Superfood Adaptogens: The Natural Secret to Beating Stress & Boosting Energy

The Darin Olien Show

Play Episode Listen Later Mar 6, 2025 26:07

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. (00:04:19) Are Adaptogens Actually Stress Relievers? – What the research says about their effects. (00:06:21) How Stress Affects the Body – The connection between modern lifestyle and chronic stress.

And probably my favorite prebiotic hepatic (liver support) herb. It even works on both phase 1 + phase 2 detox, meaning it can help process and clear excess hormones and wastes from the body especially well.Then I give a glimpse into the gentle but powerful restorative tonic adaptogen, Schisandra -- also known as the 5 flavored berry. Another herb that ends up in many of my hormonal support formulas, from PMDD to menstrual irregularities to perimenopause.And finally I explore a little on ashwagandha, an increasingly popular herbal medicine often touted for stress resilience and sleep. But an equally powerful herb for hormonal regulation and especially low thyroid conditions (including postpartum). Some key herbs for menstrual, hormonal and sexual health.

Today we're continuing our “herbs on our shelf” from A to Z series! This week, our herbs are schisandra and skullcap.Schisandra (Schisandra chinensis) is SOUR. That flavor stands out most strongly when you taste the herb. But it's also bitter, pungent, acrid, and a little bit sweet – that's why it's sometimes called five-flavor berry. Schisandra's a great herb for modern people, not least because it helps a lot with anger and with sugar. It does have some drug interactions to be aware of, though!Skullcap (Scutellaria lateriflora) is one of the ‘bitter mints'. It's not powerfully bitter, like motherwort, but more like betony, ground ivy, or self-heal. This group includes mostly relaxants, lymphatics, alteratives, & anti-inflammatories, and skullcap is primarily a relaxant. Its specific affinities are tension in the neck & shoulders, or else tension that's intermittent. It makes a great base compound with betony and passionflower, whether that's for a nervine tea blend or a before-bed tincture.Schisandra & skullcap are featured herbs in our Neurological & Emotional Health course. This is a user's guide to your nerves & your emotions – including the difficult and dark ones. We discuss holistic herbalism strategies for addressing both neurological & psychological health issues. It includes a lengthy discussion of herbal pain management strategies, too!Like all our offerings, these are self-paced online video courses, which come with free access to twice-weekly live Q&A sessions, lifetime access to current & future course material, twice-weekly live Q&A sessions with us, open discussion threads integrated in each lesson, an active student community, study guides, quizzes & capstone assignments, and more!If you enjoyed the episode, it helps us a lot if you subscribe, rate, & review our podcast wherever you listen.

Adaptogens and tonic herbs in general are my favorite category of medicinal herbs, and I use them a lot for myself and clients in my health practice. They are safe and non-toxic and help us deal with stress, improve the immune system, regulate hormones, and improve our thinking, mood, anxiety, and fatigue. Absolute all-rounders to help us deal with modern life's challenges! Let's learn about the difference between central nervous system stimulants like coffee, and adaptogens. In a nutshell, coffee depletes your energy and adaptogens actually build up your energy reserves, in the long term. Some of the more known adaptogens are Eleuthero, Ginseng, Schisandra, Reishi, and Rhodiola, but there are a lot more that are less known but equally effective.

"This is probably the first time we've talked about the San Jiao meridian- the invisible Yang Organ System. The San Jiao is responsible for the transportation of fluids through the body. It's responsible for the functional relationship between various Organs involved with fluid metabolism and metabolism in general. It's between the Lungs, Spleen, Kidneys, Small Intestine, and Bladder, and it's paired with the pericardium. It helps the body transport lymphatic fluid and prevents toxic build up". - Mason Taylor Today on the podcast, we're taking a moment to observe and acknowledge the ancient healing tradition of Gua Sha. A healing technique that spans ages and cultures, bridging the gap between the practitioner's office and the home through direct engagement with the physicality of our bodies. Mason runs through the specific techniques and details of using the SuperFeast Bian stone Yin/Yang Gua Sha tools- how to engage, use them safely and feel connected to this ancient wisdom and ancient lore. Mason explains the function of eliminating internal heat and stagnation through the gentle scraping of the Gua Sha tool, supporting and assisting the movement of lymphatic fluids through the San Jiao meridian system. The Gua Sha tool offers profound benefits when incorporated into a daily facial-beauty routine, offering lasting radiance and buoyancy to the skin. But it is far more than just an elegant beauty tool for the face- it is a safe and gentle way of moving Qi around the body and preventing disease in our daily lives. "The San Jiao meridian is the regulatory capacity for the body to move between the lower dantian, the middle dantian, the upper dantian, and the three burners-the three centres. And when they're in sync, you're connecting the Three Treasures, the Jing, the Qi, and the Shen. Everything's being regulated, harmonised, and connected, and the waters are moving on". - Mason Taylor Mason discusses: -Facial Gua Sha for detox. -Why Bian Stone for Gua Sha? -Chi Nei Tsang organ massage. -Immune function and Gua Sha. -How long do we use Gua sha for? -Gua Sha and the lymphatic sytem. -Gua Sha and the meridian systems. -San Jiao- the invisible Yang organ system. -How to use SuperFeasts Yin Yang Gua Sha tools. -The distinction between facial Gua Sha and body Gua Sha. -Gua Sha and the distribution of Qi through the Gallbladder. -Why the San Jiao meridian system is essential for detoxification. -Stagnation-an indication of disease and disharmony within organ systems.

Today on the podcast, we're talking about Beauty-in particular, beauty as it is understood and pursued through the Taoist lens. The Taoist embodiment of beauty could simply be summed up through the understanding that internal harmony is the key to external radiant beauty, and the preservation of youth. As within, so without. Our radiance- the quality of our skin, hair, eyes, nails, and how we hold ourselves physically, is an insightful indicator of our internal organ health. But what are the elements of this internal harmony that deliver sparkly eyes, healthy skin, glowing Shen, animated Qi, and well cultivated Jing? In conversation with Sophia, Mason discusses the ancient practices, tonic herbs, and Taoist wisdom available to us in our pursuit of beauty through the many seasons of life. Rather than forming an unhealthy, unrealistic, obsessive relationship with beauty- this ancient ark of knowledge passed down from the Taoist immortals will keep us in an embodied, balanced, holistic pursuit of beauty- one that supports the cultivation of us evolving into graceful, wise, Shen-filled elders. Mason also goes through the beauty-focused, single tonic herbs and tonic blends within the SuperFeast range- explaining why we love to use them and how they deliver external radiant beauty; from within. This conversation is a beautiful Yin/Yang dialogue between Sophia and Mason, with many pearls of beauty-wisdom, both practical and esoteric. Make sure you scroll down to see the many topics discussed in this episode. "As we go along, we need this barometer to ensure the body is being preserved enough. Do we have enough juice, enough sexual juices- enough Yin essence to ensure we can go through these graduation cycles and evolve into truly beautiful elders"? - Mason Taylor Mason and Sophia discuss: - Ageless beauty. - Blood and beauty - Spleen and beauty. - Fertility and beauty. - Shen is radiant beauty. - Preservation of Yin Jing. - Schisandra for hair health. - Beauty and Shen development. - Herbs that regulate the Liver system. - The preservation of health as beauty. - Signs that your youth/health is deteriorating. - Lung function, Qi cultivation and beautiful skin. - Chi Nei Tsang for healthy organs and radiant beauty. - SuperFeast herbs that support the embodiment of beauty. - Why the Liver health is a critical key to embodying beauty.

Our liver does a lot of heavy work for us every day, let's make sure it stays healthy! Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is on the rise, but luckily, in its early stages, it is reversible. Understanding the mechanism makes it obvious that weight control and insulin resistance play a big role. We will discuss some herbs that help us to keep our blood glucose levels stable, like bitter melon and fenugreek. You will also learn how nervines and adaptogens can have a beneficial effect. But of course, we will also look deeply into liver herbs, also called hepatics, or hepatoprotectives which are the main pillar to improving the health of our liver. Some of my favorites are milk thistle seeds, burdock and dandelion root, tap root vegetables like beets and carrots, Turmeric, Schisandra berry and Celandine! This week I will post a video for my Ko-Fi supporters of my tour through a Chinese Supermarket, looking for medicinal herbs and explaining what I found!

#162 Superior Di Dao Sourcing From China with Mason Taylor

Play Episode Listen Later May 24, 2022 62:43

One of the most common questions we get from customers new to SuperFeast is, Why do we source our Mushrooms from China? The answer is simple and rooted in integrity and hundreds of years of ancient Daoist philosophy; Di Dao. Di Dao is the concept of growing herbs in their spiritual and native homeland; The preferred environment, atmospheric energy, pressure, and altitude required to grow and thrive. When tonic herbs and mushrooms are grown Di Dao, they deliver their intended spiritual intention and potency to the body. Contrastingly when herbs or mushrooms are not grown Di Dao and are instead grown on grain, oats, or even wood- away from their natural environment, they inevitably lack quality and their innate energetic potency. In today's episode, we're answering ALL your questions plus more as Mason travels through China, visiting the pristine mountains and valleys where SuperFeast grows and forages its Di Dao tonic herbs and medicinal mushrooms. You can hear the reverence and awareness in Mason's voice as he discusses the lineage of Daoism and the wisdom that has been handed down from the ancient shamanic Daoists to ensure the knowledge, healing, and essence of these revered herbs, is not lost. You will learn about the philosophies of tonic herbalism and shamanic Daoism, wild foraging, the conscious farming operations of SuperFeast medicinal mushrooms and tonics, and why we are so proud to grow our herbs Di Dao. Tune in for all of this and more. Mason discusses: -Meteria medica. -Di Dao philosophy. -How herbs are classified. -What are Inferior herbs? -What are superior herbs? -What is wild and semi-wild crafting? -How SuperFeast herbs are sourced. -The preventative approach to health. -How to grow the best schisandra and Chaga. -How Traditional Chinese Medicine lost its way. -Shamanic Daoist style of herbalism and its origins. -Why mushrooms grown on grain or oats are inferior. -How to make a herb more adaptogenic through conscious farming. Mason Taylor Mason Taylor is the CEO/Founder of SuperFeast and a renowned tonic herbalist. On a soul mission to bring people back to their body and nature while bursting through dogma, he shares passionately and uniquely in his workshops, podcast, and content on how to cultivate healing and potentiation through health sovereignty.

Are you looking to ignite the dulled flame of your sexual essence? Are you feeling depleted and lacking lustre for the day, let alone for having a robust lib*do? Perhaps you're looking to support your sexual vigour so you can continue to thrive, love life, and enjoy sex well into your later years. We're all sexual beings, and having the energy, spirit, and capacity to express ourselves in such a way is the spark that keeps us inspired and in love with life. Earlier this year, Mason did a live webinar on the topic of Lib*do and how Daoist tonic herbalism serves as a beautiful gateway into the cultivation of lifelong practices that will continue to expand sexual capacity, sexual vigour, and keep our essence burning strong well into our 60's, 70's and 80's. The webinar was so well received; that we've decided to make it an episode on the podcast. This episode is a holistic, integrated guide to establishing your intention and awareness of where you want your sexual vigour and capacity to be in 10, 20, and 30 years. Mason explains the relationship between Jing (Yin and Yang Jing), foundational energy, the kidneys, and how they are all inextricably woven into our potential for sexual desire and vigour. He also lays down an integrated guide to the Daoist tonic herbs, discussing how specific blends work within the organs to cultivate sexual essence, lasting potential and can work as a support system right through to our elderly years. Ultimately this is a holistic discussion around how we can use the teachings of Daoism to embody the most sexually robust, unique, love-filled expressions of ourselves! There is also a compact resource guide below with links to everything mentioned (and more) in the webinar, be sure to check it out. "So put into place something to ensure you are taking your herbs regularly. Put your boundaries in place to ensure that you have enough time to cultivate your essence and have enough time to really go into that loving place where you know you have the space to take all those experiences that your potential and your sexual essence and lib*do have given you. And you have enough time to sit with it within your heart and let it sink in and make, gain wisdom". - Mason Taylor Mason discusses: -Yang Jing herbs -The quality of lib*do. -Foundational energy. -Protecting our essence. -Spontaneous joy and sex. -The Daoist tonic herbs and lib*do -The cultivation of Jing, Qi and Shen. -Yin Jing- cultivating the waters of life. -Good sleep practices for sexual vigour. -How adaptogens help to restore lib*do. -Jing foundational essence and lib*do.

#156 Autumn: The Metal Element, Lungs and Nature with Tahnee and Mason

It's time again for us to tune into the elements, our bodies, and the soothing subtle shifts occurring around us in nature; here in the Southern Hemisphere, we have entered into Autumn. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Autumn is the season of the Metal Element. As we come down from the energised Yang energy of warmer months into the Yin, we naturally find ourselves slowing down and going within. It is a time for introspection, reflection, and letting go of anything mentally, emotionally, or physically that no longer serves us. The Lungs and Large Intestine are the organs associated with the Metal Element. The Lungs, also known as the Seat Of Wisdom, play a vital role in the natural process of fortifying surface immunity (protective Wei Qi), strengthening Qi and our overall immune system. The Lungs also purify; The fresh Autumn air is inhaled and processed into True Human Qi, which is then carried throughout the body and distilled down to the Kidneys. This beautiful flow of transformation and distillation is why it's a good practice to take nourishing Yin herbs that keep the Lungs moisturised and protect the chest area from the cool, drying Autumn air. The Large intestines release toxins and waste from the body that is no longer required. Mason Taylor: So if your Qi is transforming with flow through each of the organ systems through yang and yin, yin and yang, and different degrees and expressions, and let's say, you have a terrain which can protect itself. But that doesn't mean you'd be disrespectful to the system and be aware that it's not as much as it is infinite. It also is finite in what it can do because it's yin and yang. And therefore, you still put a scarf on when the wind is coming in cold to stop that the wind invading in through your throat. You still make sure that your kidneys are nice and warm, so the cold doesn't invade them all through your feet. So, it's yes to both. So, I'll just put it... because I had someone who wanted me to talk about it. Now, that's my piece Tahnee and Mason discuss the herbs, practices, and emotions of this season, why breathwork practices are essential in this season and the importance of reflecting on the movements of nature with early bed, early rising, and lots of rest. Mason and Tahnee discuss: -Lung Foods. -Qi and Lung herbs. -Surface immunity and Wei Qi. -Convalescing foods for Autumn. -The energy of Lung Metal season. -The emotions of Lung Metal season. -Exercises for Autumn and Lung energy. -Contraction and introspection in Autumn. -The relationship between the Lungs skin. -The Lung and Large Intestine relationship. -How to strengthen Qi and build immunity. -Breathing practices for Lung Metal season. -Connecting with the seasons through nature. -Honouring the transition of seasons for good immunity.
