Ever(a)Evolving

THE SEASON OF REST

Samhain → Yule → Imbolc

(Oct 31 – Feb 1)
Focus: sleep • restoration • digestion • nervous system safety • repair
Theme: Catabolic cleanup + cellular repair

Upon Waking

• ALA (600 mg) — NRF2 activation • mitochondrial repair • glutathione recycling

• NAC — glutathione precursor • antioxidant signaling

• Glycine (3 g) — repair • collagen • nervous system calm

• Warm water + salt (+ optional potassium) — hydration + adrenal support

• High-quality extra virgin olive oil — gentle metabolic signaling

With First Meal (with fat)

• Omega-3 (1.5 g) — anti-inflammatory balance

• PHGG — microbiome + motility

• L-Proline (1 g) — connective tissue support

• L-Lysine* — immune + collagen support

• Multivitamin (Pure Encapsulations O.N.E.) — micronutrient coverage

• Vitamin C (buffered) — glutathione regeneration

• Sulforaphane — NRF2 gene activation • adaptive resilience

• Quercetin — mast cell & inflammatory modulation

• Astaxanthin — membrane + mitochondrial protection

• Tributyrin — gut lining & colon fuel

• Cortisol Manager (if needed) — nervous system support

Evening (Dinner, 4+ hours before bed)

• Phosphatidylserine (100 mg) — lowers evening cortisol or optional Cortisol Manager (total 1-2 for high cortisol times)

Bedtime

• Triphala (500–3000 mg) — digestive support taken a few hours after dinner 

• BEDTIME DRINK IN WARM WATER: Magnesium blend — parasympathetic activation + Glycine (3 g) — deep sleep tone

​

THE SEASON TO EMERGE

Imbolc → Ostara → Beltane

(Feb 1 – May 1)
Focus: lymph flow • fascia hydration • heart rate variability • vagal nerve support • connective tissue awakening
Theme: Rehydration + gentle mobilization

Core Support 

• Lower dose NAC and ALA or cycle off 

• Breath-work, humming, chanting, singing

Add / Emphasize

• Electrolytes + mineral hydration

• Collagen peptides or gelatin — tissue awakening

• Vitamin C — collagen cross-linking

• Low-dose bitters or greens — digestive awakening

• Light adaptogens (gentle only)

Reduce

• Heavy antioxidant stacking if energy rises naturally

• Strong cortisol-lowering unless stress remains high

​

THE SEASON TO EXPAND

Beltane → Litha → Lughnasadh

(May 1 – Aug 1)
Focus: strength • joy • movement • outward energy
Theme: Anabolic building + resilience

Core Support

• Electrolytes / minerals — higher activity needs

• Omega-3 — recovery support

• Multivitamin — nutritional baseline

Add / Emphasize

• Creatine (aligned with strength goals and brain health) — cellular energy

• Protein/collagen support — building phase

• Magnesium (maintenance dose) — recovery

• Antioxidants mainly from food (berries, herbs, greens)

Optional Reduction

• Reduce NRF2-heavy stack unless under stress or specific protocol

​

THE SEASON TO INTEGRATE

Lughnasadh → Mabon → Samhain

(Aug 1 – Oct 31)
Focus: stabilization • blood sugar balance • gentle detox • preparation for rest
Theme: Simplify and anchor

Core Support

• Magnesium — nervous system grounding

• Glycine — sleep preparation for darker months

• Omega-3 — anti-inflammatory stabilization

• Fiber support (PHGG or food-based)

Add / Emphasize

• Liver support foods (bitters)

• Gentle antioxidant cycling (quercetin or sulforaphane intermittently)

• Blood sugar stabilizers via food rhythm

Reduce

• High stimulation supplements

• Excess performance-focused stacks
