Springtime Supports - let the sap flow!

Spring into fresh energy by approaching your body and mind as a whole

TLDR - (sale below!)

With the turn of the seasons, it’s important to remember that you may want to adjust our support mechanisms. From diet to herbs to exercise, the spring offers us a chance to melt off the warm protections of winter, shed the yuck, and bring new life into our bodies. In this article, we will cover not only the herbal changes that can be helpful, but also the diet and auxiliary practices that support the success of those herbs.

DIET

The winter diet of cozy, heavier, sweeter foods that are key to keeping you comfy and warm makes way for the new growth and greens of spring. Lightening your diet and moving away from sweets and fruits helps your body clear out some of that stagnation you might be feeling.

Traditional Indian medicine, AKA Ayurveda, invites us to adjust our diets and habits in response to cyclical and seasonal changes. Ayurveda may seem complicated, but the system works symbolically and elementally to bring about physical, spiritual, and mental changes! In the winter, we are inward, regenerating, and staying safe from the cold. When spring comes, the "snow" (whether or not you have it in your area) melts, the greens sneak out of the ground, and the gardens bloom as the sun comes up - but there is no fruit yet - nothing sweet is growing - just bitter and fresh greens. The body needs its "internal sun" as well! We do this by increasing the HEAT of our medicines, and foods, and practices--

This might look like:

FOOD SHIFT - bringing in the spice to your food and avoiding grains, heavy roots, and meats in favor of greens, hot spices and lighter proteins like fish, tofu, and poultry and light soups and even edible flowers in your diet
MOVE SHIFT - change exercise from slow yin yoga to something with more heat and fire, like faster walking out in the sun or even hot yoga!
HERBAL SUPPORT SHIFT- Changing your warming, gingery mind formula from MycroCalm Grounded or Zen Master that was helping with your pent-up anxiety, to a formula designed to get your butt moving, like MycroActive, motivated, Clarity, or Day Slayer!!

This brings us to our feature line, MycroActive - ON sale this week buy 2 get 20% off - NO CODE NEEDED - ENDS 3/26/26

Think about adding some heat to the body through formulas such as our MycroActive line, which helps get that internal sap flowing in body and mind. Adding heat helps move the body and move things through your mind. This may feel counterintuitive as the weather warms, but stimulating circulation is key at this time of year. We want to eat things like cooked greens, bitters, and fresh, new things (lighter and easier to digest), and use warmer oils; mustard oil is highly recommended, though not commonly used, and avoid sweet, building foods like heavy carbs and fruits.

MycroActive's Key Ingredients and their properties:

True cinnamon - circulatory stimulant
Tulsi - brain fog buster, lung clearer, overall adaptogen for stress resilience
Korean ginseng - harmonizes the hormonal system; those in midlife are frequently drawn to it.

The MycroActive Line contains a very potent complex, and we try to be mindful of how much caffeine we consume along with it (half-caf if you don't want the rocket fuel effect!). It’s great for those mid-afternoon slumps (just in time for school pick-up and perimenopause, lol): add 1-1.5tsp of MycroActive Motivated to a cup of your favorite spiced tea or decaf coffee (we love Blue Lotus Chai or Good Earth Tea) along with the alt milk of your choice if you are feeling it. It’s creamy but not heavy, not too sweet, and will perk you up in a jiffy!

Motivated Elixir - Featuring MycroSynergy Base™ made from Cacao, dates, Lion's Mane extract, passionflower, and Brahmi, and turbocharged with MycroActive Complex™: Ginseng, Tulsi (Holy Basil), and True Cinnamon -

Clarity Capsules - Featuring Reishi and Lion's Mane extracts, time-release pullulan capsules, and our MycroActive Comple: Ginseng, Tulsi (Holy Basil), and True Cinnamon

Clarity Stacking Powder - which is all the ingredients of the clarity capsules, but LOOSE POWDER, intended for you to use your own magic mushrooms to make your own stacked microdoses at home (saves lots of $ if you are willing to do that part on your own!)

As always, it’s important to remember a single formula is not going to "solve all of your problems." The medicine will work better when it’s not fighting against all of your other choices: everything you do has an impact on your mental health state, and there is never going to be a single supplement/medicine that will grant all of your wishes if you don’t consider other inputs. NO MATTER WHAT THEIR FACEBOOK ADS SAY - Keep it real so your progress will be tangible. Physical activity, as well as dietary components, are as important as your wellness supports
