I went through your account. Don't worry you can go through mine too, it's all public. Lol. You have low steem power. That's going to heavily influence your post payouts and visibility. Yes, i know we are both doing this bevause we love the interactions/connecting but this aspect of "how it works" would be something I would look into.
Just saying because you got some good things to share that not a lot are knowledgeable on and would love to see your posts getting more attention.
I would take some of your SBD sell in the internal market for STEEM tokens and from there use those tokens to power up.
Another thing you'll want to do is get busy with your commenting....if you aren't already. That'll help you income wise so you can improve your steem power.
As far as the upvote price, you have something like 11 "full powered" votes/day after that it drops. For example, if your full powered upvote is say 2cents, then it won't take long to deplete it.
Sorry if I'm giving you way too much info here. Not trying to be "overly helpful". I'm new here too and still learning a lot. Would love to see your stuff getting more visibility.
What are the three adaptogens you take daily?
Also please tag me in your next post wanna make sure i don't miss it :)

You are absolutely NOT being "overly helpful". It's fairly obvious to me that I need all the help I can get. So thank you!

The three adaptogens I have been taking are lycium (goji berries), rhodiola, and ashwaghanda.

I will be writing articles about rhodiola and ashwagandha, so stay tuned....

Can you get those encapsulated?

Yes, you can. I worry about the quality from some commercial sources and also expiration. I have one customer who gets powdered form of herbs when the powder first becomes available ( and therefore we have a pretty good chance that it has not sat on a shelf for awhile) and then fills capsules for herself. That is more work than I and most others want to do, so it is a choice of putting in food or smoothie as a powder or dried berry. I do a combination of both, plus when traveling or taking a dosage later in the day after meals, I take a tincture. Some adaptogens lend themselves easily to be taken as food - goji berries and schisandra berries are examples of that. @chelsea88

My mother and I used to encapsulate herbs. Yes, very time consuming but you know what you're getting! What are the best brands in your opinion that are less likely to have been exposed to a long shelf life?

I buy powders only from Starwest and Frontier and only directly from them. Anybody redistributing could have had it on their shelves too long. Some herbs I cannot buy powders, so I powder them myself. My herb grinder won't grind as fine, but for making tinctures it still gives me the consistentency in potency that I need. I posted an article today on another adaptogen and reference it as a powder for smoothies in the last paragraph. It is available from Starwest as a powder. Did you get a chance to see that article?
