Key Points

- Adaptogens, such as medicinal mushrooms, help balance the body's stress response, providing sustained energy and mental clarity without the crash associated with caffeine.
- Building a supportive community and engaging in activities that promote mental and physical well-being are crucial for veterans transitioning to civilian life and managing chronic conditions.
