Let's Harness the Power of Nature : Functional Chocolate with Adaptogens, Mushrooms, Cacao

My passion for the earth and chocolate started early. As did my curiosity for the power of functional food. I was a small town girl, growing up poor, unable to even afford a chocolate bar. A few things got me to the place where I am now, owning a chocolate company…from painful family tragedy—my mother’s suicide and my father’s subsequent assisted suicide [he died in my arms]—to my own primal need to not only survive in this world, but to thrive. Eat Gold was born. 

In a world where our health and well-being are constantly being challenged by stress and environmental factors, the search for natural remedies has become more important than ever. Among the emerging trends in the field of wellness, adaptogens, mushrooms, and cacao have gained significant attention for their potential to revolutionize our approach to health.

Adaptogens are a class of herbs and plants that have been used in traditional medicine for centuries. They are known for their ability to help the body adapt to stress and restore balance. These powerful substances can support our immune system, enhance mental clarity, and improve overall vitality.

Mushrooms have also taken center stage as a promising source of health benefits. From reishi and chaga to lion's mane and cordyceps, different varieties of mushrooms offer unique properties that can boost immunity, reduce inflammation, support brain function, and even improve energy levels.

Cacao is not just a delicious treat; it also holds remarkable potential for enhancing our well-being. Rich in antioxidants and minerals like magnesium and iron, cacao has been linked to numerous health benefits such as improved cardiovascular health, enhanced mood regulation through its serotonin-boosting properties, and increased cognitive function.

As we consider the future of our health journey’s, incorporating adaptogens and mushrooms into our daily routines may prove to be game-changers. These natural remedies offer a relatively easy approach to achieving optimal wellness while minimizing reliance on synthetic medications.
