Anima Mundi APOTHECARY

I wish all pharmacies were like Anima Mundi, using nature to heal before relying on prescriptions. Founder Adriana Ayales is an herbalist from Costa Rica living in Brooklyn with a mission to provide ancient remedies to the modern world. I particularly like her Cerebrum tincture, helping me to stay quick and focused and enhancing my memory. Her Brooklyn store is my equivalent to a candy shop!

Healthforce superfoods

Started in 1990 by two naturopaths, Health Source Superfoods is known for their high quality products and sourcing standards. Their products are manufactured in the US, certified organic, non-GMO, gluten-free and vegan and their nutrient lock packaging keeps products fresh and safe. I don’t think you can get a more superfood-packed powder than Vitamineral Green. Toss some in your smoothie to start off the day with a kick!

Wooden Spoon HERBS

I’m a big fan of herbal plant medicine. From mushroom powders to adaptogen tinctures, I use herbal remedies to strengthen my body and keep it in sync with the earth. Wooden Spoons Mushroom Cocoa is filled with adaptogens and is a great way to start the day. They also make Sweet Dreams tincture, containing passionflower, skullcap, valerian and lavender, to aid in a good night’s sleep.

Sun Potion Ashwagandha

Ashwagandha is an adaptogen, an herb that helps us adapt to stress. When anxious, it calms. When foggy, it provides mental clarity. It can also energize and strengthen mentally and physically, which is why I prefer to take it in the morning. It strengthens the immune system and helps to balance hormones too. I like Sun Potion’s powder and tincture as they are both derived from the root of the plant, which is superior to the leaves. And, Anima Mundi sells a powder made from the root too.
