Hi I'm Ernie Wasserman with Jesse Chappas from the Ultimate Health Podcast.

Welcome back to another Focus Friday where we give you short bursts of

information and inspiration to set your weekend off on the right foot and today we

are talking about Adaptogens. And today on the Focus Friday we are doing something totally new, totally different, and we're going to be answering a question from one of our listeners.

And how we got this question is we did a poll over in our Facebook community and if you aren't in there

be sure and join at ultimate health podcast.com slash community and we have over

4,000 people in there now and it's just such a great community thank you guys

for being part of that. But we're going to be answering

questions periodically on the Focus Fridays and we're going to take them from the community. So this is going to be fun.

Super fine and we're so excited to hear what you guys want to learn more about.

So today's question comes from Michelle Joa and she wanted an in-depth explanation of how

adaptogen foods help you deal with stress and she has struggled

to understand them and now she wants to be able to explain them to others.

So this has forced Jesse and I to go deep into Adoptogens. We're going to give you guys an overview today and Michelle, we hope you learn something new about Adaptogens.

So Marty and I've been consuming Adaptogens for years and years, but it was cool in preparing for

this focus Friday to go into the research and just freshen up on what they are and how they

work.

So today on the show we're going to get into what adaptogens are, how they work, and we're going to talk

about some of our favorite ones and how we use them.

And when you guys are googling around on the internet and looking at adaptogens, you might come across the words

tonic herbs.

And there's really no difference between these two terms.
