I'm all about routine here at Kyoto Botanicals, whether it's the daily dog walk, out getting some sun, or how you take our products every day. It's really important, I think, to build routine into your daily schedule so your body knows what's coming. And with our products, I like to focus on something that I call the sweet spot. So it's not necessarily taking exactly what it says on the package or what somebody else takes, really spending the time to find out what works best for you. So that doesn't necessarily mean the— just the amount you take. It can mean the form you take, like we talked about yesterday, or it can mean what time you take it or how much you take. So what I always like to tell people to do is start low. So take what's suggested on the bottle, maybe cut it in half to start Try that at a consistent time every day for about a week. So whether you take it at night, take it in the morning, take it in the middle of the day, stick with it for about a week. If you're not seeing what you expected or hoped to see, you can go ahead and bump up how much you're taking to what is recommended. So give that a try for another week. If that doesn't work, bump it up by 50% again for another week. So you're really, really taking your time using the entire product of the course of say 4, 5, 6 weeks to really dial in what works for you. Different day parts too is a good idea. See if you take it at night for a couple weeks and that's not doing what you expected it to do, go ahead and switch it to morning or split your amount you're taking in a day, half in the morning, half at night, and find out what works best for you. For me, since the beginning. It's always been at night, so it's part of my, my bedtime routine with my magnesium, with my multivitamin, you know, right before I brush my teeth, right before I get in bed to read. And that's just part of my routine that signals to my body, that helps signal calm and sleep. But other people find different things work. So that's, that's kind of my suggestion today, is to just Play around with it. I always recommend people be consistent and give each product the full amount. So, you know, if you buy a jar of gummies, take all the gummies over the course of 4, 5, 6 weeks, like I said, before you decide if you should try a different form or try a different day or give up entirely. So that's it for today. Tune in again tomorrow for a little more routine building.
