PRIMAL BLUEPRINT
Mark Sisson with Coffee Cup

Hey there, I hope your Monday is going well.

Modern everyday life is stressful in the best of times. We are simply not genetically built for commutes, long periods of sitting, balancing the family budget, inhaling harsh chemicals from industry…

Now, we have pandemic stresses on top of that. Wondering whether you made the right decision about the kids’ school in the fall, worry about your parents’ health, questioning what’s going to slip with all of the extra stuff you’re juggling. 

Most everyone is aware of the mental component of stress, but there are very real physical implications as well. A significant concern is that stress burns through key nutrients. For example:

  • Your adrenal glands gobble up vitamin C during times of stress, illness, or injury
  • Magnesium prevents your stress response from going out of control, so extra magnesium gets directed to the systems that your body wants to regulate
  • B vitamins help restore a calm mental state after periods of high stress
Get Primal Damage Control

When your body gets the signal that it doesn’t have enough of a vitamin or mineral, you get another surge of stress on top of the stress you already feel. It’s a hamster wheel that’s hard to get off of if you’re not aware that it’s in motion. 

I learned about this effect years ago, so early on, I would supplement these key nutrients every day so that when stress hit, my body had what it needed and then some. 

I remember filling an entire shelf of my cabinet with supplements. I was taking no less than 12 pills just to address the vitamins and minerals that my body would need in times of stress. It was a lot to keep track of.  

Eventually, I developed a supplement called Damage Control so that I could take just one supplement instead of bottle after bottle. 

Am I going to tell you that I live a stress-free life now that I cover my vitamin and mineral bases? No, not at all. I will say that I approach difficulties with the strength and clarity to make good decisions and come out on the other side without too much collateral damage. 

Since we’re all going through the same thing right now, I’m offering a FREE bottle of Primal Blueprint Damage Control with purchase of a bottle. It’s a great way to support your body’s natural defenses for whatever may come your way in the next few months. 

I know everyone is talking about this "new normal" as if it's going to be this way forever, but I wholeheartedly reject that. Humans have been through countless crises, and without fail, the tumultuous period ends. I have no doubt that life will feel harmonious again.
