This episode is brought to you by Four Sigmatic, which is part of my morning routine, also part of my afternoon routine. Routine saves me. So there are a number of ways that I use Four Sigmatic. In the mornings, I regularly start with their mushroom instead of regular coffee. And it doesn't taste like mushroom. Let me explain this. First of all, zero sugar, zero calories, half the caffeine of regular coffee. It's easy on my stomach, tastes amazing, and all you have to do is add hot water. I use travel packets. I've been to probably a dozen countries with various products from Four Sigmatic, and their mushroom coffee is Top of the list.

That's number one. I travel with it, I recommend it, I give it to my employees, I give it to house guests. So If you're One of the sixty percent of Americans or more who drink coffee daily, consider switching it up. This stuff is amazing. That's part one. That is the cognitive enhancement side, easy on the system side, energizing side.

The next is actually their chaga tea, which tastes delicious. It is decaf, completely decaf, and uh some may recognize chaga. It is nicknamed the king of the mushrooms. It is excellent for immune system support. So needless to say, I'm focused on that right now myself. And so I will often have that in the afternoons. They make all sorts of different mushroom blends if you are doing exercises, I am on a daily basis to keep myself sane. Cordyceps, excellent for endurance. They have a whole slew of options that you can check out. Every single batch is third party lab tested for heavy metals, allergens, all the bad stuff to make sure that what gets into your hands is what you want to put in your mouth. And they always offer a one hundred percent money back guarantee. So you can try risk free. Why not? I've worked out an exclusive offer with Four Sigmatic on their best selling Lion's Main Coffee. I literally have a mug full of it in front of me right now. And this is just for you, my dear podcast listeners. Receive up to thirty nine percent off. I don't know how we arrived at thirty nine percent, but thirty nine percent off, it's a lot.
