A while ago, I discovered the wonder that is Ashwagandha and since then have been expanding my collection of adaptogens and adaptogenic mushrooms. A few months ago I found Four Sigmatic through the Mind Pump podcast and became obsessed with the different mushroom elixirs they had. I have since been trying and experimenting with different mushrooms and adaptogens to see how they make me feel. I was super excited (like, literally fan-girling for days) that they agreed to partner with them to bring you this video all about what adaptogens are and what the specific benefits of different adaptogens and adaptogenic mushrooms are.

You are literally one of my favorite fitness based youtubers! I love how you back everything with science and you have definitely expanded my health and fitness knowledge!

[mentallyhealthyusually]

Oh my goodness, so I've only found your channel within the past couple of days, but where have you been through all my YouTube time? Your videos are so helpful and joyful to watch!! Thank you so much for your videos!!

[kjcase]

Just recently found your channel and am binge watching many of them. Just ordered four types of four sigmatic products and am excited to give them a try. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and diving into the science. I am not a science person, but am very thankful that others can effectively communicate the findings so that I can understand!

Marisa, I have been following you for a while and have had my fair share of "favorite" videos, but this one is the one that I keep going back to. I love to look at all of the sources and see the work you have put into creating your content. You are one of my favorite Youtubers because of your love for fitness, health, and knowledge!

[kaianaturals]

Great informative video! Learned a lot. I love how you put so much time and research into your videos!!

[LaLeashaFrank]

Would you be willing to do more videos on this? Maybe a handful of recipes and go even more in-depth on each thing. I'm super interested in this and feel like they can all help but financially I can't afford to get all of them and don't know where to start in consuming them either. Would love more information and ideas!

[brichapman]

I found you through the Sezzy Squad group and have binge watched all of your videos! I'm so obsessed! Thank you for including real studies as part of your research! It's much appreciated ❤

[tatianamoreno]

Hey hun. Loving all this info I bought a few herbs and mushrooms yesterday. I had my tonic this morning:):)

[bridgetwhatford]

Just recently found your channel, thanks for all the info!
One question, Would you say that ingesting mushrooms in powder or capsule form is more effective?

[BlushMarie]

Would you say Maca is the best choice for PMS?

[katiie]

I know you’re into boosting you brain power but im not saying go do this or anything but for me it was huge for clarity and nerves. Phosphatidycholine but in IV form. Life changer. Most naturopathic places have them if they offer vitamin iv’s, it’s amazing for you cell membranes but your brain lovesss it memory everything what heightened, it really helped 💜love your videos!

[brookedejong]

♥️♥️♥️ four sigmatic! I found them when I was looking for some great instant coffee to take backpacking with me. The instant coffee is so smooth and yummy and helps me not crash!

[chelbelle]

Is it possible to get these mushrooms in a raw form to use them for regular cooking ?

[MichaelBalboa]

Hey love your positive energy when you deep dive a subject - great work with the adaptogens, you have an amazing ability to quickly communicate a plethora of details is coherent sensible way, so keep up the great work!
- 4sig does great stuff - i am also hooked on the coffee cordyceps, the super shrooms blend and the green tea w/ lions mane, just getting into the hot cacao mix as I am not really a big hot cacao drinker but I am working towards lowering my caffeine it has much less than coffee..
I also cycle many of these adapotens, so my "off cycle replace on the ashwaganda" is often Mucuna Pruriens which I find also has amazing CNS /endo stabilizing and stress lowing (cortisol lowering) properties and it does a great job boosting the sleep cycle..just my experience, would love to hear your thoughts on adaptogen cycling and Mucuna Pruriens..
Cheers!

Please post your coffee smoothie recipe! It sounded so delicious😍 I love your videos ... You really inspire me!

P.s. I love chocolate too... I am a chocoholic and I'm not ashamed😂

[deborahanne]

I didn't know that Reishi was Ganoderma lucidum. GanoExcel is a company that has been making Ganoderma lucidum based products for a while. They have this hot chocolate that is amazing and their 3 in 1 coffee is good. I am going to order it again from my vendor. Thanks for the video!

[lauraoc]

Ah four sigmatic has tons of products! Which one would you recommend starting with? Maybe one or two...thanks lovely 💕

[katherinebeasley]

So I know this product just came out. But have you tried the lemonade with charcoal and chaga. If you have tried them.... what do you think about it! Thanks for the information, I've learned a lot about all the good 'shrooms! 😄

[beedlebard]

What’s the point of the coconut oil in the hot chocolate? Is it for health benefits or just flavor? Also a video on celiac disease would be great!

[azureocean]

Hey, great video! 😀
Curious question, how long do those products you use stay good? About how long is it until expiring date? 🤔
