🌴 A Saturday kind of magic in Miami… ☀️☕🍄

Sometimes, the best Miami days are the ones you don’t plan too much. 🤍

Our Saturday started at the Coconut Grove Farmers Market, discovering local gems like @feelyvb 🍄✨ Their specialty mushrooms and exquisite chocolate cookies were such a delicious surprise! And how nice it is to meet the founders behind the brands we love. 🤎

Next stop: Buena Vista, hunting for some special coffee beans ☕ while Tutti made herself comfortable in the AC 🐶😂

Then, my favorite kind of moment: playing Jenga with my daughter, enjoying live music, and watching people gather under the beautiful shade of a giant tree. 🎶🌳

Good coffee, local discoveries, family time, and a little sunshine… sometimes, luxury is simply having the time and the freedom to enjoy the little things.

This is one of the things I love about living in Miami. It’s not just about where you live, but how you get to live. 🌿✨

Would you spend your Saturday like this? 💛

Memory consolidation during sleep is one of the most thoroughly replicated findings in neuroscience. The core work goes back to studies showing that hippocampal firing patterns from waking experience reactivate during slow-wave sleep, and that disrupting those patterns selectively impairs memory for what was learned that day, without affecting anything else.

The part that gets less attention is how much of this depends on sleep quality rather than duration. Deep sleep is the stage that declines first with age, with stress, and with alcohol, and it’s also the stage doing the consolidation work. That’s why sleep debt and poor sleep quality produce such similar daytime symptoms despite being different problems, and why “get eight hours” is advice that quietly fails a lot of people who are already getting eight hours. The more useful question is what state your nervous system is in when those hours begin.

🧠 That’s the specific lever reishi has been studied for, not sedation, but lowering the arousal state that keeps deep sleep shallow. @feelyvb’s Elevate blend carries 944mg of it per serving, caffeine-free, with every dose disclosed and every batch third-party tested.

It was a true pleasure having Carly from @feelyvb with us for Still Life @miamibeachgarden.

She shared the Align formula, made as our ally in grounding and presence.

A physician formulated blend of Lion’s Mane, Cordyceps, and Himematsutake designed to support focus and clarity. Available in powder and capsules because the format should fit into your life just as you like it.

That is the heart of yvb. Targeted mushroom blends that support us feeling our very best. Mushrooms for the People 🍄

Lion’s mane has been studied since the 1990s, when Japanese researchers first isolated the hericenones and erinacines responsible for its effects on nerve growth factor. What made the finding notable was that these molecules are small enough to cross the blood-brain barrier, which most neurotrophic compounds cannot do.

The gap between what the research shows and what the supplement market promises is unusually wide here. Lion’s mane is routinely marketed alongside caffeine and stimulants for same-day focus, which is close to the opposite of its mechanism. Its documented effects appear over weeks in measures of processing speed, memory and stress, not in the hours after a dose. That mismatch is probably why so many people try it, feel nothing, and quit before the window in which anything would have been measurable, which is the single most common way this compound gets written off.

🧠 Follow @neuroglobe and @feelyvb to learn more about how the compounds in your routine actually work.

Research has consistently shown that the brain’s energy demand is both enormous and almost entirely inflexible. Unlike muscle, it cannot meaningfully downregulate consumption or build reserves, which is why cognitive performance is so tightly coupled to cardiovascular function and why aerobic fitness turns out to be one of the strongest predictors of cognitive performance across the lifespan.

Cordyceps has been studied in this space for decades, initially because of anecdotal reports from athletes training at altitude. The human trial evidence is modest in size but consistent in direction: improvements in peak oxygen uptake, ventilatory threshold and time to exhaustion, all emerging over weeks rather than hours. The reason this matters beyond athletic performance is that the same delivery system serves the brain. A compound improving how efficiently the body extracts and uses oxygen is operating upstream of nearly every cognitive process that depends on it.

🧠 Check out @feelyvb for precision-dosed cordyceps, third-party tested with every milligram disclosed.

In a new study, participants received either melatonin 5mg nightly or reishi extract standardized to 6% triterpenes, with insomnia severity measured at baseline and again at week 8.

The result fits a broader shift in how sleep medicine thinks about insomnia. For years the default model treated poor sleep as a timing failure, which made melatonin the obvious first move. The evidence has moved toward hyperarousal — the idea that most chronic insomnia is a nervous system stuck in a state of readiness rather than a clock set to the wrong hour. That reframing explains both why melatonin underdelivers for so many people and why compounds acting on stress and arousal pathways keep outperforming expectations. As a single trial presented in abstract form, it isn’t the last word — but the direction it points is consistent with where the wider literature has been heading.

Reference: Reishi mushroom extract versus melatonin for chronic insomnia, an 8-week randomised trial. Late-breaking abstract presented at SLEEP 2026.

This comprehensive analysis drew on the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, the long-running dataset used to track diet and health across the U.S. population. Its scale is what makes the finding notable, mushrooms are eaten by a relatively small share of American adults, so detecting a clear signal in a sample this large is meaningful.

What’s most interesting is the mechanism the authors landed on. Mushrooms are the only significant dietary source of ergothioneine, and average intake in the U.S. is low compared to countries with mushroom-heavy cuisines and longer average healthspans. That gap has become an active area of nutrition research, and this study is part of a broader shift toward treating mood as something shaped by nutritional and inflammatory status rather than by brain chemistry alone.

Reference: Mushroom intake and depression: A population-based study using data from the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), 2005–2016, Journal of Affective Disorders DOI: 10.1016/j.jad.2021.07.080

🧠 @feelyvb discloses the exact milligrams in every blend along with publishing third-party testing on every batch, built for the kind of consistent daily intake this research points toward. Reaching the threshold is the whole game.
