We again shine a spotlight on one of the startups from our community and that company is HID SIPS, which is on a mission to make sure no one wakes up without water again. Designing products with accessibility in mind, HID SIPS is making the lives of those who struggle to get out of bed easier, including those with health conditions, snoring, taking medicine or simply having a dry mouth.

Lastly, we hear about adding mushrooms like Reishi, Lion's Mane, and a few others to morning drinks. Recently, we were contacted by Restorative Botanicals and offered a sample of their product, My BrainShroom. We’ve been trying out their gummies, which contain Lion's Mane and other substances that are supposed to help stimulate the brain and are supposed to aid in the growth of new brain cells, improve depression and anxiety, and support gut, heart, and immune health.
