In the course of Mike Acker’s work, many clients ask, “Is there something I can take to help with my nervousness?” Because he isn’t a physician or psychiatrist, he steered clear of offering any medical or psychological advice but decided to do his research on natural supplements that provide specific benefits for today’s professionals.
“I thought back to 2016,” said Mike, “when I was leading a large non-profit, facing a major transition, and navigating multiple challenges. For the first time in my life, the stress became overwhelming, and I experienced a panic attack. Fortunately, it was an isolated event, and I didn’t need psychiatric care or prescription drugs. I just wanted something natural to take off the edge so I could focus on my work.”
Mike’s yearlong research brought him foremost to ashwagandha, also known as “Indian Ginseng.” In double-blind, placebo-controlled studies, it has been shown to reduce cortisol and anxiety levels, as well as offering many other health benefits. Seeing an opportunity to develop an herbal supplement tailored to his clients, he partnered with one of America’s top labs to develop Pure Calm Plus.
