You’re inside The Vault - where all the theory and mindset work that we do together on the podcast and in the articles gets put into action.

TLDR: Scroll to the bottom of this post or subscribe to The Vault to download your Functional Drinks Glossary.

From adaptogens to valerian root with a stop at nootropics, lion’s mane and CBD, functional drinks are exploding on the alternative drinks scene at the moment.

But do you really have any clue what they’re on about?

I didn’t.

So I did some research and put it all together for you in this week’s Vault Tool, so you never again have to stand in the middle of Holland & Barrett wondering whether you should be paying £27 for 3 micrograms of plant essence!
