The Best Peptides For Election Anxiety?

Happy Hump Day!

Usually, I like to stick to what I know best—health optimization, biohacking, and peptides.

But with election season in full swing, I’ve noticed that many people are feeling an uptick in stress and anxiety. Even though I isolate myself from news media, I still hear about everything through the grapevine.

So today, I’m swerving out of my usual lane to share some tools and peps to help you manage the noise and tension surrounding the election.

First, it’s important to remember that the best way to stay centered is to focus on what YOU CAN CONTROL!

• Your health

• Your mindset

• Your relationships

Politics exists to divide and conquer us average folk, but your energy is far better invested in strengthening yourself.

So what can we do? How about some peptides for stress and anxiety??

Top Peptides and Supplements for Stress Relief

If the current climate has you on edge, a few specific peptides and supplements might be just what you need to stay calm and balanced.

Consider adding these into your daily routine:

• Selank: Known for its calming and anti-anxiety effects, Selank can help reduce stress without sedating you (by the way, I just updated the peptide cheat sheet to include Selank).

• Epitalon: This peptide supports restful sleep and boosts overall resilience, which can make a massive difference during tense times.

• L-theanine: A fantastic natural supplement to reduce anxiety and improve focus without making you drowsy.

• Magnesium: It supports relaxation and muscle calmness, which helps ease mental stress, too. My favorite is from Billy Wease’s OptiyouRX.

Other Lifestyle Hacks to Handle Election Stress

Beyond peptides and supplements, these are my go-to weapons to keep me calm and grounded.

• Reading Fiction: Escape into a good story to clear your mind and reduce stress. Studies show that reading fiction can significantly lower anxiety by allowing your brain a break from real-life concerns. It also helps develop empathy. My favorite genres are fantasy (nerd alert LOL), legal thrillers (John Grisham), and spy thrillers (Jack Carr).

• Spending Time in Nature: Whether it’s a walk in the park or a hike, being in nature is one of the best ways to lower cortisol, clear your mind, and reset your mood. Every day, I prioritize walking with Taylor and our 2 German shepherds through the woods near our house.

• Journaling: Write down your thoughts. This helps you process and organize them, which can be especially helpful when life feels chaotic. I journal for at least 20 minutes today. Days I don’t journal feel the same as days I don’t shower (both of which are few and far between).

Final Thoughts

Anxiety and stress might be high, but you can bring calm into your life.

Stay strong, stay centered, and focus on what truly matters—your health, well-being, and peace of mind.

Best,
