Dialed Moods: Your Daily Dose of Functional Mushrooms

Functional mushrooms have changed my life. Integrating them into my routine has made me more grounded, energized, and empathetic with the world around me. So when I was introduced to Dialed Moods, a groundbreaking energy drink that combines Kratom with a variety of non-psychedelic powerhouse mushrooms for a natural physical and cognitive boost, I was pressed to learn more.



I’m not a fan of energy drinks at all. I had my first and last dalliance with Rockstar when I was working as a grocery store cashier during a 10-hour Christmas Eve shift, when I experienced a 20-minute extremely-unnatural high that was followed by the shakes, sweats, and irreversible regret. 


However, Dialed Moods piqued my anti-energy drink interest because of its fascinating roots in ancient wellness—specifically Kratom, a tropical plant from Southeast Asia that has been used for centuries to naturally boost energy, focus, and mood. That’s how I ended up sitting down with Founder Ali Garawi to learn more about the people—and minds—behind such an intriguing brand. 


The birth of Dialed Moods

Inspired by a passionate team of entrepreneurs and athletes who felt equally forced to thrive under high-pressure conditions, Dialed Moods was their collective answer to the need for performance-enhancing supplements that don’t compromise health or longevity. 


“There was this desire to break free from conventional, synthetic supplements and provide natural wellness solutions and alternatives to health-detrimental prescription medication,” Garawi said. “We wanted to provide people with a way to fuel their performance naturally and enhance their lives.”


Thus Dialed Moods was born, based on a mission to streamline one’s path to wellbeing through carefully crafted herbal and mineral superfoods. 


“Our goal is to help you achieve your peak potential,” Garawi said. “Our slogan ‘Turn the dial’ speaks to our commitment to personalization. We believe in offering a range of products that cater to your unique needs and preferences so you can ‘set your mood.’ This stands for empowerment and choice, enabling you to take control of your own wellbeing with products that align with your desired state of mind.”


Kratom veins 101

Much of this goal is accomplished with Kratom, which comes in different "veins"—White, Green, and Red. Each one offers something a little different, allowing you to truly set your mood accordingly.


White Maeng Da

Think calm but focused vibes. You’re not wired, but you’re also far from a nap.


Green Maeng Da

This one’s all about getting stuff done—perfect for when you’ve got deadlines or need to stay laser-focused (a personal fave for my writing marathons).


Red Maeng Da

Cue the deep breaths. This is for those moments when you just need to chill and be entirely present. 


The functional shroom boost



Not only does Dialed Moods have a variety of Kratom available—the drinks also contain Lion’s Mane, cordyceps, and a healthy hit of caffeine for that extra edge. You’ll feel this combo working in real-time; it’s like hitting fast-forward on your focus and productivity in a smooth, sustainable way.


“Lion’s Mane contains compounds that support cognitive health and enhance concentration, while Kratom has mitragynine, the most abundant alkaloid in its leaves that acts as a partial agonist of the mu-opioid receptors in the brain,” Garawi said. “At lower doses, mitragynine provides stimulating and energizing effects, which makes it popular among those looking to enhance their productivity and mental clarity.”


Finally, cordyceps are known to enhance cellular production and improve oxygen utilization, while that caffeine boost is present for enhanced alertness and cognitive performance. “The prices 150mg dose of caffeine helps stimulate the central nervous system, which improves focus and reduces fatigue so you can stay ‘dialed in’ throughout your day,” Garawi said.


What’s next for Dialed Moods?

Dialed Moods isn’t stopping at energy drinks. The team is currently working on hydration packets and kratom energy mixes that are perfect for tossing into your water bottle, and they also offer gummies, powders, and capsules, which are great for pre-workout sessions. 


“You might be surprised by how good Dialed Moods tastes,” Garawi said, whose go-to flavor is Strawberry Razz. “You really get those fruit notes coming through purely. With a lot of infused beverages with ingredients like Kratom, it’s hard not to get an unpleasant aftertaste. That’s not the case with Dialed Moods, and we worked very hard to achieve that.”


The team is looking forward to enhancing that flavor with their additional lines of products, which will continue to appeal to a wide range of consumers looking for a healthy and flavorful pick-me-up.
