The benefits from schizandra come from the fact that it's a potent liver tonic. The sour flavour effects the liver by improving organ function, specifically phase 1 and 2 of detoxification. ⁣
⁣
During these phases, the liver removes toxins such as xenoestrogens from the body.⁣
Schizandra helps your liver pack up toxins and appropriately remove them while minimizing detox symptoms like blemishes, fatigue, and headaches.⁣
⁣
When we get those toxins out of our body we can experience better hormone health and reduce the symptoms of ‘estrogen dominance' that can affect both women and men. ⁣

I haven’t had caffeine in 5 years. This is because of a few reasons but the biggest one was being told by my doctor that I had adrenal fatigue. It was so hard on me when I stopped drinking caffeine and I honestly could only get one or two things done each day. Caffeine withdrawal is no joke but I needed to do it to allow my adrenals to heal so I could get my energy back. ⁣
⁣
This summer I was craving iced coffee and thought I would try introducing decaf coffee into my system, And I fu***ng love it! I will still continue to be careful with coffee, even decaf coffee can have small amounts of caffeine. ⁣
⁣
Now here’s something for the caffeine lover too, cold brew! Cold brew coffee is less acidic, a study showed it was 67% less acidic. It has a sweeter, smoother flavour and is less bitter. So for anyone who feels that coffee is giving them gut pains making cold brew is a great alternative. ⁣
⁣
How to make ~ ⁣
⁣
1 cup coarsely ground coffee ⁣
3 cups filtered water gently stirred ⁣
Glass jar or container ⁣
Let steep for 12-24 hours depending on how strong you would like your brew. ⁣
Strain ⁣
Keep in the fridge and add your favourite cream. ⁣
I have been using Rolling Meadow cream, Monogram decaf and a dropper full of Chocolate Reishi tincture from Pranic forest 🖤⁣

Get your cold brew on 🤟⁣

Ps. Coffee still doesn’t count as water. ⁣

A pine pollen tincture is a liquid extract that preserves and enhances the potency of pine pollen in a solution, alcohol in this case. pine pollen is a rich source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, and contains a high amount of phytoandrogens. These plant hormones, known as brassinosteroids, are ‘bioidentical,’ meaning they mimic naturally occurring male hormones. ⁣
⁣
Healthy levels of male hormones are essential to reduce disease risk and promote general health, cholesterol levels, body composition, and s*xual function (equally in men and women). There is an important link between low androgens and an increased risk of health problems, obesity, and premature death.⁣
⁣
The research strongly suggests that both genders would be wise to ensure they have sufficient male hormones, especially as they grow older. The reason for this is that across the board, androgen levels plummet with increased age. This reality is why ingesting food sources of phytoandrogens is essential to maintain health and vitality throughout life. ⁣
⁣
the plant-based hormones in pine pollen have a strong influence on the human mind and body without the side effects of pharmaceutical hormone replacement therapy (since they are bioidentical). There are few plants on Earth with phytoandrogens, and none come close to pine pollen in potency and efficacy⁣
