Stress less, scroll smarter.

Focus Boosters help you lock in… but what about when you’re mentally logged out, your inbox is terrifying, and your stress levels are like a Love Island recoupling — unpredictable, chaotic, and overwhelming?

Today’s Drop: Stress Relief

When your brain is at 1% and your cortisol spikes harder than the Villa after midnight, it’s probably time to rethink what’s in your night routine.

We’re breaking down everything from L-theanine, magnesium, ashwagandha, and GABA to the $35 “fix” your favorite influencer swears by.

Mr. Perfect (Supplement Edition)

Because your stress deserves a perfect match.

❤️ Magnesium – The One You Should’ve Texted Back

He’s not flashy, but he’s exactly what your nervous system needs.
Supports deep sleep, muscle recovery, and mood balance.
You keep forgetting him, but every time you go back, you’re like:
"Why did I ever stop taking this?"

💋 Valerian Root – The One-Night Stand

Hits hard, works fast, and leaves you passed out.
You might wake up disoriented wondering what just happened,
but for a moment… it felt like love.
Use with caution; not everyone's type.

💌 Ashwagandha – The Long-Distance Relationship

You don’t feel it immediately, but give it time.
He’s regulating your cortisol and helping you not spiral over every red flag.
Lowers stress and anxiety, the emotionally supportive partner your HPA axis deserves.

🫶 L-Theanine – The ‘Chill’ Coffee Date

Meets you where you are, especially when you’re overstimulated.
Takes the edge off caffeine jitters and racing thoughts.
You leave feeling calm, clear, and somehow more like yourself.
The definition of “safe but sexy.”

The Recap:

• Need calm focus? Go L-theanine.

• Need to relax & recover? Magnesium is your night champ.

• Can’t sleep? Valerian root’s got you.

• Overwhelmed by life’s drama? Ashwagandha is your steady partner.

Supplement Spotlight:

 L-Theanine

 “Stress is a natural part of life. But—what’s crucial is how we manage it. L-Theanine serves as a natural way to calm our nervous systems down! “

PRO TIP: Take a look in your pantry. You might already have some L-Theanine on hand! This could save you the cost of buying it as a separate supplement. 

GREAT OPTIONS: Green tea, White tea, Matcha all
