Ashwaghanda sleep study by Deshpande et al. 2020.
**
144 tested subjects (double blind) 6 week testing demonstrated significant improvements in sleep onset, total sleep time & decreased wakefulness in the ashwaghanda group.
**
Also subjective questionnaire showed improvements in quality of life in treatment group.
**
I personally use ashwaghanda 1-3x per week and find it to significantly improve my sleep. I feel great in the the next day 😌. I recommend 1500 mg 30 mins before bed, make sure you get root sourced.
**
Many other studies demonstrate that Ashwaghanda has neuroprotective effects and potentially improves cognitive function and learning.
**
Sleep is underrated for your health & performance at so many levels.

Apples shmapples!
***
Food is much more than just calories, macros and micros. Plant foods are like an ocean filled with compounds we don't even know exist!
***
As the science of nutrition slowly evolves, our understanding of the intricate connection to food and human health expands.
***
Each unique food grown from our dear mother earth contains a plethora of unique chemical compounds. Some support our daily metabolism and energy production, while others are showing the potential cure or mitigate the risk of certain diseases.
***
One area of research surrounding apples has discovered that they contain some compounds that can prevent, slow or even kill certain cancerous lesions.
***
One such compounds is called phloretin. It has been shown to starve cancels specifically by blocking their glucose fuel uptake.
***
There are a few other compounds also identified target different cancerous legions as well. I've added figures from the scientific review, I'll also post the link to the study:

Nutrition is cool!

I always like to start my day off with a high protein breakfast.

Sufficient morning protein will stop muscle loss from the overnight fast and curb hunger.

A shake is an easy solution to a busy morning.

My favorite shake is the chocolate banana:

1 cup milk / coconut milk
+
1 scoop protein (I prefer slow digesting blended protein jn the mornings)
+
1 tbsp. H**p hearts (Fiber and Omega 3)
+
1 tbsp. Org. Cocoa powder for a ruch taste (loaded with magnesium, zinc and quercetin)
+
1/2 frozen banana (Potassiun/fiber)
+
Maca root (energy + s*x drive ;) -->makes you feel great, I personally believe it increase your CHI energy)

I honestly crush the shake variation at least 7x10 per week.
Its easy, nutritious, delicious, and low in kcal (~400 kcal)

Enjoy!!
