In 2020, Savior Minaya noticed a change in his behavior. While he had previously been clinically diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) he found himself sometimes pacing around his room and acting more impulsively than before. The behavior worried him, as he sometimes bumped up against feelings of defeat. There were days when he felt like he couldn't get out of bed.
To alleviate these issues, he decided to make some lifestyle changes. He got sober. He bought a bike to get some exercise. He started prioritizing sleep. And then on Facebook he saw an acquaintance ask about anxiety relief, to which a commenter responded "ashwagandha."
