🔑 Key takeaways
- Nature operates in cycles and pulses, so humans respond fantastically to variation
- Kava actively improves your biology, feels great, and can even help people come off dangerous medications by restoring optimal neurotransmitter (especially GABA) function
- Full-spectrum botanicals contain other constituents that increase the effects, half-life, and mitigate side effects (isolates do not)
- Kava increases mental clarity, confers longevity benefits, acts as a potent anti-inflammatory, protects the metabolism (and brain post-TBI), activates the body’s NRF2 antioxidant defense system, lifts mood, can accelerate weight loss, and makes you more social
- Many modern ideas are derived from old principles
