Ashwagandha is a very powerful supplement that has many great benefits when it comes to helping with anxiety and stress management overall. In this video, we will look at it from my experience with almost 2 years of using it.
What are all its benefits, especially the benefits of ashwagandha for men, what are the downsides and how should you use it safely? I will answer all these questions today.
Ashwagandha is an adaptogen that has been helping people since hundreds of years to combat stress problems around the world, now it's coming back strong with a new popularity since it appeared on the Andrew Huberman podcast.

Lost my wife last year to Cancer. I had depression, anxiety,stress,sadness This herb has helped me in so many ways to feel normal.
I’m glad this helped you to get through tough times. Keep your head up you’re doing good brother
Take care of yourself
I work in a high stress, low reward, low pay, and short staffed industry; ashwaganda has been a game changer. In this modern world, ashwaganda has made me much more poised and stoic, way less emotional.
Yes it’s great to ease anxiety quickly
Many great useful things have been said in this video
thanks mate
Glad you found it valuable brother 💪🏼
worked subtly for me and helped me quit drinking
Good job on quitting man how you’ll keep heading this way 💪🏼
Thanks for your words in the beginning, that really helped my mindset. I really felt bad that I wasn't able to deal with the cause of my stress etc. I thought I shouldn't take anything and just change my situation, but my head is just to overwhelmed and depressed and I have zero energy. So I will try ashwagandha to be more focused to change my situation.
It’s a great tool to help you be more clear minded about your situation and it can really help you treat the cause of the issue. Keep it up 💪🏼
By the way brother, by reading your comment I can really see my younger self from a few years ago. If you ever want to jump on a call with me let me know I'm sure I could teach you important things that I learned over the years.
I have had a lot of very negative stress, trauma, sorrow over the last 3 years that caused a state of depression and high anxiety. I started taking ashwaganda for about a month with some other stuff, mainly antioxidants and vitamins and noticed that i actually felt pretty good. Then i stopped ashwaganda because of fear of side effects. Went straight back into crippling anxiety after a few weeks. Now back on ashwaganda and the anxiety is almost completely gone again. I have energy and drive to do stuff again. I can say for sure that it has effect on me.
Should we take ashwagandha for lifetime? To get off from anxiety?
Good that it’s helping you brother ! As long as you take small breaks from time to time there’s no problem taking it long term
Ashwagandha is great to immediately feel better but remember it doesn’t treat the cause of the anxiety !
Thanks, i have been suffering from social anxiety my entire life.
So far couldnt break the cycle of anxiety.
I have never taken medication, but i will try Ashwa...
Hey man hopefully this can help you get better 💪🏼
As someone who suffered from severe anxiety I now teach young guys to beat it so let me know if that would interest you !
Bro, i tried it two hours ago and i am very happy, social and enjoying ...thanks man
Happy for you my brother do not hesitate to contact me if you ever feel like it 💪🏼
Very good points about not relying on this, but using it as a stress tool. 👏
Yes it’s super important to understand that this isn’t a permanent fix but a way to help you work on stress management.
@@Alexis.Nussbaum 😌✊️
Try doing the wim hof method too. My panic attacks stopped completely. Still going to try ashwagandha tho, thanks for your report about it
I heard a lot of good things about it too. Deep breathing overall is great for anxiety
I’m thinking about trying this, just concerned about long term side effects. I was on an SSRI for 5 years, but my doctor recently made me quit because we think it’s lowering my white blood count too much. It’s only been a month since I stopped, so I’m slowly improving, but if I’m not where I want to be again by mid September I may give this a try.
As long as you don’t use it 100% of the time you’re good to go
@@Alexis.Nussbaum From my understanding, sort of like an ssri, you need to take ashwaganda for up to a month for it to be effective. Do you mean take it a few months, then stop for a few weeks at a time, or take it every other day?
Nice review. Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Good video buddy. Keep making vids!
Thanks man glad you enjoyed it !
Hey, I came across your comment again! If you want we could jump on a call sometimes to speak about anxiety, stress, and things like mental health because I coach people to get better with it!
@Alexis.What.Matters Sounds good. How do I reach you to work out the details?
Hey man sorry I didn't see your answer ! You can book a call with me with Calendly by usign this link: calendly.com/alexisnussbaum/coaching_fit_call
But sometimes the cause of stress is perspective and ashwaghanda can assist and adjusting ur mind
This is true it's a good help to start solving the main issue. Did you ever take Ashwagandha ?
Can I take it as a teen(14) I have severe stress and anxiety and want to take it but people say it will ruin my hormones because I’m still growing.
It will affect your hormones but positively, it helps with testosterone by reducing cortisol (the stress hormone). As a teen I see it as even more beneficial. Btw if your struggle a lot with anxiety and you don't want to take ashwagandha I coach guys to manage it themselves so let me know.
Really interesting information thanks. I just started taking it a few days ago.
Good to hear bro let us know how it felt after some time !
Hey bro! So what's the verdict? Did it help you manage stress and anxiety?
Just took it and ion feel nothing besides a little calm
Well I guess that's why we take it. What dose did you take and are you someone with high levels of anxiety ?
Theres talk that ashwaganda can make u feel numb. Is that true?
If so, how do u circumvent that effect. I prefer to feel grounded not numb.😮
How does it compare to rhiodiola?
Hey thanks for your question ! I made a video on ashwagandha’s side effects and how to take it without getting this numbing effect. And unfortunately I have never used rhiodiola so I couldn’t tell you
I’m 14 years old, can I take ashwagandha to relieve stress and boost my exercise performance?
Yes as long as you use ashwagandha not over the long term and do breaks from time to time and also work on your stress with other ways too like meditation, journaling, nature and sports
Hey man, great video. Is there a particular brand you take?
I use the Ashwagandha from the brand Bulk but as long as the only ingredient is Aswagandha you’re good to go
Says he felt like a kid when he first took it, processeds to say he didn't feel like this since in 6 months. How old are you?
7 months old that might explain it x).
But for real the first time using it was a really strong experience, nothing crazy just a huge sense of relieve.
While im watching the video i have the need to say that you look really good, now i have a question: i realise that after 2 weeks of taking it my sweat started smelling really bad, is it because of ashwagandha?
Hey, thanks for the compliment first of all! I never had this issue myself so I guess you'll have to try to experiment it and see if it comes back when you are taking it.
Take it when you mad, depressed, nervous, anxious only.
Very true thanks man
Thanks for the information 👍
How about taking it a week on and a week off?
Hey bro I guess that could work but stay aware of the side effects and if you start to experience anything try to space it more
I’m thinking of trying ashwaganda
If you're interested in this you should give it a try for sure. Make sur to keep a log to be certain you don't get any side effects.
Makes you too relaxed for the gym..
@@williammolina9792 I'd say it depends if you struggle to focus 100% at the gym this can actually help you get better workouts in. Personally haven't seen a difference in performances but it should help with your VO2 max (cardio)
you can take it also in the mornigs or? thanks for the reply
Yes I mostly take it in the morning when I know I will get a stressful day
@@Alexis.Nussbaum oke! and its still helpful if you take it sometimes? its not necessary to take it for longer time for it starts to working? and do you know how long aschwachanda works?
Yeah it’s actually better if you just take it from time to time. You’ll know when it’s working because you’ll feel it and it last for quiet a long time
People always looks tired and feel like they’re in slow motion, everytime I see them doing these types of videos
If you say so, bro. I like to have a pretty unedited and authentic kind of content so sorry if it's not jumping around every second. I don't want to attract people like this.
@@Alexis.Nussbaum that’s not what I’m talking about. I don’t care about the quality of the videos I’m talking about the people themselves. Their eyes get somewhat redder and they seem almost zombified while taking
Do you take it once or twice a day? Also what time do you take it?
Just once but not everyday. And it depends when, if you know you’re going to have a stressful day then take it in the morning or if you want to sleep well, take it 2 hours before bed
Do you have any study for your claim, that it increases your cortisol Level after 1 month?
Hey I don't remember where I got that from. Pretty sure it's on the Huberman Podcast but I'd struggle to say which one
It should be the other way. Cortisol causes stress
@@timostegemann9738 It does reduce cortisol at first but a long exposure to ashwagandha non-stop will at some point spike it back up that's what I meant
Huberman is that the guy that tells people to take fedogia with NON human studys 😂😂😂
Dang why did I buy this. I already have very little stress. Should have bought Rhodiola rosea instead.. I wanted more mental clarity and sharpness. E
I guess you can keep it for situations where you know you’ll be stressed. I don’t have my experience with Rhodila so I really couldn’t help
Thank you.
Glad this helped
And by the way, if you need more ways to be stressed and anxiety I can teach you much more in person in my coaching calls.
@@Alexis.Nussbaum I need more ways to be stressed and have anxiety, can you help?
@@HairyAngus Hahah I just realized what I wrote x)
What dose did u take at first?
Hey I always take 500mg per day. I'd say as long as you're under 1000mg your good to go.
What brand is the Ashwghanda you are using please?
Hey bro I bought mine on the website Bulk. There pretty cheap with good quality ingredients
@@Alexis.Nussbaum Thank you
No problem man hope that helped
Hey Lewis! Did you try Ashwagandha? If you want to speak about stress and anxiety management together we could jump on a call together let me know!
What should I take during the off cycle as a substitute? What is your daily dosage?
I’d say nothing. Let your body work normally you don’t want it to lose the ability to manage stress by itself. I take 500mg but not regularity. Hope that helps !
@@Alexis.Nussbaum Thank you really helpful
Hey bro, I saw your comment again. If you struggle with stress I can teach you many ways to remove it and reduce anxiety. If you want we can hop on a call about it. Let me know !
Your a very kind man
@@Alexis.Nussbaum Very considerate. Thank you. I am fine but I appreciate your offer.
can i take it like 3 days a week mwf
Yes you can but after that you probably should go a break
It makes me really tired
if you are a chill person before taking it, that might happen- Try taking it in the evening rather than in the morning. And by the way if you want to find other ways to remove stress form your life, I coach people to do so, if you want we can jump on a call.
Beware of long lasting anhedonia
That’s the main issue with ashwagandha which is why I don’t recommend taking for more than 3 weeks in a row if possible
Took it a month ,did nothing at all.
Hey I guess some people are more responsive than others just like with any substance. If you still struggle to reduce stress and anxiety let me know so that I can help you in other ways!
@@Alexis.Nussbaum many thanks
🙏🙏🙏☀️
Glad you enjoyed 💪🏼
