Say Yes to Rest: God’s Garden for Peace

Written by Dr. Paul Bernitt, Board-Certified Director of Holistic Health

Dear TriVita Member,

Let’s be honest. Life can feel overwhelming sometimes. Whether it’s a racing heart, restless nights, or that heavy feeling you just can’t shake, anxiety can make it hard to function—let alone feel joy.

If you’ve ever thought, “Why can’t I just feel normal again?” — you’re not alone.

Millions struggle with stress every day. But we’re not meant to merely cope—we’re meant to overcome it, with God’s help, natural solutions, and wisdom found in both Scripture and science.

“Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”

Matthew 11:28 (NKJV)

These words from Jesus speak directly to the weary, anxious soul—offering rest not just for the body, but for the mind. God designed your body with built-in healing systems and filled the earth with natural tools to support them. One of the most remarkable is a humble root called ashwagandha.

Ashwagandha KSM-66®: God’s Gift in Root Form

Used for thousands of years, ashwagandha is known to help the body stay calm during stress. But not all ashwagandha is the same. That’s why TriVita offers Ashwagandha KSM-66, the most researched form available, supported by over 50 human clinical trials. It’s made from only the root—never the stems or leaves—and provides the clinically studied 600 mg dose proven to:

• Lower cortisol (your main stress hormone)
• Reduce anxious thoughts
• Improve emotional balance
• Support deep, restful sleep

Chronic stress elevates cortisol, which contributes to anxiety, sleep problems, and brain fog. Studies show the extract in TriVita's Ashwagandha KSM-66 helps balance cortisol, reduce anxiety, promote calm, and increase resilience to stress.

If you’ve been running on adrenaline or stuck in fight-or-flight mode, this daily support may help you reset your body’s stress response and restore inner peace.

Other Simple, Science-Backed Ways to Feel Calmer

While Ashwagandha KSM-66 is powerful, it’s most effective when paired with complementary habits that naturally calm the mind and body. Here are four evidence-based ways to promote peace and reduce stress:

• Deep Breathing

Breathing slowly is one of the fastest ways to calm your nervous system. Try this:

• Inhale for 4 seconds
• Hold for 4 seconds
• Exhale for 6 seconds
• Repeat for 1–2 minutes

This technique lowers blood pressure, slows heart rate, and signals your body to relax.

• Daily Prayer or Devotion Time

Spend 10–15 minutes in prayer, journaling, or Scripture reading to anchor your mind in truth. Research shows that regular prayer correlates with less anxiety and better emotional well-being. TriVita Members can access WeCARE services—offering prayer requests, encouragement, and one-on-one sessions with licensed ministers at no cost. Call 1-800-991-7116 or visit TriVita.com/WeCARE.

• Gratitude

Practicing gratitude retrains your brain to focus on blessings over stress. Studies show people who list three things they’re grateful for each day experience less anxiety and better sleep.

Try journaling each night:

• 3 things that made you smile
• 2 people you’re thankful for
• 1 moment when you felt God’s presence

This habit shifts your mindset from overwhelm to peace.

• Light Movement

Walk outdoors or do light stretches. Movement increases dopamine and serotonin—your body’s natural mood lifters. You don’t need to sweat—just move your body to shift your state of mind.
