If you've recently started using Shilajit or Ashwagandha, stop and listen closely to this critical information.
Speaker 1: "If you've recently started taking Shilajit or Ashwagandha, any of those supplements, then you need to listen to"
Bearded man outside against a bright blue sky talking straight into his phone camera with an on-screen text overlay reading 'Important info if you take Shilajit or Ashwagandha'.
Call out users of popular natural supplements and trigger curiosity about a potential mistake they are making.
I've been taking both of these supplements for over a year, but many people never learn that you have to cycle on and off them.
Speaker 1: "this. I've been an advocate for those, definitely those two and a few other supplements now for over a year. But something not everybody tells you is you do need to cycle on and off of them."

Establish personal credibility as an experienced user while introducing the core topic of cycling.
The ideal routine is taking them for about two months (eight weeks), then pausing for a couple of weeks. These supplements impact cortisol, the stress hormone, which is why Ashwagandha reduces anxiety so well.
Speaker 1: "So what I tend to do is I tend to do about two months on, eight weeks, and then I'll take a couple of weeks off. Both of those two supplements that I'm talking about have an effect on something called cortisol, which is a hormone. It's a stress hormone that your body releases. And that's one of the reasons why Ashwagandha is so good at bringing down sort of anxiety levels."
Talking head shot continues outdoors with trees and blue sky visible.
Explain the biological reason (cortisol management) and introduce the recommended on/off cycle framework.
You must take a break after eight weeks so your body can rebalance its natural hormone levels. Otherwise, after taking it for a year straight, people report feeling flat and experiencing diminished effects.
Speaker 1: "However, you must make sure that you give your chance or your body a chance to normalize those levels. So after every sort of eight weeks, just take a week or two off. Let your body get back to sort of a normal level hormonal balance and then start again. People are saying that they've been taking it for a year and they're just feeling as though it's not really having the same effect as it used to have. And this can be one of the"

Agitate the risk of tolerance, diminished effects, and endocrine blunting from continuous daily use.
Apply this same cycling rule to any potent supplements, including Tongkat Ali, Turkesterone, Shilajit, or Ashwagandha—never take them religiously every day without taking breaks.
Speaker 1: "reasons why. So the same with all of your supplements, whether you're taking your Tongkat Ali, whether you're taking Turkesterone, Shilajit or Ashwagandha, make sure that you're not just taking it religiously every day without cycling on and off."
