The Mood Triangle: Simple Rhodiola, Tulsi, And Food Secrets That Calm Stress Fast

In today’s episode, I’m diving into a topic I’ve been thinking about a lot lately: the deep relationship between our nervous system, endocrine system, and digestive system—and how these three powerful systems work together to shape our mood climate.We often talk about emotions as if they are our mood, but they’re not the same. Emotions come and go like shifting weather patterns, while mood is more like the long-term climate of our inner world. In this video, I explore what actually influences our mood, how our physiological systems interact, and why understanding this triad can give us more tools for emotional regulation, mental health, and overall well-being.I also share why the choices we make in the heat of an emotional moment can shape our longer-term mood, and how becoming aware of these patterns can help us cultivate more stability, resilience, and self-understanding.We will focus on three adaptogens which specifically address the mood triangle:- Rhodiola- Tulsi- SchisandraIf you’ve ever wondered why your mood lingers long after an emotion has passed, or how your body’s internal systems contribute to how you feel day after day, this conversation will give you a clearer, more empowered perspective.🌿 Subscribe for herbal tips and wellness insights: https://bit.ly/4iRnpyX🎫 Upcoming Events - https://tinyurl.com/3y4xp6kc 🔗 Sky House Herb Website - https://www.skyhouseherbs.com/ ———— MY ONLINE COURSES 🌱🌝 Roots & Spheres Class: https://bit.ly/RootsAndSpheres  🌿Herbal Foundations Apprenticeship: https://bit.ly/HerbalProgram————Sources:Rhodiola - https://www.herbalist-alchemist.com/shop-products-rhd-rhodiola-extract Schisandra - https://www.herbalist-alchemist.com/shop-products-scd-schisandra-extract Tulsi - https://shop.organicindiausa.com/collections/teas-infusions Reishi - https://hostdefense.com/products/reishi-capsules?variant=38115227402 Chapters: The Mood Triangle: Simple Rhodiola, Tulsi, And Food Secrets That Calm Stress Fast00:00 – Begins01:30 – What Is Mood?
