We’re pleased to announce the launch of BurnOut Brew - a powerful new collaboration between MyGemBox and Tea of Life, unveiled at the upcoming Becoming Whole: An Immersive Experience for Human Transformation with Zach Bush MD, taking place 26–27 July 2025 at Spier Wine Farm.
This immersive gathering is devoted to regenerative healing and reconnection, making it the perfect moment to introduce a formulation that speaks directly to the heart of recovery and vitality.
What is Burnout Brew?
BurnOut Brew is a handcrafted adaptogenic tonik - formulated to help recalibrate the nervous system, support adrenal function, and restore the body’s core vitality. Inspired by both African and Eastern medicinal systems, it bridges ancient plant wisdom with modern-day need.
It is especially suited for those moving through chronic fatigue, overwhelm, nervous system burnout, or simply seeking to build deeper internal resilience.
Key Benefits
BurnOut Brew works synergistically to:
-
Support adrenal and nervous system health
-
Encourage calm, clarity, and emotional grounding
-
Enhance immune resilience
-
Improve mental stamina and cognitive clarity
-
Promote deep rest and quality sleep
It supports the body's innate intelligence - working gently over time to strengthen core energy reserves, also known as Jing in Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Nature's Composition
Formulated with no preservatives and brewed in small batches, BurnOut Brew features:
Wild African Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum)
Known as “the mushroom of immortality,” Reishi is revered for its immune-modulating, adaptogenic, and Jing-restorative properties. Sustainably wild-harvested in South Africa.
Turkey Tail (Trametes versicolor)
Rich in polysaccharides and used traditionally to build immune strength, especially post-viral or during recovery.
Cinnabar Polypore (Pycnoporus cinnabarinus)
An antioxidant-rich, lesser-known mushroom with neuroprotective potential.
Ancient Reishi / Artist’s Conk (Ganoderma applanatum)
A grounding tonic mushroom long used to support longevity, liver health, and energetic stability.
Chaga
Deeply mineralizing and anti-inflammatory, Chaga is celebrated for its cellular protection and adaptogenic power.
Mucuna
Naturally rich in L-DOPA, it supports mood, dopamine levels, and hormonal balance.
Ashwagandha
A foundational adaptogen for stress resilience, thyroid regulation, and emotional balance.
Gokshura (Tribulus terrestris)
Used in Ayurveda to support the reproductive system, urinary tract health, and overall vitality.
Shilajit
A mineral-rich resin that enhances nutrient absorption, mitochondrial energy, and stamina.
Goji Berries & Vanilla
Added for flavor, mood support, and antioxidant benefit.
Licorice Root
Included in small amounts to harmonize the formula, support adrenal function, and soothe inflammation.
How to Use
-
Drink warm or chilled
-
Add to hot water as a tonic tea
-
Blend with mylk or natural sweetener to taste
-
Use as a daily extract (25ml serving)
Once opened, keep refrigerated and consume within 4–7 days.
This is a seasonal, limited-release offering, best used mindfully and in moderation, with pauses between regular use to avoid over-stimulation of the endocrine system.
The Story Behind the Brew
This formulation was born of lived experience - witnessing how many are navigating fatigue, hormonal depletion, nervous system dysregulation, and a general sense of disconnection. Rather than pushing through, BurnOut Brew offers a gentle pause - a way to nourish the body deeply, rebuild reserves, and return to one’s essential self.
It’s part of our broader vision to help restore relationships between people, mushrooms and plants, the body and nature, medicine and ritual.
