Running on Empty? Try This Daily Ritual for Focus, Calm, and Burnout Recovery

Running on Empty? Try This Daily Ritual for Focus, Calm, and Burnout Recovery

“Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes, including you.”

— Anne Lamott

Finding Balance with Mushrooms + Mindfulness

Burnout isn’t just a buzzword.  It’s something many of us live with daily. If you're feeling wired but exhausted, unfocused, or emotionally flat, you’re not alone.

At Wunderground, we’ve been working with functional mushrooms to create daily rituals that support mental clarity, calm, and energy. Our Craft Instant Mushroom Coffee and our Brain Wash Mushroom Superboost work hand in hand to help you throughout the day. 

 

Craft Instant Mushroom Coffee

Clearheaded energy, no crash.

Why we love it:

  • Lion’s Mane supports memory and clarity1

  • Cordyceps helps boost stamina and energy metabolism2

Skip the jitters. This is the kind of coffee that sharpens your focus, not your anxiety.

Mushroom Superboost

Added to any beverage, our superboost is a calming reset when you're running on empty.

What it’s great for:

  • Reishi may support mood and emotional balance3

  • Chaga is rich in antioxidants and helps fight oxidative stress4

  • Lion’s Mane again shows up here for neuroprotection1, protecting your brain cells from damage, aging, and stress.

This is for the deeper kind of burnout. The mental fog, the flatline days, the “please cancel everything” moments.

Why Mushrooms?

Functional mushrooms aren’t trends. They’re time-tested tools backed by modern science. The four mushrooms in all of Wunderground’s products, Lion’s Mane, Reishi, Cordyceps, and Chaga, can help:

  • Support focus and brain health1

  • Improve stamina and reduce fatigue2

  • Calm the nervous system3

  • Defend against stress at the cellular level4

You don’t have to hustle your way back to balance.  Sometimes all it takes is one mindful cup, and the right kind of mushrooms.
