TWT: New Controversy: Is Ashwagandha Right for You? 

Lately, you may have seen social media posts warning that Ashwagandha should not be used long-term-

But, with Ashwagandha being one of Ayurvedic’s most popular herbs that’s been used for 6,000 years are these online guru statements actually true?

On today’s show, I’ll break down what science, lab testing, and thousands of years of Ayurvedic use really says about Ashwagandha.

I’ll also share how it can be helpful, who it benefits, who should avoid it, and how to personalize your supplement choices for the best results.

Join me on today’s Cabral Concept 3483 as we go over the new controversy and find out if Ashwagandha is right for you.

Show Highlights & Big Takeaways:

1. Context Matters
Ashwagandha’s calming effect is ideal for those with high cortisol and excitatory neurotransmitters but not suited for individuals with already low levels.

2. Personalized Use Is Best
Supplement protocols should be based on lab testing and individual needs, not arbitrary limits or one-size-fits-all recommendations.

3. Proven Safety and Efficacy
With centuries of traditional use and many clinical studies, ashwagandha is safe and effective when used appropriately for the right person.
