93: Herb Tonics and Their Uses with Brandon Gilbert - How We Have Lost Touch with The True Meaning of Adaptogens

Reset Renew Revive

Are you getting the most out of your herbs? Today on Reset, Renew, Revive, we interview the founder of Hyperion Herbs, Brandon Gilbert. He is committed to creating simple, clean, and affordable herb tonics. Brandon only sells what he himself would use and never sacrifices quality for economic gain. We discuss the most effective adaptogens and how simple is always better.

There is a lot of confusion in the herbal and supplement space. It can be difficult for consumers to understand what they are buying and how to use it effectively. Brandon explains how we are losing connection to the true definition of adaptogen as trends overtake the market and disrupt the traditional knowledge of herbal science.

These herbs have been known and used for centuries around the world, but the American tendency to capitalize on a niche market is corrupting the quality and information about these ancient medicines. In this episode, Brandon teaches you how to find the best quality extracts and tonics, so you don’t waste time and money following a new trend. Join us as we uncover the simplest ways to enhance your diet with herbal tonics.

MEMORABLE QUOTES

“I just built it up and let it grow organically. I didn’t do any advertising. I had never done any marketing in any way, shape, or form until 2020, so my company existed for a decade without doing anything other than just my youtube channel.” [4:00] -Brandon Gilbert

“My mindset is quite simple, I just sell things that I genuinely believe in, and then I try to tell the truth about how I genuinely feel about those things. If people like it, that’s cool. If they don’t, that’s fine.” [25:37] -Brandon Gilbert

“We know in America that psychopaths and sociopaths, absolutely excel in the corporate world, because there’s a certain absence of conscious that really allows you to succeed in the system in which we exist in, and there just seems to be that as companies grow, as idea’s scale, often time sacrifices and compromise often times has to be made.” [27:30] -Brandon Gilbert
