MOOP's Take

Daily ashwagandha blunts libido and dopamine drive over time. It's a powerful adaptogen — which means it can down-regulate the systems it's supposed to support if you don't cycle it. I use ashwagandha situationally (PM on high-stress days, 3-5x/week max), but I took it off my daily stack.

⚠️ Why I Don't Recommend This

Daily use blunts libido and dopamine drive. Use situationally only (high-stress PM use, 3–5x/week max). See Ashwagandha KSM-66 entry for the right protocol.

💪 Coach Arnie

This is one of the most common mistakes I see: people take a supplement that works, assume more is better, and end up with blunted drive. Cycle everything.

🩺 Doc Hartley

Anecdotal + physiologically plausible mechanism: prolonged cortisol suppression may reduce HPA axis responsiveness. The dopamine-blunting reports are consistent enough across user experience to take seriously. Use situationally.
