Healing Adaptogens

Boost your body's internal ability to defend, perform, and restore with this guide to the 21 most common adaptogens and their healing properties from the team behind Four Sigmatic, now in paperback.

"Adaptogens . . . are some of the most underrated, yet powerful, tools for metabolic health, performance, and longevity. Tero and this book are an excellent entryway to learn how you can leverage them in your daily life." 
— Mark Hyman, M.D., New York Times best-selling author

Are you suffering from chronic fatigue, anxiety, digestive, or autoimmune issues? Or are you seeking a simple way to bring whole-body health into your life with a food that is easy to integrate into your everyday routine with no muss, no fuss?

Welcome to the world of adaptogens: nutrient-dense, calorie-sparse superfoods that have been clinically proven to help your body:

• defend your immunity and gut health
• perform through your cardiovascular and respiratory systems
• restore balance through your neuroendocrine system

By definition, adaptogens are nontoxic, nonspecific (meaning they build adaptive energy rather than exerting a specific effect), and normalizing (meaning there's a balancing bidirectional effect on physiological function). Tero Isokauppila, founder of Four Sigmatic, and registered herbalist Danielle Ryan Broida guide you through the scientific mechanisms and health benefits of the 21 most powerful species of adaptogens, from ashwagandha to chaga to turmeric.

"This is the book to help guide you toward a life of less stress, stronger immunity, sharper mental and physical performance, and an overall upgrade in your day-to-day well-being." 
— Kelly LeVeque, celebrity nutritionist and best-selling author
