April is Stress Awareness Month—a time to prioritize calm, clarity, and connection.
80% of Americans say stress impacts their physical health.*
That is WAY too big a number. Let’s stop glamorizing burnout. Let’s start glamorizing boundaries, brain care, and beverages that actually help.

In a world that’s always “on,” stress can sneak into our systems in ways we barely notice—until the tension, the fog, the overwhelm settles in. That’s why April, officially Stress Awareness Month, is a gentle reminder to slow down, breathe deeper, and return to rituals that restore us.
Enter Lightwave–our portal to peace - a functional drink that quiets the noise.
Our holy trifecta of Reishi mushroom, L-Theanine, and L-Tryptophan grounds the nervous system and softens stress from the inside out.
Reishi, the “queen of mushrooms,” has been shown to modulate cortisol levels and support the body’s stress response—promoting a sense of calm resilience over time.¹
L-Theanine, found in green tea, increases alpha brain waves linked to relaxation and focus, without drowsiness.²
L-Tryptophan, an essential amino acid, supports serotonin production—helping stabilize mood and promote a sense of emotional well-being.³
It’s the formula we reach for when we want to unwind without numbing out.
And as National Stress Awareness Day approaches on April 16th, we invite you to create more space for rituals that restore. One euphoric sip at a time.
To your calm,
Kin

I drink lightwave every night before bed! I have narcolepsy and sometimes it is tough to sleep at night, but lightwave really calms my nervous system. I usually take a bath and read while sipping on it!
