Summary
Jordan chats with Sage + AnnaBlanca, the dynamic power couple behind Addictive Wellness Chocolate. These two could not be more knowledgeable when it comes to herbs, hormones, adaptogens, Traditional Chinese Medicine, “jing slinging,” and of course… what we are all obsessed with: healthy, wellness-boosting, nutrient-dense CHOCOLATE. And appropriately, this episode is a real treat! We explore why hormone health is so important, the difference between mens’ and womens’ hormones, the herbs that we can use to boost our health + energy, all of their tips + tricks for working with your significant other – and, of course, chocolate!
Jordan actually first talked to AnnaBlanca YEARS ago, shortly after they started Addictive Wellness, when she was reaching out to a lot of wellness blogs. AnnaBlanca was incredibly kind back then and she still brings that radiant energy now. We are so grateful to Sage + AnnaBlanca for bringing all of their positive energy (and their hysterical vibes) to this delicious conversation!
Are you #OnShrooms yet? Jordan has been loving Four Sigmatic more than ever because she’s cut out coffee entirely (if you haven’t already, check out episode 85 with the company’s founder, Tero Isokauppila). And if you’re trying to stay off of coffee but still want to feel alert and awake, there’s nothing better for you or better tasting than the caffeine-free Four Sigmatic Chaga Elixir (with some almond milk, date, and cinnamon, it makes a great latte!). You can go to FourSigmatic.com/BLONDE to get 15% off of your order!
We’d also like to thank HUM Nutrition! Jordan has been talking about them on the blog for YEARS because they help her feel amazing, and she wants you to know about them, too! HUM is an all-natural line of supplements, and their goal is to use science-based and clinical-backed nutrition as a tool for helping people feel amazing. After being diagnosed with Lyme, Jordan has been all about HUM’s different detoxification supplements like the Daily Cleanse. When you go to HUMNutrition.com, don’t forget to use the discount code SOUL at checkout to get 20% off your first order!
Lately, Jordan has been relying on her Sun Basket deliveries to get great, healthy food on the table! They deliver healthy and delicious recipes with fresh ingredients straight to your door, and you can prepare each meal in 30 minutes or less. It’s absolutely perfect if your life is busy or you’re having a hectic week!! Plus there are gluten-free, vegetarian, paleo, and family options available.

| 0:00.0 | Hello everyone, welcome back to the Balance Bond podcast, Seoul on Fire. |
| 0:19.2 | Today we have some fabulous guests, the amazing founders of addictive wellness chocolate |
| 0:26.5 | and a Blanca and Sage who are also a power couple, complete unbelievable, powerful duo who |
| 0:36.6 | are so knowledgeable, probably two of the most knowledgeable people I have ever met when |
| 0:42.1 | it comes to hormone health and healthy chocolate and running a business together as a couple |
| 0:49.5 | and incredible things about sugar alcohols. |
| 0:54.0 | Where we get our chocolate from that people just don't think about. |
| 0:57.8 | So I have the pleasure of meeting in a Blanca at Acu Puncture, but really we met so much |
| 1:05.8 | sooner than that when they started their company. I want to say four years ago, they were |
| 1:12.6 | already running their company and she started reaching out to bloggers and |
| 1:17.3 | podcasters and media outlets and she reached out to I think she said about a hundred people |
| 1:23.4 | and only three or four people got back to her and somehow I was one of those people. I was |
| 1:30.6 | blogging, I didn't have my podcast yet and we chatted and I told her I will always, always, |
| 1:37.3 | always remember our conversation because she was so kind and she shared so much with me. We had |
| 1:46.2 | a real human connection which is hard to do on email and I was just telling her when she was |
| 1:54.6 | here, I really wish that everybody would treat people like a true human, a true person on the |
| 2:02.2 | internet over email. Just kind of pour your heart out and be kind and that's exactly what she did. |
| 2:10.2 | So we talked a little bit back then and we reconnected at Acu Puncture. We see the same |
| 2:16.1 | amazing Acu Punxress Dr. Kara who's also been on this podcast if you'd like to scroll back |
| 2:22.9 | after this and listen to an episode all about Chinese medicine and acupuncture and cupping. |
| 2:29.5 | And this episode is a real treat we dive into everything from hormones, the difference between |
| 2:38.6 | women and men's hormones. So how men need their testosterone and women need their oxytocin |
