Stress is oftentimes all we know as humans.

Many people are in a constant state of stress and their body is so used to it, they don’t even know what it’s like to be in a state of balance.

Stress can be created in your home environment, your career, past traumas, an imbalance in the body, and countless other sources. Tune in to learn how you can reduce stress, eliminate brain fog, and bring your body and mind back to balance - all by eating pancakes!

Ryan Seaman and Brian Murphy are the Co-Founders of Living Prana, a company pioneering functional foods and building a nutritional pyramid on three fundamental tenets: Food as Medicine, Body as Temple, and Earth as Essential. They’re on a mission to make this world a better place, one pancake at a time.

Powerful Quotes by Brian and Ryan

Chaga - that’s another one that, for me, having used it for a number of years now, I’m on the edge of 50 years old now and I still feel like I’m 25.

It’s a conscious way of doing business. It’s a new paradigm… transparency [and] sustainability are two really important pillars for us.

What is necessary now is functional medicine, functional food. It’s such a relevant factor in where we are in our evolutionary process and so, we’re just super stoked to be part of the movement.
