tracking)Today's shownotes: 3 paths to nervous system tending in tumultuous timesEpisode 41: How nature connection can calm burnout w Efan HsiehEpisode 50: Adaptogens + hormonal healthEpisode 97: Nourish your nervous system with Ayurveda w Kristen TimchakIf you loved this episode, share it with a friend, or take a screenshot and share on social media and tag me @herbalwombwisdomAnd if you love this podcast, leave a rating & write a review!

Plants labeled as adaptogens take the word literally. These herbs lend us a way to adapt, a way to adjust to what life throws at us. You can't go wrong taking adaptogens, but you can go wrong in how you take them. There are two paths to careful selection. Work with an herbalist who can guide you to adaptogens that fit you best or arm yourself with deep study. I hope this episode will help with the deep study path. I am beginning a series on adaptogens. In this first episode, I  focus on the basic foundational principle that adaptogen is considered an herbal action. We talk about the body's stress response and the role adaptogens play in stress relief. We also talk about how social media may be a way of community herbalism.  Resources to find Herbalists: The American Herbalist Guild Herbmentor HerbRally Book Mentions: Adaptogens: Herbs for Strength, Stamina, and Stress Relief by David Winston, RH(AHG) The Alchemy of Herbs : Transform Everyday Ingredients into Foods and Remedies that Heal by Rosalee de la Foret   Link to Ashwagandha Chai Episode Sending you warm summer thoughts and thank you for joining me! ---Deepest gratitude to Andrea Klunder, my podcast boss.  Find her at thecreativeimposter.com.  Original music by Dylan Rice Please send me your comments, requests, or feedback.  Send me a message, voice or write an email, my email is dina@theherbalbakeshoppe.com.

In the last episode, we talked about CBD as a methylation adaptogen, but we haven' talked too much about that term so let's dive in. We know that everyday methylation is important for people with the MTHFR gene or with any methylation dysfunction, but it turns out that long-term methylation care is important too and this can be achieved by getting methylation adaptogens.Methylation adaptogens are substances that help to regulate the amount your genes are methylated. Remember that when genes are methyalted, they are turned off and when they are unmethylated they are turned on. So having stretches of your genome that are undermethylated means the genes in there are allowed to function out of control, and that could lead to bigger problems like cancer.Methylating your genes appropriately is one of the long-term ways to prevent disease and even benefit your children, because research has shown that the way you methylate your genes might pass to your children. Not just the genes themselves, but the methylation tags.The most researched compounds that have been called methylation adaptogens come from food sources - things like caffeic acid from coffee and cruciferous veggies, lycopene from tomatoes and watermelon, resveratrol from red wine.

Click here to send me a quick message :) The most common questions I get as an herbalist are "what herb is good for [insert imbalance or condition here]?"  Like, "what's good for reflux", or "what's good for constipation" or "what's good for menstrual cramps?"While absolutely there are herbs that can help symptomatically alleviate challenges, we don't orient enough to supporting and nourishing whole systems or tissues of the body *so that* they function more optimally.What if we could reduce or prevent symptoms rather than wait until they're showing up to address them?Cue "tonic herbs."  While some of these herbs can be worked with strategically to reduce symptoms, many of them are more gentle, nourishing herbs that build resilience of tissues or a system (eg uterine tonics, cardiovascular tonics, nervine tonics) over the course of time. Gradually, at a deeper, but often more subtle level. Which of course can require some patience, but is a traditional way of working with plants medicinally. These plants are often incorporated into foods, teas, or long term formulas.Whether overall restorative tonics for longevity or resilience, or tonic herbs for specific body systems, they are key herbs to know.Listen to learn:what a tonic herb is (2 definitions) and what it is notthe difference between acute symptom relief and tonic actionswhen and why to consider working with restorative tonic herbsthe differences and overlaps between categories of tonic herbsa few examples of restorative tonic herbs, cardiovascular tonics, nervine tonics and uterine tonicsResources:Sign up for the Uterine Tonics class - 3/12 at 7pm eastern - register hereToday's shownotes: Tonic herbs for replenishment + resilienceEpisode 44: Bitters and hormonal balanceEpisode 50: Adaptogens and hormonal healthEpisode 68: Milky oats herbal spotlightIf you loved this episode, share it with a friend, or take a screenshot and share on social media and tag me @herbalwombwisdomAnd if you love this podcast, leave a rating & write a review!

If you're trying to decide whether you need adaptogens or a nap, well, the answer just might be both! But you can learn how to combine your adaptogens with other holistic interventions for better effects.In this episode we're talking about choosing the best adaptogens to work with when what you really need is rest – a super common situation we all find ourselves in from time to time. We talk about ways to get rest – even if you don't have time to nap! – as well as ways to rest that aren't about sleep at all.How to start? Well, we can choose the least stimulating adaptogens necessary, first. That might mean going with tulsi before red ginseng, or jiaogulan before rhodiola. It might mean combining reishi and lion's mane with burdock and dandelion root, to keep a grounding influence right there with our adaptogens. It might even mean formulating with digestives and nervines to subtly shift the influences of the adaptogenic herbs themselves.We can also be discerning about the type of activation we get – mental or physical at the fore. Tulsi & green tea is a very different combination than is eleuthero & coffee!Let's also consider creating a support blend to go along with my adaptogens. This might include demulcents (marshmallow, fennel), nutritives (nettle), digestives (calendula, plantain, ginger, chamomile), or nervine relaxants & sedatives (skullcap, passionflower, betony, vervain). As always, herbal formulation is a great way to direct & enhance the effects of our primary herbs.​Finally, here are three questions you should ask yourself whenever you're thinking about adaptogens:What's going on for me right now?Is there anything I could be doing differently?​What's the most important thing right now?​Interested in learning more about adaptogens, nervines, and related herbs for nerve & mood support?

Are adaptogens truly powerful, or are they just another wellness trend? In this episode of Super Life, Darin Olien dives deep into the science and history of adaptogens, breaking down what they really do for the body. From his decades of superfood hunting, Darin shares firsthand experiences discovering powerful botanicals like ashwagandha, Rhodiola, maca, and Schisandra, and how these ancient remedies are finally being recognized by modern science. He also uncovers the hidden truth about supplement quality, the best adaptogens for stress relief, and why some companies are misleading consumers with under-dosed, ineffective products. If you want to reduce stress, boost energy, and understand the REAL benefits of adaptogens, this episode is a must-listen. What Are Adaptogens? Definition: Adaptogens are compounds that enhance the body's resilience to stress and promote recovery by normalizing physiological processes, boosting energy and endurance, and protecting against cellular damage. Used in Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Indigenous Healing Practices for centuries. Modern science is now validating—or challenging—these ancient uses. Scientific Evidence on Adaptogens for Stress Relief Comprehensive Benefits of Adaptogens A 2023 review confirmed the effectiveness of adaptogens in managing conditions linked to chronic stress, including anxiety, depression, fatigue, and cognitive disorders. The study highlighted commonly used adaptogens such as Rhodiola Rosea, Panax Ginseng, Eleuthero, and Ashwagandha as having significant therapeutic potential (Altanova & Korolyova, 2023).   Human Trials Show Adaptogens Can Reduce Stress A randomized, placebo-controlled trial found that adaptogenic supplements significantly improved stress resilience in 215 elite athletes. Markers such as cortisol levels, fatigue severity, and cognitive function showed measurable improvements (Hovhannisyan et al., 2017).   The Mechanism Behind Adaptogens' Effect on Stress Adaptogens regulate stress response pathways, particularly the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, controlling cortisol levels and stress markers like nitric oxide. This means they help maintain homeostasis and protect against both acute and chronic stress (Pawar & Shivakumar, 2012).   Effectiveness in Mental and Behavioral Disorders A systematic review on adaptogens found that Rhodiola Rosea, Eleutherococcus Senticosus, and Schisandra Chinensis all had documented effects on stress-related disorders, particularly by modulating neuroendocrine function (Panossian, 2013).   Ashwagandha and Rhodiola Specifically Target Stress and Fatigue A 2017 study reviewed the effects of Ashwagandha, Rhodiola, and Bacopa on cortisol levels and fatigue. The study concluded that these herbs significantly reduced stress-related fatigue and improved cognitive function (Ajala, 2017).   Potential Industry Bias in Adaptogen Research Some studies point out that while adaptogens have shown promise in treating stress and aging-related diseases, there is still limited large-scale human clinical data, and more rigorous studies are needed. The variability in adaptogen potency due to genetic and environmental factors complicates assessments of their true effectiveness (Panossian et al., 2020). Additionally, some adaptogen formulations are standardized by supplement companies, which raises concerns about industry influence on the research outcomes. Most Shocking Findings Adaptogens Can Mimic Stress to Build Resilience: They act as mild stress mimetics, triggering the body's adaptive stress response in small doses, similar to how a vaccine stimulates the immune system (Panossian et al., 2020). Cortisol Regulation is Key: Studies show adaptogens normalize elevated cortisol levels, preventing burnout and cognitive decline (Ajala, 2017). Elite Athletes Showed Significant Gains: Athletes taking adaptogens had a measurable improvement in reaction time, stress tolerance, and performance, suggesting real physiological benefits (Hovhannisyan et al., 2017).     Key Adaptogenic Herbs & Their Scientific Evidence 1. Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) Study: “A Review on Adaptogenic Activity of Ashwagandha (Withania Somnifera): An Ayurvedic Appraisal” Dosage Used in Studies: 300-600 mg/day Key Findings: Ashwagandha significantly reduces cortisol levels, enhances stress resilience, and improves cognitive function (Shrilata et al., 2017). Direct Quote from Study: "Ashwagandha has been shown to significantly reduce stress-related cortisol levels and improve anxiety symptoms in clinical trials." 2. Rhodiola Rosea Study: “The Effects of Adaptogens on the Physical and Psychological Symptoms of Chronic Stress” Dosage Used in Studies: 200-600 mg/day Key Findings: Rhodiola improves mental clarity, reduces fatigue, and stabilizes stress-induced hormonal changes (Ajala, 2017). Direct Quote from Study: "Rhodiola Rosea has demonstrated significant anti-fatigue and anti-stress properties, improving cognitive function and resilience in individuals exposed to chronic stress." 3. Schisandra Chinensis Study: “Adaptogens in Mental and Behavioral Disorders” Dosage Used in Studies: 500-1500 mg/day Key Findings: Schisandra enhances adrenal function, improves focus, and has neuroprotective effects(Panossian, 2013). Direct Quote from Study: "Schisandra has adaptogenic effects that enhance cognitive performance, improve stress resilience, and protect the nervous system from oxidative stress." 4. Maca Root (Lepidium meyenii) Study: “Effects of Adaptogens on the Central Nervous System” Dosage Used in Studies: 1500-3000 mg/day Key Findings: Maca supports energy levels, hormonal balance, and mood stability (Panossian & Wikman, 2010). Direct Quote from Study: "Maca root exhibits adaptogenic activity, particularly in enhancing physical stamina and resilience against psychological stress."     Shocking Research Insights Adaptogens Mimic Stress to Build Resilience Some researchers describe adaptogens as “mild stress mimetics”, triggering small stress responses that strengthen the body's ability to handle major stressors (Panossian et al., 2020). Clinical Trials on Elite Athletes Prove Effectiveness A randomized controlled trial on 215 elite athletes found that adaptogens significantly improved stress tolerance, reduced cortisol, and enhanced reaction time (Hovhannisyan et al., 2017). Industry Bias: Are Adaptogens Overhyped? Some studies highlight a lack of large-scale, independent research and potential conflicts of interest in studies funded by supplement companies (Panossian et al., 2020). Final Thoughts: Science or Pseudoscience? Science-Backed Benefits Exist: Studies show adaptogens modulate stress response systems, reduce fatigue, and improve mental performance. More Human Trials Needed: Many studies rely on animal models or small-scale trials. The lack of large-scale, independent clinical trials leaves some uncertainty. Potential Industry Bias: While there is strong evidence for adaptogens, commercial interests may be influencing research directions and outcomes.     What You'll Learn in This Episode: (00:00:00) Introduction – The growing hype around adaptogens: real or marketing? (00:02:15) The Power of Plants & Adaptogenic Herbs – Why ancient cultures relied on them for thousands of years.

Hydration is KeyOne of the biggest mistakes travelers make is not drinking enough water. Air travel, hot climates, and constant movement can dehydrate you fast, leading to fatigue and brain fog. The fix? Always carry a reusable water bottle and sip consistently throughout the day. Bonus tip: Add an electrolyte packet to your water to replenish lost minerals and stay even more refreshed! Dr. Kinney recommends using high-quality electrolytes if you want to take your hydration and energy levels up a notch. Her top picks include LMNT to help replenish essential minerals like sodium, potassium, and magnesium—perfect for preventing dehydration and keeping your body balanced while traveling. Fun fact, electrolytes also keep you from having to constantly hit the restroom on the plane!Dr. Kinney's Go-To SupplementsDr. Kinney also suggests packing a few key supplements to keep your immune system strong and stress levels low. Some of her must-haves include:Magnesium – Helps with constipation, relaxation, sleep, and muscle recovery.B Vitamins – Supports energy levels and combats travel fatigue.Vitamin C – Boosts the immune system to keep you feeling great.Probiotics – Aids digestion and keeps your gut happy after eating new foods.Adaptogens (like Ashwagandha) – Helps regulate stress and keep your body in balance.Zinc – Supports the immune system by helping the body fight off infections, making it essential for avoiding travel-related colds and sickness.Breathe Your Stress AwayFeeling overwhelmed in a crowded airport or a busy city? Deep belly breathing can work wonders to reset your nervous system. A simple but powerful technique is the 4-Second Breathing Method:Inhale deeply through your nose for four seconds.Hold your breath for four seconds.Exhale slowly through your mouth for four seconds.Repeat as needed.This method helps calm your nervous system, reduce stress, and bring you back to the present moment—perfect for travel anxiety, flight delays, or any stressful situation on the road. You can even use this breathing practice before you eat to combat bloating and stomach discomfort.Smart Snacking for Endless EnergyWe've all been there—running through an airport, starving, only to grab a sugary snack that leads to a crash an hour later. Instead, plan ahead! Pack protein-rich snacks like nuts, jerky, or protein bars to keep your energy levels steady and avoid those dreaded sugar highs and lows. Your future self will thank you!Move Your Body, Even on the GoSitting for long periods, whether on a plane, train, or car ride, can leave you feeling stiff and sluggish. Combat travel fatigue by stretching regularly and sneaking in movement whenever possible. A quick walk around the airport, a few yoga poses in your hotel room, or even some simple neck and shoulder stretches can do wonders for keeping your body happy.Reset Your Sleep Cycle with SunlightJet lag can be a real struggle, but one of the best ways to adjust to a new time zone quickly is by soaking up natural sunlight. As soon as you arrive, try to spend some time outside—whether it's a morning walk, a coffee on a sunny patio, or simply sitting by a window. Sunlight helps regulate your circadian rhythm, making it easier to adjust and sleep better.Recovering After Your TripEven with the best travel wellness habits, returning home can leave you feeling a little drained. Here's how to bounce back quickly:Hydrate and replenish – Keep drinking water and use electrolytes to restore balance.Get extra rest – Allow yourself an extra hour of sleep for a few nights to recover.Move gently – Light stretching, yoga, or walking can help loosen up any stiffness.Eat nourishing foods – Focus on whole foods, lean proteins, and lots of greens to reset your body.Unwind and de-stress – Take a bath, meditate, or use deep breathing to transition back into your routine smoothly.Get a massage – A massage can help relax muscles and, the mind and circulate blood flow after an intense trip.Handling Hiccups in Your TripNo matter how well you plan, travel can throw unexpected challenges your way—missed flights, lost luggage, bad weather, or sudden illness. The key is to stay flexible and have a backup plan. Here's how to navigate travel hiccups with ease:Missed flight? Stay calm, speak to the airline immediately, and check if you can be rebooked on the next available flight.Lost luggage? File a claim as soon as possible and keep essential items like medications, chargers, and one outfit in your carry-on.Feeling unwell? Carry basic medications and supplements to help with digestion, headaches, or colds. Rest and hydrate until you feel better.Is bad weather ruining plans? Embrace the change—check out indoor attractions, try new restaurants, or enjoy some downtime to recharge.Tech troubles? Keep copies of important travel documents in your email or cloud storage so you can access them even if your phone or laptop dies.Think Positive – Always try to look on the bright side and opportunities that can come from changing travel plans. There is no point in getting flustered by things you cannot change.Balance, Not PerfectionTraveling is about experiencing new things, and that includes food, culture, and adventure! Don't stress about sticking to a rigid health routine—aim for balance instead. Walk as much as possible, opt for fresh, local foods, and prioritize rest when you need it. The goal is to feel good so you can fully enjoy your travels!Your Wellness Adventure Starts Now!With these simple, effective tips from Dr. Erin Kinney, you'll be ready to take on any adventure while feeling your best.
