I’m a night owl. My mind starts going about 9:00 PM and won’t shut down until midnight or so. In the mornings, I usually arise around 6:30 AM. It’s pretty common for me to get less than 6 hours sleep. For years, coffee has been my best friend. Due to my third round of kidney stones, I haven’t had more than 1 cup of coffee per week in over 4 months. Carbonated drinks are even more rare… maybe one a month.
I have really been in need of something else to supply energy to get me through the day (short of sleeping more, which I occasionally do). To that end, I have found something that I think works extremely well. I’ve recently become an Independent Business Owner with Genesis Pure, Inc. offering health and nutrition products. They offer an all-natural energy drink that works wonders.
ENERGY comes in packets and you mix it with 8-12 ounces of water. They recommend (and I agree) to drink it before you hop in the shower in the morning. By the time you’re out and dressed, you feel great. It provides sustainable and healthy energy all day long. Unlike other “energy drinks”, this produces no crash afterward, no jitters, no nervousness, no hyperactivity and no heart palpitations.
You don’t feel a rush of energy or alertness that seems unnatural. It just helps you feel “normal” all day… even when you know you would normally be crawling along. My wife is a special education teacher and has a very physical schedule every day which starts at 4:30 AM. By the time she comes home, she’s dead for the day and usually passes out on the sofa around 8:00 PM. She tried one of these drinks this past week, taking it around 2:00 PM when she was starting to slow down. At 10:00 PM, she was still alert, happy and working on her assignments for the next day. That never happens. When she was ready to go to bed, it didn’t keep her awake. She went right out.
This is good stuff. If you’d like to learn more about it, here’s a video by the company founder that will give you some great info. If you’d like to try a sample, leave a comment below and I’ll send you a packet. It comes in two flavors, Tropical Blast and Sugar Free Grape Blast. I have a box of Grape that I can share.
I don’t use it daily, but it makes all the difference in the world when I need it.
Hey Gary, I’ve been starting to look for something like this. I’ve been crashing about 4pm everyday and would love a natural, non-caffeine alternative. Got a link to the company where I can see ingredient list and nutritional listing? – tammy
