Brazilian grown arabica coffee is special

Arabica coffee plants flourish at higher elevations, typically between 2,000 to 6,500 feet above sea level. The cooler temperatures and well-drained soils found at these altitudes are ideal for growing Arabica coffee. The slower maturation process at high altitudes allows the beans to develop more complex flavors and a higher concentration of sugars. This results in a coffee that is often described as having a balanced acidity, sweetness, and intricate flavor notes, which can include fruit, floral, and chocolatey undertones.

Adjusting to Increased Brewsh Coffe Consumption

Adjusting to Increased Brewsh Coffee Consumption
Coffee is a staple in many people's daily routines, providing that much-needed boost of energy to start the day or power through an afternoon slump. For those who have been enjoying Brewsh coffee and are considering increasing their intake from one serving to two, it's essential to understand how to manage this transition and recognize signs that you may need to revert to a single serving.

Understanding Tolerance and Benefits
Increasing your coffee intake can offer several benefits, including improved alertness, enhanced cognitive function, and potentially more antioxidants. Brewsh coffee, known for its rich flavor and high-quality beans, can provide these benefits while delivering a delightful drinking experience. However, it's crucial to understand how your body tolerates the increased caffeine and adjust accordingly.

Steps to Increase Your Coffee Intake

Gradual Increase: Rather than jumping from one to two servings immediately, consider increasing your intake gradually. Start by adding half a serving to your routine and monitor how your body responds over a week or so.
Monitor Your Body: Pay close attention to how your body reacts. Increased heart rate, jitteriness, or feelings of anxiety can indicate that your body is not tolerating the additional caffeine well.
Stay Hydrated: Coffee is a diuretic, meaning it can lead to increased urination and potential dehydration. Ensure you're drinking enough water throughout the day to stay hydrated.
Maintain a Healthy Diet: Caffeine can sometimes suppress appetite, so make sure you're still consuming a balanced diet to support your overall health and energy levels.

Signs You May Need to Reduce Your Intake
While some people can comfortably enjoy two servings of coffee a day, others may find it too much for their system. Here are some signs that you may need to reduce your intake back to one serving:

Increased Anxiety or Nervousness: If you notice heightened feelings of anxiety or jitteriness, it could be a sign that the additional caffeine is overstimulating your nervous system.
Sleep Disturbances: Difficulty falling asleep or experiencing poor-quality sleep can be an indicator that you need to cut back. Try to avoid consuming coffee later in the day to see if it improves your sleep.
Digestive Issues: Caffeine can increase stomach acid production, potentially leading to digestive discomfort. If you experience heartburn, acid reflux, or stomach pain, it might be time to reduce your intake.
Rapid Heart Rate: If you feel your heart racing or experience palpitations after increasing your coffee intake, it’s essential to decrease your consumption and consult a healthcare professional if symptoms persist.

Listen to Your Body
Everyone's tolerance to caffeine varies, and it's important to listen to your body and adjust accordingly. If you decide to try two servings of Brewsh coffee a day, do so mindfully and pay attention to any adverse effects. Should you experience any of the negative signs mentioned, reducing back to one serving can help restore balance. Increasing your Brewsh coffee consumption from one to two servings can offer added benefits, but it's crucial to do so responsibly. By gradually adjusting your intake, staying hydrated, and monitoring your body's responses, you can enjoy the increased energy and focus that comes with an extra cup. Always be mindful of how your body feels, and don't hesitate to revert to one serving if needed to maintain your health and well-being.

How do you Brewsh?

Exploring the Benefits and Differences of Brewing Brewsh Coffee: Drip Coffee Maker, French Press, and Reusable K-Cups.
Coffee enthusiasts often debate the best brewing methods to extract the most flavor and benefits from their favorite beans. Brewsh coffee, known for its rich and complex flavors, is no exception. The method you choose can significantly influence your coffee experience. Here, we delve into the differences and benefits of brewing Brewsh coffee using a drip coffee maker, a French press, a pour over, and reusable K-Cups.

Drip Coffee Maker
Drip coffee makers are user-friendly and consistently deliver a well-brewed cup of coffee. They are ideal for busy mornings because they require minimal supervision once set up. These machines can brew multiple cups at once, making them perfect for households with multiple coffee drinkers or for hosting guests. Modern drip coffee makers also maintain the optimal brewing temperature, ensuring the extraction of the best flavors from Brewsh coffee beans. However, it’s important to note that the flavor profile produced by the drip method tends to be clean and mild, highlighting nuanced notes. Some coffee enthusiasts may find it lacking the robustness they prefer due to the paper filters used, which can absorb some of the coffee oils and result in a less oily and lighter brew compared to other methods.

French Press
The French press allows for full immersion of the coffee grounds, resulting in a richer and more robust flavor. The oils and fine particles remain in the brew, enhancing the complexity of Brewsh coffee. You have complete control over the brewing time, allowing you to experiment and find the perfect balance for your taste preferences. Unlike other methods, the metal mesh filter in a French press does not absorb the oils from the coffee, preserving the full flavor profile. However, French press coffee often contains more sediment than drip coffee, which can be a drawback for those who prefer a cleaner cup. Additionally, brewing with a French press requires more attention and effort, from boiling water to timing the brew and pressing the plunger.

img-feature-CoffeeMaker-PourOver-800x600

Pour Over Coffee
The pour-over method offers precision and control over the brewing process. By adjusting the water flow and brewing time, you can extract the desired flavors from Brewsh coffee beans. This technique typically results in a bright and clean cup of coffee, highlighting the intricate flavors and aromas. Pour-over setups are straightforward and require minimal equipment, making them accessible and easy to use. However, like the French press, it’s a manual process that demands attention and skill—pouring water slowly and evenly over the coffee grounds. Additionally, pour-over methods are often designed for single servings, which may be less practical for brewing multiple cups at once.

Reusable K-Cups
Reusable K-Cups machines offer several benefits. They are an eco-friendly alternative to single-use pods, reducing waste and aligning with sustainable practices. Keurig machines provide quick and easy brewing, making them ideal for those who want a fast cup of Brewsh coffee without sacrificing quality. With reusable K-Cups, you have control over the strength and flavor of your brew by adjusting the amount of coffee grounds. However, it’s essential to note that Keurig machines typically brew at a lower pressure than espresso machines or French presses, potentially resulting in a less intense flavor. Additionally, reusable K-Cups are designed for single servings, which may be less practical for brewing multiple cups at once.

Conclusion
The choice between a drip coffee maker, French press, pour over, and reusable K-Cups for Keurig largely depends on your personal preferences and lifestyle.

Drip Coffee Maker: Ideal for those seeking convenience and consistency with a clean, mild flavor.
French Press: Best for those who appreciate a rich, full-bodied coffee and don't mind a bit of sediment.
Pour Over: Perfect for those who enjoy a precise brewing process and want to highlight the intricate flavors of Brewsh coffee.
Reusable K-Cups: Perfect for eco-conscious individuals who prioritize speed and convenience while still enjoying the ability to customize their brew.

Ultimately, each method has its unique benefits and can bring out different aspects of Brewsh coffee, allowing you to enjoy this exceptional coffee in various delightful ways.

More Brewsh, More focus?

Brewsh Coffee: More Servings Don’t Always Mean Better Cognition

Coffee, a beloved beverage enjoyed by millions worldwide, is often lauded for its ability to enhance focus and boost energy. For many, a cup of coffee is the go-to solution to jumpstart the day or stave off mid-afternoon fatigue. Brewsh Coffee, known for its rich flavor and quality, is no exception. However, when it comes to increasing cognitive function, simply drinking more Brewsh Coffee might not be the answer.

The Role of Caffeine in Focus and Cognition
Caffeine, the main component in coffee, acts as a natural stimulant by blocking the inhibitory neurotransmitter adenosine. This results in increased neuronal activity and the release of neurotransmitters like dopamine and norepinephrine, leading to heightened alertness and improved focus. However, excessive caffeine intake can cause negative effects such as jitteriness, anxiety, and sleep disturbances, which may impair cognitive function.

Beyond Caffeine: The Benefits of Lion’s Mane Mushrooms
Lion’s Mane mushrooms (Hericium erinaceus) offer cognitive-enhancing properties beyond what caffeine provides. These mushrooms contain compounds like hericenones and erinacines, which promote brain cell growth and improve nervous system function. Studies indicate that Lion’s Mane can enhance memory and cognitive function by stimulating nerve growth factor (NGF) synthesis, crucial for the growth and maintenance of nerve cells.

Brewsh Coffee with Lion’s Mane: A Balanced Approach
Combining Lion’s Mane mushrooms with caffeine in Brewsh Coffee provides both immediate focus enhancement and long-term cognitive benefits. While moderate caffeine intake can improve focus, excessive consumption can be counterproductive. Incorporating Lion’s Mane into the coffee routine balances the stimulant effects of caffeine with the neuroprotective benefits of the mushroom.

The 16-Week Cognition Wellness Cohort
The 16-Week Cognition Wellness Cohort is designed to help individuals understand the impact of Brewsh Coffee and Lion’s Mane on their cognitive health. Participants monitor and adjust their intake to find an optimal balance that enhances focus and cognition without overreliance on caffeine. The program includes regular check-ins and assessments, allowing for a personalized approach to cognitive wellness.

Conclusion
While caffeine enhances focus, it doesn’t necessarily improve cognition. Adding Lion’s Mane mushrooms to the coffee regimen provides a holistic approach, combining immediate focus benefits with long-term brain health support. The 16-Week Cognition Wellness Cohort offers a structured way to explore these benefits, aiming for optimal cognitive wellness through balanced coffee consumption.

Add a little more spice to your life!

Enhancing Neuroprotection: Adding Turmeric to Your Brewsh Coffee Routine

In the pursuit of better cognitive health, turmeric stands out for its neuroprotective properties. This spice, containing the active compound curcumin, is known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits, which support brain health and overall well-being.

The Power of Turmeric
Turmeric, derived from the Curcuma longa plant, has curcumin, which combats inflammation, neutralizes free radicals, and enhances brain function. Curcumin's ability to cross the blood-brain barrier makes it particularly effective in supporting neurological health.

Additionally, curcumin increases BDNF levels, improving memory and cognitive function while potentially delaying age-related brain decline. By boosting serotonin and dopamine levels, curcumin can improve mood and reduce depression symptoms, further supporting brain health.

Adding Turmeric to Your Brewsh Coffee Routine
Incorporating turmeric into your Brewsh coffee routine is simple and beneficial. Add a pinch of turmeric powder and a dash of black pepper to your Brewsh coffee to enhance curcumin absorption. Alternatively, mix Brewsh coffee with milk, turmeric powder, black pepper, and a sweetener, then heat until warm and frothy to make a turmeric latte. For a precise dosage, you can also take turmeric supplements with black pepper extract for better absorption.

Adding Turmeric to Your Daily Diet
Turmeric can be integrated into various aspects of your diet. Add a teaspoon of turmeric powder to smoothies for an anti-inflammatory boost. Incorporate turmeric into soups, stews, curries, and rice dishes. Prepare a traditional golden milk by mixing turmeric powder with warm milk, black pepper, cinnamon, and honey for a soothing drink. For a health-boosting salad dressing, combine turmeric with olive oil, lemon juice, and black pepper.

Conclusion
Adding turmeric to your Brewsh coffee or daily diet enhances neuroprotection and supports brain health. With its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and mood-enhancing properties, turmeric is a valuable addition to any daily regimen for bolstering cognitive function and overall well-being.

Why Brewsh uses 100% Aracabi coffee beans.

Genetic Diversity and Rich Flavors
Arabica coffee's intricate flavor profiles stem from its rich genetic diversity, rooted in its hybrid origins. This diversity enables a broad spectrum of flavors and aromas, making Arabica cherished by coffee connoisseurs.

Hybrid Heritage
Coffea arabica is a hybrid of Coffea canephora (Robusta) and Coffea eugenioides, resulting in a complex genetic makeup. This hybridization enhances its flavor, offering a more nuanced and sophisticated taste compared to other varieties.

The Balance of Diversity
Despite these challenges, Arabica's genetic diversity remains a strength, offering unmatched complexity and variation in taste. This diversity is crucial for its evolution and adaptation, as selective breeding and cultivation aim to enhance resilience while preserving its cherished flavors.

Conclusion
Arabica coffee's genetic diversity provides a wealth of flavors and some susceptibility to threats. This diversity is key to Arabica's enduring appeal, making it the preferred choice for a sophisticated and varied coffee experience.

Boost Absorption and Sustain Energy:
Enhance Your Brewsh Coffee with Coconut Oil or MCT

Combining superfoods and functional ingredients is a strategy many enthusiasts swear by. One such potent combination is adding coconut oil or medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) oil to your daily cup of Brewsh coffee. This blend not only enhances the absorption of essential nutrients but also provides a sustained energy boost that can elevate your day. Here’s how this dynamic duo works together to benefit your health and well-being.

Start with Brewsh Coffee
Brewsh coffee is celebrated for its high-quality beans to ensure a rich flavor and robust caffeine content. For coffee lovers, it's not just about the taste; it’s also about the experience and the benefits that come with every sip. Brewsh coffee, unlike other premium coffees, is packed with antioxidants and beneficial compounds that can improve cognitive function, boost mood, and enhance physical performance.

The Power of Coconut Oil and MCT

Coconut Oil:
Extracted from the meat of mature coconuts, coconut oil is rich in healthy fats, particularly lauric acid. It has been touted for its numerous health benefits, including improved cholesterol levels, antimicrobial properties, and a quick source of energy.

MCT Oil: MCT oil is derived from coconut oil and palm kernel oil, consisting mainly of medium-chain triglycerides. These fats are digested quickly, making them an efficient energy source. MCT oil is known for its ability to improve mental clarity, support weight loss, and enhance athletic performance.

Why Add Coconut Oil or MCT to Brewsh Coffee?

Enhanced Nutrient Absorption
One of the primary benefits of adding coconut oil or MCT oil to Brewsh coffee is the improved absorption of nutrients. Many vitamins and minerals are fat-soluble, meaning they require fat to be absorbed effectively by the body. By introducing healthy fats into your coffee, you enhance the bioavailability of these nutrients, ensuring your body gets the most out of every cup.

Sustained Energy Levels
While the caffeine in Brewsh coffee provides an immediate energy boost, combining it with MCT oil can offer more sustained energy. Unlike long-chain triglycerides found in most other fats, MCTs are quickly metabolized into ketones, which the body uses as a direct energy source. This results in a steady release of energy, preventing the typical caffeine crash that often follows a cup of coffee.

Improved Cognitive Function
Both Brewsh coffee and MCT oil have been linked to enhanced cognitive function. The antioxidants in coffee can protect the brain from oxidative stress, while the ketones produced from MCT oil serve as an efficient fuel source for the brain. Together, they can improve mental clarity, focus, and overall brain health.

Boosted Metabolism and Weight Management
MCT oil has been shown to increase metabolic rate, helping the body burn more calories throughout the day. When combined with the natural appetite-suppressing effects of coffee, this can support weight management efforts. Additionally, the lauric acid in coconut oil can help regulate hormones involved in hunger and satiety.

How to Make Your Perfect Brewsh Coffee with Coconut Oil or MCT (Performance Brewsh!)

Brew Your Coffee: Start with a fresh cup of Brewsh coffee, brewed to your preferred strength.
Add Coconut Oil or MCT Oil: Add one to two tablespoons of coconut oil or MCT oil to your coffee. If you’re new to these oils, start with a smaller amount to let your body adjust.
Blend It Up: Use a blender to mix your coffee and oil until it reaches a creamy consistency. This ensures the oil is well incorporated and prevents it from separating.
Enjoy: Pour your enhanced coffee into your favorite mug and enjoy the benefits of this powerful combination.

Conclusion
Incorporating coconut oil or MCT oil into your daily Brewsh coffee routine is a simple yet effective way to enhance nutrient absorption and maintain sustained energy levels. This powerful blend supports cognitive function, boosts metabolism, and can aid in weight management. So, why not elevate your coffee experience and supercharge your health with this delicious and beneficial combination? Cheers to a better brew!

Arabica Coffee is Superior to Robusta
Arabica beans are often considered the superior choice over Robusta beans.

Flavor Profile
Arabica beans are celebrated for their sweeter, fruitier taste, thanks to their higher sugar and acid content. They also contain more lipids (fats), which contribute to a smoother, mellower flavor. In contrast, Robusta beans have a stronger, more bitter taste, often described as earthy and dark.

Caffeine Content
While Robusta beans boast nearly double the caffeine content of Arabica, this higher caffeine level can contribute to a more bitter taste. For those who prefer a less intense flavor, Arabica is the way to go

Growing Conditions
Arabica plants thrive in subtropical or equatorial regions, at higher altitudes, and in cooler temperatures. These conditions make them less hardy but result in beans with more complex flavors. On the other hand, Robusta plants are more heat-tolerant and resistant to diseases and pests, making them easier to cultivate.

Price and Quality
Due to the more challenging growing conditions and the higher quality of the beans, Arabica coffee is generally more expensive and preferred by specialty coffee companies and small-batch roasters. The extra effort and cost are worth it for the superior flavor and complexity that Arabica beans offer.

Overall, Arabica coffee is favored for its superior flavor and complexity, making it a popular choice among coffee enthusiasts. Whether you’re a casual coffee drinker or a connoisseur, Arabica beans are sure to provide a delightful coffee experience.

No Brewsh... No Problem. Lion's Mane Mushroom Supplements.

During the course of the cohort, Brewsh has learned that cost has been a factor in joining and, at times, continuing the cohort. Our cohorts are designed to measure a specific time in order to repeat again or continue. Understanding the financial aspect of maintaining a better lifestyle, we recommend taking one capsule of 500mg Lion’s Mane supplement with your choice of coffee in the morning and one capsule after lunch. This regimen will be your go-to solution for cognitive wellness. Lion’s Mane is a potent nootropic that can help sharpen your mental clarity, improve memory, and support long-term brain health.

What is Lion’s Mane?
Lion’s Mane (Hericium erinaceus) is a unique mushroom with long, white, flowing spines that resemble a lion's mane. Traditionally used in Chinese medicine, it has gained widespread popularity in modern wellness for its ability to enhance cognitive function, promote nerve regeneration, and protect brain cells from damage.

The Benefits of Lion’s Mane supplements with your choice of Coffee:

Cognitive Enhancement and Focus
Lion’s Mane is best known for its ability to support neurogenesis, the process of creating new neurons in the brain. This helps improve memory, focus, and overall mental clarity. When combined with the natural caffeine in coffee, which already enhances alertness, Lion’s Mane helps sustain that clarity without the crash often associated with caffeine. The result is a long-lasting, smooth mental boost ideal for tackling work, studies, or creative projects.
Mood Stabilization and Stress Reduction
Adaptogenic properties of Lion's Mane also make it a great tool for reducing anxiety and balancing mood. Pairing it with coffee, which includes calming ingredients like Chaga mushrooms, can help you stay alert without feeling overstimulated or anxious. This combo creates a balanced, productive mindset, keeping stress at bay throughout the day.
Brain Health and Longevity
Lion’s Mane is rich in bioactive compounds that have neuroprotective effects, which help shield brain cells from oxidative stress and inflammation. Regular consumption of Lion's Mane supplements with coffee can support long-term brain health, potentially reducing the risk of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
Sustained Energy Without the Crash
Coffee provides an immediate energy boost, but sometimes that comes with an inevitable crash. Lion’s Mane helps smooth out the effects of caffeine, offering a more sustainable, steady energy flow. This combination keeps you feeling energized and focused without the post-coffee slump.
Enhanced Creativity and Problem-Solving
Because Lion's Mane stimulates brain function, it’s an ideal supplement for those looking to boost creativity and problem-solving abilities. Whether you’re brainstorming new ideas or solving complex tasks, adding Lion's Mane to your coffee routine can give your mind the extra boost it needs.

Adding Lion’s Mane mushroom supplements to coffee has shown to enhance cognitive function, support brain health, and sustain energy levels throughout the day. Whether you’re looking to improve focus, boost creativity, or protect long-term brain health, this dynamic duo offers a powerful, effective solution.

Reflecting on the 16th and Final Week of Our Brewsh Cohort

As we reach the 16th and final week of our Brewsh Cognition Wellness cohort, it’s time to reflect on our journey and the experiences we’ve shared. This cohort has been more than just a series of weeks; it has been a transformative experience that has brought us closer to understanding our cognitive wellness. From the initial excitement and curiosity to the gradual development of new habits and routines, we’ve all embarked on a unique path of discovery. We’ve experimented with different brewing methods, explored the benefits of various ingredients, and integrated mindfulness practices into our daily lives. Now, as we stand at the culmination of this journey, it’s essential to look back at where we started, celebrate our progress, and think about how we can continue to nurture our cognitive health moving forward. Let’s take a moment to sum it all up and consider how far we’ve come, and how we can carry these lessons into the future.

Before the Cohort
Before starting this cohort, many of us felt a mix of excitement and uncertainty. We were eager to explore the potential benefits of Brewsh and enhance our cognitive wellness, but we weren’t sure what to expect. The anticipation of trying something new and the hope of achieving better mental clarity and focus were strong motivators. Some of us were looking for a way to boost our productivity, while others were seeking a natural method to improve our overall mental health. The idea of joining a community of like-minded individuals who shared similar goals was also a significant draw.

Brewing Preferences
Throughout the cohort, we each developed our own preferred methods of brewing our cup of Brewsh. Some of us enjoyed a simple, classic brew, savoring the rich, robust flavor of Brewsh on its own. Others experimented with different ingredients and techniques to find the perfect cup. Whether it was using a French press, a pour-over method, or even a cold brew, we discovered the versatility of Brewsh and how it could be tailored to our individual tastes. Some participants found joy in the ritual of brewing their coffee, taking the time to appreciate the process and the aroma that filled their kitchens each morning.

Serving Size Impact
One of the key aspects we explored was the impact of serving size. Many of us noticed a significant difference when we had two servings of Brewsh each day instead of just one. The increased energy and focus were evident, and it became a vital part of our daily routine. The second serving often provided a much-needed boost in the afternoon, helping us stay productive and alert throughout the day. This adjustment in serving size allowed us to better manage our energy levels and maintain a consistent state of mental clarity.

Adding Turmeric or Cinnamon
Adding turmeric or cinnamon to our Brewsh was another experiment we tried. The warm, spicy flavors not only enhanced the taste but also provided additional health benefits. Turmeric, known for its anti-inflammatory properties, and cinnamon, with its antioxidant benefits, added a new dimension to our Brewsh experience. Some of us felt a noticeable difference in our overall well-being when incorporating these spices, reporting reduced inflammation and improved digestion. The subtle changes in flavor also made our daily cup of Brewsh more enjoyable and something to look forward to.

MCT Oil Addition
MCT oil was another popular addition to our Brewsh. The creamy texture and added energy boost were well-received by many. MCT oil, derived from coconut oil, is known for its ability to provide quick energy and support brain function. It became a favorite for those looking to enhance their cognitive function and maintain steady energy levels throughout the day. The combination of Brewsh and MCT oil created a powerful synergy that many of us came to rely on. This addition not only improved our mental performance but also helped us feel more satiated and focused.

Memory Test Results
Tracking our memory test results was an essential part of the cohort. Reviewing our progress, many of us saw improvements in our cognitive abilities, which was a testament to the effectiveness of the Brewsh regimen. The regular consumption of Brewsh, combined with the other wellness practices we adopted, contributed to better memory retention, quicker recall, and overall mental sharpness. These improvements were not just numbers on a test but tangible benefits that we experienced in our daily lives, such as remembering important details, staying organized, and thinking more clearly.

Mindfulness and Meditation
Incorporating mindfulness and meditation into our daily routine was a transformative experience for many. The practice helped us stay grounded, reduce stress, and improve our overall mental health. Many of us plan to continue these practices beyond the cohort. The combination of Brewsh and mindfulness created a holistic approach to cognitive wellness, allowing us to achieve a balanced state of mind and body. The moments of stillness and reflection became a cherished part of our day, helping us to navigate challenges with greater ease and resilience.

New Skills Learned
Throughout the cohort, we also had the opportunity to learn new skills. Whether it was mastering a new brewing technique, understanding the benefits of different ingredients, or improving our mindfulness practices, we all gained valuable knowledge and experience. Some of us even explored new hobbies or interests that complemented our wellness journey, such as yoga, journaling, or creative arts. These new skills not only enriched our lives but also provided us with additional tools to support our cognitive health and overall well-being.

Moving Forward
As we conclude this 16-week journey, it’s essential to think about how we plan to continue our lives after the cohort. The habits and practices we’ve developed, the knowledge we’ve gained, and the improvements we’ve seen in our cognitive wellness will guide us as we move forward. Many of us have set new goals and intentions for maintaining our cognitive health, whether it’s continuing with our Brewsh routine, practicing mindfulness, or exploring new wellness strategies. The sense of community and support we’ve built during this cohort will also be a valuable resource as we continue our wellness journey.

Thank you for being a part of this incredible journey with Brewsh. Let’s continue to prioritize our cognitive wellness and enjoy the benefits of a well-brewed cup of Brewsh every day. Cheers to a healthier, more mindful future!
