We’ve been testing mushroom coffees… and this one keeps coming out on top.

Why we brought in La Republica:
• 7 functional mushrooms (most brands only use 2–4)
• 100% full fruiting bodies — no fillers, no mycelium shortcuts
• Mold-free + low acid (huge for gut + those sensitive to coffee)
• Lower cost per serving (under $1)
• Smooth energy without the crash

Options we have in-store:
• Mushroom Coffee – daily focus + energy
• Ground Mushroom Coffee – for your regular coffee routine
• Hot Chocolate – mood + mind support (and yes, it actually tastes good)

Not going to lie… we were a Ryze family for a while.
But after trying this… it’s not even close.

Better ingredients, more mushrooms, smoother energy — and just feels better.

If you’ve been doing Ryze and thinking about upgrading… this is your sign.

BODY & SOUL BASICS: LIVER SUPPORT

Your body already detoxes. Your liver just needs support.

Your liver is responsible for filtering toxins, balancing hormones, supporting digestion, and keeping your energy and blood sugar stable. When it is overloaded or sluggish, it can impact almost every system in the body.

Feeling bloated, tired, breaking out, moody or hormonal, or dealing with brain fog? Your liver might be asking for support.

Common things that can burden the liver:
• processed foods and excess sugar
• seed oils and inflammatory fats
• alcohol
• environmental toxins (fragrance, cleaners, pesticides)
• chronic stress and lack of sleep
• overuse of medications or supplements

Simple ways to support it:
• lemon water or bitter greens daily
• milk thistle + NAC
• sweat (sauna, workout, even a walk)
• swap seed oils for olive oil, ghee, or tallow
• castor oil packs over the liver area to support circulation and lymphatic flow

Castor oil packs are one of my favorite gentle ways to support the liver. I personally do them about 5 nights a week. Apply castor oil to a cloth, place it over the right upper abdomen, and use heat for about 20–30 minutes.

Supporting your liver is not about doing more. It is about removing the burden and giving your body what it needs to function the way it was designed to.

Body & Soul Basics: Why Methylated B Vitamins Matter

B vitamins help your body turn food into energy, neurotransmitters, and detox molecules.

However, up to 40–60% of people carry genetic variations (like MTHFR) that make it harder to convert common synthetic B vitamins into their active forms.

That means your body may struggle to use:
• Folic acid
• Cyanocobalamin (B12)
• Pyridoxine HCl (B6)

Methylated B vitamins are already “activated,” so your body can use them immediately.

Some people take B vitamins but still experience symptoms because their body can’t convert them well.

Possible signs include:

• Low energy or chronic fatigue
• Brain fog or poor focus
• Mood changes, anxiety, or irritability
• Headaches or migraines
• Tingling or nerve discomfort
• Poor stress tolerance
• Elevated homocysteine on bloodwork
• Trouble detoxing hormones or toxins

For some people, switching to methylated forms can make a noticeable difference.

Look for These Active Forms Instead of synthetic versions:

• 5-MTHF (methylfolate) instead of folic acid
• Methylcobalamin instead of cyanocobalamin
• P5P (pyridoxal-5-phosphate) instead of pyridoxine HCl
• Riboflavin-5-phosphate instead of standard B2

These forms support methylation, a critical process involved in:

• Detoxification
• DNA repair
• Neurotransmitter production
• Hormone balance
• Cardiovascular health

Methylated B vitamins may be especially helpful for people with:

• MTHFR genetic variations
• Fatigue or burnout
• Brain fog or poor focus
• Migraines or neurological symptoms
• High homocysteine levels
• Stress-heavy lifestyles

Because methylated B vitamins support energy production, many people prefer taking them earlier in the day.
