Energy Rx
Summer invites more movement, longer days, and an increased demand on your body’s energy systems. While the season can feel expansive and electric, it also requires more internal fuel to keep up.
This protocol is designed for sustained energy and a resilient nervous system all summer long.
Morning: Sunshine + Cordyceps
Start your day with natural light and gentle movement. A morning walk in the sun helps regulate your circadian rhythm and balance cortisol - your body’s natural wake-up hormone.
Support this rhythm with Cordyceps, an energizing adaptogenic mushroom that supports ATP production, improves oxygen utilization, and enhances stamina.
Mid-Morning: Adrenal Mocktail + Chaga
As the temperature rises, this is the perfect time to front -oad your minerals before the sweat starts pouring. Try an adrenal mocktail: a mineral-rich, non-caffeinated drink that supports adrenal function and energy levels.
Combine coconut water, sea salt, and a splash of citrus to restore electrolytes, hydrate and ease nervous system fatigue.
Optional boost: add 4ml of Chaga to nourish your cells with extra antioxidants and essential minerals.
Midday: Cooling Meal
Keep it fresh, keep it light. A light, nutrient-rich, easy-to-digest meal will help to conserve energy and prevent that sluggish, post-lunch crash. Think, leafy greens, quinoa, fermented foods, hydrating veggies and juicy fruit.
Afternoon: Screen Break + Lion’s Mane
Instead of pushing through the afternoon slump, take a break from your screens and reconnect with your breath. Even 10 minutes of rest or meditation can reduce decision fatigue and reset your focus.
To support clarity and focus, pair with Lion’s Mane - a nootropic mushroom that enhances cognitive function, supports neurogenesis and helps you stay sharp.
Evening: Unplug + Reishi
As the sun sets, give your nervous system a signal that it’s safe to slow down. Step away from screens, dim the lights, and swap stimulation for something soothing: a walk at golden hour, a cool shower, or stretching on the balcony as the temperature drops.
Incorporate Reishi into your wind-down ritual to support a calm transition into rest. It helps lower cortisol, soothe the nervous system, and promote deep, restorative sleep.
Listen to Your Body
Summer moves fast, but your energy isn’t infinite. Listen to your body, honour your limits, and know that rest is part of the rhythm and fungi are here to help you move through it all with ease.
Support your system this summer.
