We all love a good cheat sheet! 🤓  

Aside from producing some of the best medicinal mushroom 🍄 and tonic herb 🌿 extracts on the market, SuperFeast is also one of the best Traditional Chinese Medicine and modern health educators out there too 📚 (in my humble opinion…)

I’ve taken their products pretty well every day now for many years, but I do still remember when I was first going down the rabbit hole of medicinal mushrooms - it took a while to figure out what I wanted to take and why 🧐 

SuperFeast’s new ‘Tonic Herb Cheat Sheet’ ☝️ is a great starting point that highlights some of the key health areas addressed by the main blends and extracts - as explored by both TCM and indicated by more recent clinical trials 🧪 

It’s by no means a deep dive into any of it, but gives you a quick idea at a glance from which you can go on your own research journey if it piques your interest 📝 

Furthermore - if you do spot something you want to try, SuperFeast have a promotion for all of January where you can receive 3 x 20g bags of their most potent Medicinal Mushrooms, Adaptogens and Nootropics for FREE on orders from $150 and over 🎁 

AND

You can also use the discount code THEBIRCHERBAR with them at checkout for 15% off your entire order 🤯 

Food for thought huh!?

I’m never drinking again 🤒 🍻… so they say

With the haze of Christmas and New Year now almost a month behind us, some of you might have forgotten your promise to yourself that you’d never open another beer or look at a glass of wine ever again 🥂 

The brain-melting 🤯 hangover of the silly season that led you to declare that you’d never drink again is now a distant memory - and as the weather heats up ☀️ the idea of a crisp, cold and refreshing beer is all of a sudden sounding pretty good again 😃🍺 (or for you northern hemisphere folk, a glass of 🍷 to take the edge off those chilly nights 🥶)

Well - if you do find yourself wanting to dabble in a few drinks here and there again, it might be useful to have a quick look at our recent article 📄 on some of the best ways to help reduce the severity and longevity of the dreaded and destructive hangover 🤕 

From the food to eat and what to drink right through to your sleep patterns and some supplements that might help ease the pain - I’m sure there is something in there to help you out next time you fall into the trap 🪤 

Note: Let’s be honest, the only foolproof cure to avoiding a hangover entirely is to stay sober though! ⛔️

Our good friend Turmeric is at it again 💪 

Turmeric has long been celebrated as one of nature’s best remedies for many common issues and ailments - typically due to its potent anti-inflammatory properties.

And if this recent study in the Virology Journal is anything to go by, it may also be able to add ‘Covid / Flu Virus Killer’ to its list of accomplishments 💪 

The study has only been tested in a laboratory setting at this stage 🧫 , however, the research showed that the curcumin spray was effective in reducing viral infections while maintaining cell viability, and it had the potential to prevent both COVID-19 and influenza infections 🤯

The study also found that the spray not only inhibited these viruses but also enhanced mucosal immunity, which is the body's first line of defence in the nose and mouth 🙌 

Again - very early-stage stuff but an exciting lead nonetheless - check it out in full with the button below 👇

It’s Time To Hear From You! 🫵

If you’re anything like me - you probably do a good job of generally eating well 🍱 , exercising regularly 🏃‍♂️ and making sure you get a good sleep 🥱 (more often than not…)

And then Christmas and New Year hits 💥 

In all the excitement of the holiday season 🎅 - it can be pretty easy to eat a bit more, exercise a bit less and trade that good night’s sleep for some late evenings with family and friends 🥂 

That’s what it’s all about after all - but just how ‘off the rails’ did you go this year? 🤒 

Did you manage to keep on track with your health and fitness goals amidst the holiday chaos? 💪 Or did you drop it all and give yourself a break, knowing you can pick it right back up again after? 😎 

This week’s question is for The Bircher Bar reader is 👇
