Healthier Alternatives to Caffeine: Discover the Best Herbal Coffee Substitute

I hate to break it to all the coffee lovers, but the reality is that caffeine in large doses does substantial damage to the body over time. It's not uncommon to see a Starbucks line completely wrapped around the building on any given day, but we really have to stop and ask ourselves, what is it about the coffee itself that keeps people gridlocked in the drive thru?


Caffeine is one of the most widely consumed stimulants around the world. It's found in coffee, tea, energy drinks, soda, and chocolate, just to name a few. While it can provide a temporary boost of energy and increase alertness, it can also contribute to a host of health issues if consumed excessively. In this blog, we will discuss the link between caffeine and mental health. We'll also recommend a mineral packed herbal blend that mimics the taste of coffee, without the caffeine.

The Side Effects of Caffeine and Why You Might Want to Quit

Caffeine stimulates the central nervous system and increases the levels of cortisol in the body, which, in excess for prolonged periods, can lead to inflammation and cause feelings of anxiety, jitters, and nervousness. According to a study published in 2006, stress combined with caffeine can contribute to elevated stress and anxiety levels. These symptoms can be exacerbated in people who are already prone to anxiety or have an anxiety disorder. While there are other factors that can trigger or exacerbate anxiety symptoms such as stress, lack of sleep, poor diet, and certain medications, it's crucial to identify your triggers and take steps to avoid or manage them to help reduce your anxiety symptoms. If you ask me, people who are dealing with mental health issues or take prescribed medications for mental health should abstain completely from caffeine.


That caffeine rush that most people chase to get through the day can come at a disadvantage to your health. A recent study found that two to four cups of coffee per day is known to reduce blood flow by 22-30%. Reduced blood flow leads to brain fog, tiredness and sluggish mood swings, and reduced mineral absorption. Caffeinated beverages are acidic, which robs the body of vital minerals and nutrients. Aside from contributing to anxiety, research has demonstrated that caffeine can cause nutrient depletion of important nutrients, like vitamin B6, and interfere with nutrient absorption of essential minerals, including calcium, iron, magnesium and B vitamins. Iron is required for carrying oxygen throughout the body and can cause anemia when levels are low. Calcium and magnesium are essential for bone formation and nerve function. All of these can contribute to anxiety symptoms, so it's essential to monitor your caffeine intake and limit it if necessary.

Caffeine Alternatives: From Herbal Teas to Roasted Roots

If you're a coffee lover but want to avoid the caffeine and load your body with nutrients to support bodily functions, we found a unique herbal blend that provides a bold, rich, and earthy flavor, just like coffee. The result is a delicious, nutty-tasting beverage that has the same rich flavor and aroma as roasted coffee, but without the caffeine. In this blend, roasted Chicory root and its plant cousin, Dandelion root, combine to create a gut and liver detoxifying drink that's packed with energy-boosting and nutrient dense minerals such as magnesium, calcium, iron and potassium. What makes this drink special is that both herbs offer a more roasted coffee flavor than the actual coffee beans. Say goodbye to coffee's caffeine crashes and hello to a healthier, more delicious way to start your day!

Stay Healthy Year-Round: Effective Strategies to Reduce Cold and Flu Incidence

It is of utmost importance that we pay attention to strengthening our immune systems naturally.  Using certain herbs, foods, supplements and homeopathic remedies can help you avoid catching a cold or flu and build your immune system.  If you do catch a virus, they can help relieve the symptoms and shorten the duration and severity of the illness. What most people don't realize is how much your daily diet has an impact on the strength of your immune system.  If you or your child are eating sweets daily, processed foods, junk food, drinking soda or other sweetened beverages regularly, you are weakening your immunity and will be more likely to catch viruses. One teaspoon of sugar (soda has about 9-11 tbsp.) can weaken your immune system for 4 hours.  I believe that this is why so many people are now having an extreme difficulty fighting illnesses.  (Besides repeated antibiotic use). Try eating more vegetables, at least 4-5 servings a day!  Along with eggs for ...

Navigating the Sea Moss Market: Wildcrafted vs. Pool Grown

Species: Wildcrafted Gracilaria from Tanzania      When shopping around for the superfood sea moss, it is important to understand the difference between wild harvested or wildcrafted and pool grown sea moss.

The Dark Side of Polyester: Health, Environmental, and Reproductive Concerns

  I know most of us love that feeling of slipping into a smooth, wrinkle-free outfit, but what if the material in your favorite clothes are silently harming your health? As I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized that it’s not just what we put in our bodies that make us sick, it’s also what we put on our body. You see, our skin is comparable to a sponge, soaking any and everything we put on it. That’s why it's imperative to be aware of the materials we are putting on our skin. Let's discuss why. Polyester is one of the world's most used fibers. It is found in our bras, underwear, leggings, and workout clothes, yet most consumers know nothing of how it's made. It’s essentially plastic. This plastic is made from crude oil based petroleum (yep, gasoline), and goes through a number of chemical processes to create the final products many of us are wearing right now. The polyester fibers that cover our skin are synthetic, or man made, textile fibers formed by condensation polymeriz...
