I’m a busy person. My job is demanding, my days are long, and I've been on the edge of burnout for years.
I try to show up with a ton of energy when I’m customer-facing or on a zoom call, but underneath that carefully cultivated mask of productivity is a person who has been struggling with energy and focus.
Most days, I can’t even wake up fully without at least two cups of coffee. But while that sweet burst of caffeine-fueled energy helps me survive, it certainly doesn’t help me thrive—especially not when the jitters, the anxiety, and the inevitable 2 pm crash kick in.
Desperately seeking a middle ground between burnout and caffeine’s crazy side effects, I scrolled past an ad for MUD\WTR, a coffee alternative made of 100% organic cacao, ayurvedic herbs, and functional mushrooms. Apparently it’s great for energy and focus (and I was willing to try anything for that), but another potential benefit really caught my eye: supported mental clarity.
The true magic of mushrooms: energy without the crash
MUD\WTR promises the same energy boost as coffee, and improved mental function without the negative side effects that traditional coffee creates, like jitters, lost sleep, and the afternoon slump.
I picked up their Morning Ritual Starter Kit, which comes equipped with 30 servings of their signature cacao blend called :Rise, a USB rechargeable frother, as well as some stickers and samples of other products MUD\WTR offers.
The energy I get from this blend is perfect for me. A typical serving has much less caffeine than a cup of coffee—around 35-55mg vs. 90-100mg—so the increased focus feels more like a helpful boost than an onslaught of jittery energy. It’s also incredibly delicious, like a cup of cocoa and a chai latte all rolled into one. ☕️
When I start my day with MUD\WTR, I have zero jitters, no afternoon crash, and I sleep MUCH better now that I’m not loaded up on caffeine all day.
Heightened mental clarity throughout the day
What really fascinated me about MUD\WTR was the blend itself: an assortment of functional (non-psychedelic) mushrooms and herbs that can offer some unexpected health benefits.
One of the most prominent mushrooms in MUD\WTR is Lion’s Mane, a nootropic that’s been gaining popularity lately for its incredible effects on mental performance.
I had never experienced any sort of functional mushroom before, and let me tell you guys…this stuff is incredible. Lion’s Mane is something you have to experience to really understand how amazing it is.
After my morning MUD\WTR, I find it so easy to instantly dive into my work, no matter what the task is, and stay focused on it. The blend doesn’t stop there, more functional mushrooms have been added into it. Cordyceps helps keep your energy levels up throughout the day, and reishi supports a healthy immune system.
I love my morning 🍄
Since replacing my morning coffee with MUD\WTR, my productivity has shot through the roof. I’m having zero trouble staying awake all day, and I’m sleeping better than before. I’m absolutely thrilled that I found MUD\WTR.
If you’re looking to step up your morning routine, ditch the caffeine jitters, and hone your focus in a dynamic way, check out the Morning Ritual Starter Kit.
Right now, they’re offering it for $60, but you can subscribe and save for $29.
Talking about it so much has made me miss the great taste, so I’m off to make a cup of mud. Care to join me?
