Adaptogens & Juice (w/ Matt Shook owner of JuiceLand)

Our guest today is Matt Shook, Matt is the owner of Juice Land here in Austin, TX and on the show we'll talk about the benefits of juicing fresh vegetables and fruits. When you juice vegetables and fruits you access digestive enzymes that are normally locked away in the fiber. Most commercial juices are processed and lacking in nutrition, while freshly juiced veggies and fruits are loaded with vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients. We'll also explore other adaptogens and extracts that work really well with raw juices.  

Herbs and superfoods that boost stamina, energy and / or recovery:

 

Raw beets or beet juice - boosts nitric oxide levels and supports heart health.

Pineapple - has the enzyme bromelain, an enzyme known to support inflammation response. 

Spirulina -  energizing blue green algae known as great source of minerals, carotenoids, vitamins, and all sorts of other micronutrients. 

Turmeric - supports inflammation response. You can enhance the absorption of turmeric when you add black pepper or black pepper extract.
