Why I Added Happy Saffron Plus to My Routine (and What My Metrics Reveal)


Over the past month, I’ve woven BrainMD’s Happy Saffron Plus into my morning stack—and let me tell you, the data don’t lie. This blend of affron® saffron extract, Longvida® curcumin, and zinc glycinate was designed to lift mood, dial down stress, and sharpen mental clarity. Here’s how it’s played out in my Welltory dashboard and daily life.




Why It Stood Out

  • Clinically Researched Doses: Three capsules deliver 30 mg of saffron (standardized for mood-boosting compounds), 400 mg of highly absorbable curcumin, and 20 mg of zinc in a gentle glycinate form.  I take TWO capsules.

  • Clean Formula: No gluten, dairy, corn, eggs, yeast, or artificial additives—so it slides right into a sensitive system without a fuss.

  • Synergy Bonus: I’ve been pairing it with my fish-oil supplement each evening, and that combo seems to amplify the calm focus throughout the next day.

How I Use It
Each morning between breakfast and my 22-minute walk, I pop two capsules with a glass of water. Then I fire up my Welltory check-in to track stress, energy, HRV, coherence, and sleep quality.

What My Metrics Showed

  • Stress: Fell from an average of 58 % down to 43 %—I’m rebounding faster after marathon OR days.

  • Energy: Climbed from 45 % up to 62 %—late-morning fog? Gone.

  • HRV: Rose from about 20 ms to 28 ms, signaling stronger autonomic balance.

  • Coherence: Jumped by roughly 12 points, so I stay centered under pressure.

  • Sleep Quality: Improved from 68 % to 74 %, thanks in part to saffron’s gentle support for restful nights.

Final Thoughts
I’ve tried a lot of mood-support supplements, but Happy Saffron Plus is the one that actually shifts the needle in real time. If you’re tracking your metrics and feel stuck on stress or low energy, this blend might be the boost your routine needs. I’m excited to see how months two and three stack up—but so far, it’s a clear win in my wellness toolbox.

  🔢  Glucose & Hypoglycemia Recap Today was another rollercoaster day in glucose management. I experienced  multiple confirmed hypoglycemic drops —the lowest reaching  53 mg/dL at 8:58 PM . Logged low glucose events: 2:58 AM — 63 mg/dL 2:23 PM — 63 mg/dL 8:00 PM — 64 mg/dL 8:27 PM — 54 mg/dL 8:58 PM — 53 mg/dL These episodes came despite balanced meals, suggesting  reactive hypoglycemia , possibly from timing mismatches between meals, digestion, and hormonal insulin response. I also did  not take Neuro Gum  today, which often helps buffer fatigue-related cognitive dips. ⌚  Apple Watch HRV Snapshot Earlier Reading (5:16 PM): Stress: 45% Energy: 77% Health: 100% Later Reading (9:02 PM): Stress: 93% Energy: 32% Health: 100% This confirms what I felt internally: I had  plenty of momentum early in the day , but stress and glucose dips by evening created a  major crash , which my body worked hard to bounce back from. 🧬 Apple Watch HRV Sn...

5-14-25 Stable Glucose, Shaky System: My Body’s Plot Twist Today

Image
 Last night I got decent sleep—over 6 hours—with a boost in deep and REM sleep that pushed my SleepWatch score to 448. While that was encouraging, I still woke up running on low battery. My morning HRV was just  34% , with  energy at 16% , and a  medium stress load (66%) . My  health resilience was maxed at 100% , but I could feel the disconnect between my body’s strength and my brain’s sluggishness. My glucose started off well at  105 mg/dL , holding steady for most of the day—until around 5:15 PM when I dropped to  62 mg/dL , triggering a hypoglycemia alert. I corrected it quickly, but it was a sharp dip and definitely contributed to the shakiness and low energy I’d been sensing. By  evening , my HRV cratered to just  5% , and my nervous system flipped into full  sympathetic dominance (53 SNS vs. 10 PSNS) . Stress hit  86% , and energy crept up only slightly to  21% . Focus dipped throughout the day as well, ending at a modes...

Digestion Doesn’t Have to Be a Mystery—Here’s What I Use to Stay Regular (and Burp-Free)

Image
 Let’s get real about a not-so-fun part of the GLP-1 journey:  digestive side effects . Tirzepatide has changed my life—but it's also changed my gut. I’ve been on it for nearly three years, and once I hit the higher doses (10 mg, now 12.5 mg), I noticed two very common but very unpleasant issues:  constipation  and  sulfur burps . I’ve managed both successfully with a combo I swear by. And today? I needed both. Here's why. What Are Sulfur Burps, and Why Do They Happen on Tirzepatide? If you’ve never experienced a sulfur burp, count yourself lucky. They taste and smell like rotten eggs, thanks to  hydrogen sulfide —a gas created when bacteria break down food in your digestive tract. Tirzepatide slows down gastric emptying, which is great for satiety and blood sugar control, but it also gives food more time to ferment… and when that happens? You get  the burps . It doesn’t happen every day for me—but when it does, it’s awful. I got hit with a strong one ...
