Episode notes
Stress And Sleep Drive Much Of Disease
- Chronic stress and poor sleep drive many downstream health problems like depression, cardiovascular issues, and immune dysfunction.
- Nutraceuticals can gently rebalance physiology but must complement foundational lifestyle measures.
Use Nutrients As Supportive Tools
- Use saffron, L-theanine, lemon balm, holy basil, and ashwagandha as targeted tools for stress, mood, focus, and sleep.
- Combine them with diet, movement, and stress practices rather than replacing foundational habits.
Saffron Acts Like A Gentle Antidepressant
- Saffron boosts serotonin and dopamine and reduces inflammation, acting like a mild natural SSRI.
- Clinical trials show saffron (28 mg/day) improves depression, anxiety, and sleep without major side effects.
