This week we’re joined by special guest Kelly Miltner a pharmacist, herbalist, mountain biker, mom, and founder of Upper Valley Herbals for a thoughtful conversation about recovery, stress, energy, and supporting active bodies naturally.

Kelly shares how her background in pharmacy, herbal training, and mountain biking led to the creation of The Edge Theory™ and her line of herbal teas designed for athletes and busy humans alike.

We talk about:
 ✨ Why “baseline first, botanicals second” matters
 💧 Hydration, minerals, sleep, recovery & nervous system support
 ⚡ Stress, cortisol, caffeine, and the “borrowing from tomorrow” effect
 🌱 Adaptogens and where herbs actually fit into performance
 🚵‍♀️ Building strength and resilience without burning yourself out
