Castle Manor Inn, The Causeway, Chez Moi Chez Vous, The Lobster of Gloucester, Oak To Ember, Saltwater Grille, Machaca, Minglewood Harborside, Richie Baressi, Seaport Grille all rose up and came with great energy and fantastic fish chowder! If you care about community, please consider patronizing these restaurants!!!!

Congratulations to Chef Dan Lavalla from Castle Manor Inn for the win. For the record Chef Dan has won back to back, first in the Essex Clam Chowder competition and now the St Peter’s Club Fish Chowder competition! The votes were so tight that 1 vote separated first second and third with everyone else just votes away from 4, 5, 6 and 7th place.

In second place by 1 vote was local legends Peter Zappa at The Causeway followed by Meatball Challenge Grand Champion Richie Baressi representing The Crow’s Nest!

Huge thanks to Pat and Jimmy Dalpiaz who were behind the scenes every step of the way. Thanks To Anthony Saputo and Marco Numerosi, Billy Shields and his wife Nancy who did a great job keeping the competition running smoothly! Last but not least the bartenders at the club that kept the drinks flowing with a smile.

FYI the club is open to new memberships. You do not have to be Italian, you do not have to be from Gloucester. It’s a great newly renovated club that offers members an inexpensive place to hold parties and gather to make memories!

The egrets have begun to return, another sigh of spring! This one looked particularly regal.

Benefits of Shilajit and CBD for Focus and Energy

“Broad-Spectrum CBD combined with powerful nootropics like Alpha GPC and adaptogens such as Shilajit Extract work together to enhance mental clarity and cognitive support. This formula promotes sustained focus and emotional balance without the crashes or jitters often associated with other solutions.”*

Kimberly Langdon, MD

On days when you don’t feel like getting anything done, an energy boost could help.

While most people turn to energy drinks and coffee, there are natural ways to boost energy and focus. Supplements like Shilajit and CBD are becoming popular for supporting mental clarity and physical vitality.

Shilajit, a mineral-rich resin, and CBD, a compound from hemp, can enhance daily performance and boost productivity. As such, including them in your routine aligns well with your long-term health goals.

But, there’s more…
Shilajit improves ATP production and endurance, while CBD helps balance neurotransmitters like serotonin and cortisol.

Combining Shilajit and CBD offers synergistic benefits by enhancing physical vitality and mental clarity.

R&R CBD offers a variety of products, including tinctures, softgels, and gummies, tailored for focus, energy, and stress management.

For best results, use these supplements consistently and pair them with healthy habits like proper nutrition and sleep.

Natural Energy Enhancement Explained
Natural energy boosters work with your body’s systems to promote sustained focus and stamina. Unlike synthetic stimulants that may cause rapid spikes and crashes, natural options provide long-lasting support for energy and mental clarity.

They address underlying factors like stress, nutrient absorption, and cellular health, offering a more balanced approach to maintaining productivity.

Benefits of Natural Supplements
Natural supplements don’t contain synthetic additives, which reduces the risk of unwanted side effects.

They help maintain consistent energy levels, avoiding the highs and lows linked to quick-fix stimulants.

Using them long-term supports overall health by focusing on foundational elements like cellular function and stress response.

What Makes Shilajit Special?
Shilajit is a natural resin formed over centuries as plant and microbial matter decomposes in high-altitude rock formations, particularly in the Himalayas.

With a storied tradition in Ayurvedic medicine, this substance is valued for its rejuvenating properties. Often referred to as the “destroyer of weakness,” it has been used for centuries to boost vitality and fight fatigue and remains a much sought-after go-to for enhancing overall well-being.

Components of Shilajit
The main ingredients in Shilajit are:

Fulvic Acid: This bioactive compound aids cellular energy production by boosting nutrient absorption and detoxifying cells.

Minerals: With over 85 trace minerals like magnesium, calcium, and zinc, Shilajit contributes to energy metabolism and nerve function, supporting overall physical performance.

Dibenzo-α-pyrones: These compounds preserve mitochondrial energy and reduce oxidative stress, thereby supporting endurance and recovery.

Scientific Backing for Shilajit’s Benefits
Studies have examined Shilajit’s impact on energy and stamina with promising results. Research published in the International Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease highlights fulvic acid as an antioxidant that shields cellular structures from free radical damage.

Other studies underscore its role in enhancing mitochondrial function and improving ATP production—the body’s primary energy source. Another study in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology pointed out that regular supplementation with Shilajit could diminish fatigue and bolster physical performance in active individuals.

CBD: Nature’s Focus Enhancer
CBD, a non-psychoactive compound from hemp, is known for its ability to support mental clarity and calmness. It interacts with the body’s natural systems to promote balance, making it helpful in managing stress and maintaining focus. Many people use CBD to help reduce distractions and foster sustained cognitive performance.

How CBD Works with Your Body
CBD interacts with the endocannabinoid system (ECS) to help keep the body balanced, promoting a sense of calm and alertness. The ECS is a neuromodulatory system that regulates various physiological and biological functions in the mammalian body.

Typically, the ECS does its job with stimulation from endogenous cannabinoids (endocannabinoids) like anandamide and 2-arachidonoyl glycerol. However, it can also be stimulated by phytocannabinoids like CBD.

In particular, CBD activates serotonin receptors that support mood and reduce anxiety. This enhances mental clarity and improves focus, especially during high-pressure situations.

CBD also helps modulate cortisol levels, alleviating stress that can disrupt focus and energy. Lower cortisol levels lead to a calmer state of mind, improving concentration and productivity.

The Synergistic Effects of Combining Shilajit and CBD
Shilajit and CBD make a great team because they focus on different but complementary systems in the body. Shilajit boosts cellular energy and nutrient absorption, while CBD helps manage stress and boosts mental clarity. Together, they offer a balanced way to enhance focus and maintain energy without causing overstimulation.

Enhanced Focus Benefits
Boosts cognitive clarity by minimizing distractions related to stress

Aids memory retention and sustained concentration

Reduces mental fatigue, leading to better decision-making and problem-solving

Sustained Energy Benefits
Helps you feel more energetic throughout the day

Fights off mid-day energy slumps

Supports natural recovery from both physical and mental exertion
