I’m not a fan of medication, I will say that upfront. I do embrace homeopathic remedies, but even these should be taken in moderation. However, a business owner’s lifestyle combined with the nutrient-depleted foods we are presented with at the supermarkets make it fairly challenging to always bring the “A-game”, day after day.
I have found that a few things have really had a significant impact on my overall energy, mood and motivation this year. The obvious factors are beginning to exercise 3 times per week, eating healthier in general and cutting down on working hours. However, I have found a couple of magic pills and remedies to really work when I am in unusually stressful periods. So fellow entrepreneurs, here is my brief list of magic remedies:
- Maca / Cacao combination. Available from Soaring Free Superfoods, its a wonderful natural combination that works within days of the first dose. Its great for vitality, energy and mood support.
- Ginseng. Available from any pharmacy. Make sure you get the Panax variety, as this has the most benefits for your body and is the ‘original’ ginseng. Every now and then I find that taking double the recommended dose for a day or two gives me a great pick me up with no side effects.
- 5-HTP / L-Tyrosine. Available from any pharmacy. These work hand in hand to aid your neuro-receptors, especially the ones operating on your mood and emotions (such as serotonin). I don’t take these regularly, but find that when I’m feeling down or stressed they help quite a lot. I’m not sure if its the Placebo affect or not, but there are other sources on the net that say these pills work well.
- Goji berries. Also available from Soaring Free. I would say this is more of a long term product, and a small handful should be consumed daily for optimium function.
I made a similar post a while back when I was working 12 hours a day, which has more general advice on how to combat high-workload situations.
N.B. I am not a health professional, and am only presenting this based on my own subjective experiences. Please consult a doctor if you plan on taking any combination of the above products!

“I will say that upfront. I do embrace homeopathic remedies”
epic failage.
” I do embrace homeopathic remedies, but even these should be taken in moderation”
Because Water Toxicity can be fatal?
No, because nobody should become dependant (even if only psychologically) on any substance, whether synthetic or natural.
Homeopathy may not have much scientific backing, but the empirical evidence of it being successful for certain treatments is quite conclusive.
Anyway, I don’t care much for fighting on the Internet, and this post details my personal experiences with what really worked for me. Hopefully someone will at least try what I’ve tried, since it will probably have better success for them than being duped by some late night TV commercial.
And always, just do your research! The internet makes it so easy to look something up.
I think the ship has already sailed on our dependence on water.
The scientific consensus that homeopathy has no effect beyond that of a placebo. That is to say that it has no medical effect in and of itself.
It’s all well and good to say it’s just you personal experience and it’s better than being “duped by some late night TV commercial” but is being duped by you really any better?
If you think you are right, you are right.
If you think you are wrong, you are wrong.
The only experience we can ever talk about is our subjective one. This is my reality, in which you guys are my guests
