Start Your Engines: Rev Up Your Summer, Naturally!
Energy efficiency never got easier
Remember being brought up on the idea of endless sugar energy? Remember where that got us? Tired and craving for the next sugar fix and, oddly, minus the energy we were promised … Ketones, which are energy molecules, and the idea of a keto diet, where we eat in a way that helps our body produce ketones, was the stuff of science fiction.
We’re older, wiser and savvier now. Thanks be to Dee! We’re more than capable of getting our motors running on MCT ketone energy and, if we need a further bump start, mixing up a Brain Powder:
- No blood sugar spikes
- No follow up slumps
- No hunting down the next can of coke, or worse, wings
Amen to fast and natural ketone energy, caffeine, minus the jitters and the cool focus and cognitive clarity natural energy drinks afford us.
The question this summer is, can we drink a nootropic stack like it’s hot?
Yes! Yes, we can! Let’s do this. Grab your C8 MCT Oil, Brain Powders and Ah-ha. ElectroTide can ride shotgun, too - their sparky little electrolyte minerals keep you firing, naturally, of course! (Maybe bring your all natural Karen Candle along - she’s got the scent of a woman who knows how to get you dopamine(d) up!). Let’s outshine the sun and get sh*t done.
Remind me, what’s a ketone and why are we drinking them for energy?
Let’s do a refresher: we’ve been consuming MCT Oil for a while now to help us fast for that little bit longer without wanting to rip the leg off the deck chair and chew on it to put us on until our fasting window closes. We already know it makes any drink a keto energy drink. But, here’s why:
MCT Oil bypasses the normal digestive route and heads straight to the liver via the bloodstream.
The liver converts MCT to ketones, particularly when glucose is low - like when we fast.
Ketones cross the blood-brain barrier and the brain uses them as energy.
The food chatter calms. You can get on with your day without turning into a sugar seeking machine.
You’re saying it acts as a natural appetite suppressant?
Sold! Mix me an MCT natural energy drink and rev up my summer
Get creative and super-charge your energy. MCT can be added to drinks other than your familiar WillPowders Coffee (in the heat, you might want to go over ice - mmm). That’s always going to be a favourite keto energy drink, for sure.
Having a lazy Sunday afternoon but need to get your groove on and sort your life for the week? Try our ElectroTide Smoothie with Collagen to start your engines. Or get a grip on inflammation control and pep up your energy with a Spiced Latte over iceor a Tropical Turmeric Glow as nootropic stacks. Efficiency in a glass. To your health!
Special mentions go to MCT oil benefits as part of your energy ‘bev’olution:
Not only is there evidence that MCTs suppress appetite in some people, there’s also evidence from controlled studies to suggest that your tummy won't empty quite as fast with liquid foods that include MCTs, compared with liquid foods that include LCT's. Fuller for longer? Seems so! Increased natural energy and not feeling the need to eat constantly - now that’s a revelation and a bevolution combined!
Want drinks to give you natural energy and natural focus to get sh*t done?
We’ve got you covered, in more ways than one!
1. Nootropics for energy and focus?
Award winning Brain Powder’s our tipple of choice. How does it work? We’ve blended this nootropic stack so your brain no longer feels like primordial soup: caffeine energising, minus the panic, thanks L-Theanine, taurine and glucuronolactone for protection and the benefits of choline and B Vitamins 3, 6, 9 and 12 to boot. It’s so brimming with cool energy, it’s a wonder it fits in a glass! Suddenly, the brain fog clears like mist on a mirror and you're making your best decisions, doing your best work and living your best life, naturally.
2. Nootropics for cognitive function? Ah-Ha, there’s options:
Want to go long term with sharper cognitive function and memory recall? Not having to fight through brain fog is energising in itself. Rev up for life’s road trip, particularly in perimenopause, menopause and postmenopause. Think of these capsules as the powders that reawaken your brilliance. Ginkgo biloba, Panax ginseng and phosphatidyl choline are Ah-Ha’s nootropic roll call that can help to improve memory, reduce anxiety, and enhance concentration. Vitamins B12, B3, and B6 are important for nerve function and neurotransmission. Over time, you’ll get caught up in fewer moments of what’s that thing called, you know the thingamajig, and you'll catch yourself in moments of, get me, practically the brain of a supercomputer. Your only regret will be that you didn’t have these when you did your A-levels! Down them with any of our functional drinks and you’ll be nootropic stacking like a Tetris buff!
3. Nootropics for focus: calm down, we’re not aiming to be the Duracell Bunny.
We’re not aiming for our energy to be bigger, better, faster, stronger by hook or by crook! We can tend to think having energy means looking like a five year old bouncing off the walls. Great for them, but they aren’t being held to ransom by spreadsheet workloads or taking their mothers to yet another doctor’s appointment while simultaneously power hosing the decking. As adults, we need energy to be controlled, tireless and to keep us motivated..
For that, we need L-Theanine. Not only does it help prevent the caffeine jitters, it also aids dopamine production. Dopamine’s the drill sergeant that gets you to do stuff because you’re motivated. But, it’s that sort of calm motivation you get from having a soothed nervous system. It’s a hold my handbag, I’m going in, kind of vibe! Swallow a couple of Calm alongside that smoothie you amped with MCT and there’ll be no holding you back. Or maybe we can tempt you with a Ginger, Lemon and L-Theanine Fizz or a Strawberry Dopamine Boosting Shake for extra dopamine oomph?
That spreadsheet won’t know what’s hit it! Return serve by batting excellent work back at the boss. Then fix the both of you an Apple Cider Vinegar ‘Tini!
4. Sweet Jesus, get your head out of that chilled drinks cabinet!
- The only way you’ll find what you’re looking for in there is if you’re willing to compromise with artificial sweeteners or sugars (and lugging bulky cans home). We only use stevia as a natural sweetener. If you want to know more about WillPowders natural sweetener of choice, look no further than The Sweet Truth - Is Stevia All it’s Cracked Up to Be? It’ll answer all your questions like, Is stevia bad for you? Psst! Part of the answer is that data from 11 human studies concluded stevia is safe for human consumption, even at high doses. The review found no adverse effects on blood glucose levels, blood pressure, or other health parameters. So, if you were wondering about stevia sweeteners, we’ve done the leg work to answer the questions for you, so you can kick back. But, the next round of kombucha sachets are on you!
5. Why does WillPowders make it so easy for you to dodge canned energy drinks? Simple: they could be sh*t with sugar in for your metabolism
Type 2 diabetes, pre-diabetes and metabolic syndrome come attached with descriptions such as global epidemic, pre-morbid conditions and public health priorities. Living a sedentary lifestyle and not curbing glucose consumption from free sugars are often cited as leading causes for sailing our metabolic and endocrine health into choppy waters.
At WillPowders, we’re not willing to offer drinks that could be part of that problem. We want you to be able to enjoy your ‘bev’olution with drinks that won’t lead to insulin resistance. We want our sugar and artificial sweetener drinks option to be available to you at all times, home and away. It’s why we’ve designed sachets to grace your pockets and bags so you’re never caught without a little magic sprinkle! Try a Limited Edition Lilac Tipple Stash Tin for the full monty of choice.
Unless we visit the docs for their health check offerings, we could well have indicators of metabolic syndrome and not even be aware. If you’re wondering, what is metabolic syndrome, do I have it? Beyond asking, do I sport a larger waistline, all the other checks need to be done by a healthcare practitioner - things like blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol checks. If you’re worried, get checked. Take control.
In the meantime, we’ll keep creating delicious concoctions in keto diet recipes to keep your food energy boosted and scrumptious. Never have the words keto diet plan been more seductive. We also help you build your keto energy drinks and functional drinks armory, too. With food and drink this tasty, who needs the sugar overload? Not us!
