We literally get hundreds of questions a week from readers all around the globe. In fact, this past month we’ve had visits from 171 different countries. What’s awesome about that is eating healthy is a global event, not just something that happens in your home town with your, likely, small number of healthy friends.

Some of the most popular questions that we get are ones that ask us about what we eat, our favorite herbs and our favorite supplements. A few weeks ago, I mentioned some of our favorite raw foods, but this week I’m going to address our favorite herbs (today) and then our favorite supplements later in the week.

Keep in mind, this list is ever changing, so please base your own health decisions on what you need, not what we’re doing.

Let’s take a look…

I gave you some great recipes on Wednesday that showcased one of my favorite herbs – holy basil or tulsi.

I guess the altitude here in Peru has gotten to me, because now that I look back, I think it would have been better to explain holy basil and the adrenals first – then give you the recipes.

But I didn’t and today, I have a chance to redeem myself.

This is the amazing thing about a blog – you can always write more and clarify what you said without it being printed in 10,000 books.

So here we go, Holy Basil and Adrenals 201 (201, not 101, because you guys are an advanced bunch)…

I’ve been experimenting with tulsi or holy basil for the last 7 months and am extremely impressed with its ability to reduce stress levels.

Today, we’re going to use holy basil as a base for our chai spiced tea latte and fresh coconut milk to sweeten it up!
