This season is all about nourishing your body and staying hydrated, so what better time than to celebrate the launch of an incredible drink like Juni? The incredible founders of Juni invited me to attend their fabulous block party at The Lighthouse in Venice, and simply had the best time. I was invited to do some ear seeding with East Healing here in LA. I had such a blast showing everyone the power of healing through acupressure!
Trying Juni's New Watermelon Lemonade flavor. Perfect for quenching your thirst while fueling your body.
I love that Juni combines ingredients that support both Qi (energy) and Shen (mind/spirit). Rather than relying on a large caffeine hit, it pairs a small amount of green tea with adaptogens and functional mushrooms to encourage steadier energy, mental clarity, resilience, and a more balanced stress response.
Let's break down those ingredients:
Ashwagandha – Helps regulate the body’s stress response, supports calmer cortisol levels, promotes resilience, may improve sleep quality, endurance, and cognitive function. In TCM, it resembles a gentle Qi- and Yin-tonifying herb that nourishes while restoring after chronic stress.
Lion’s Mane Mushroom – Supports memory, focus, concentration, and nerve health, while helping the brain adapt to stress. Emerging research also suggests benefits for nerve growth factor (NGF). From a TCM perspective, mushrooms often nourish Qi while supporting mental clarity (Shen).
Reishi Mushroom (Ling Zhi) – One of the most revered herbs in Chinese medicine, traditionally used to tonify Qi, calm the Shen (spirit), support immune function, reduce fatigue, and promote longevity. Modern research suggests antioxidant and immune-modulating effects.
Green Tea – Provides a gentle 30–33 mg of natural caffeine along with antioxidants and L-theanine, creating smoother, more sustained energy and focus with less of the jitteriness associated with higher-caffeine beverages.
Acerola Cherry – Exceptionally rich in natural vitamin C and antioxidants, supporting immune health, collagen production, and protection against oxidative stress.
Thank you for having me, Jay Shetty, Radhi Devlukia and Giselle Boxer!
