Short video transcript excerpt advising broad use of supplements L-Theanine and Ashwagandha for calming and energy balance; speaker claims L-Theanine is benign with no known toxicity or side effects and suitable even for children, and that Ashwagandha is both calming and energizing with influences on thyroid and sex hormones.

Everybody gets L Theanine. I feel like it should be in the water. It's benign. There's no upper limit of toxicity. There's no known side effects that I'm aware of, so I'm just giving it to everybody. It's even great in kids. So L Theanine, because it's calming and most people need the calming. Ashwagandha is great because it's calming and energizing, so it can do both. And it also has some influence on other hormonal aspects. Thyroid, sex hormones, etc. Very old school.
