The Rise of Conscious Drinking
As we become increasingly aware of alcohol’s long-term effects on health, mood and longevity, a growing movement is embracing mindful alternatives that nourish both body and brain. At Noemi LIFE, we're always on the lookout for healthier, smarter alternatives that align with our commitment to conscious living. So when we discovered Sentia Spirits, a non-alcoholic drink designed to activate the brain’s natural calming neurotransmitter—GABA—we had to explore.
What Is GABA—and Why Should You Care?
GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) is a naturally occurring neurotransmitter in the brain. Think of it as your nervous system’s “brake pedal”—slowing down overactive neurons and easing the body into a state of calm.
When GABA levels are balanced, you may feel:
Relaxed but alert
Less anxious and more grounded
Able to sleep and recover more easily
More emotionally balanced
Low GABA, by contrast, is associated with:
Anxiety
Insomnia
Irritability
Overthinking and poor stress resilience
That glass of wine you crave at the end of a long day? It mimics GABA’s effects temporarily—but over time, alcohol disrupts natural GABA production, worsening stress and sleep quality.
That’s where Sentia Spirits offers a new kind of ritual.
Sentia Spirits: A GABA-Boosting Elixir—Not Just a Drink

Created by a team of neuroscientists, herbalists and botanists, Sentia is part of a new generation of functional, non-alcoholic drinks formulated not just for flavour—but for function. Its plant-based ingredients are designed to gently activate the GABAergic system—the neural network responsible for calm, connection, and ease.https://www.noemilife.co.uk/functionalbeverages
Key Botanicals in Sentia:
Passionflower – Traditionally used to reduce anxiety and improve sleep
Ashwagandha – An adaptogen that lowers cortisol and enhances calm
Rhodiola – Supports stress resilience and balances energy
L-Theanine – Found in green tea; promotes relaxed alertness without sedation
Every formula is designed to stimulate the GABA response—without the crash, cravings, or liver load associated with alcohol.
Sentia Red, Black & Gold: Crafted for Mood and Mindfulness
Sentia offers three distinct blends—Red, Black and the newly released Gold—each crafted to activate the GABAergic system and support different moments of calm connection.
Sentia Red: The Social Soother
A rich, warming blend with notes of berry, spice and herbal depth. Formulated to promote relaxed alertness, Sentia Red is ideal for winding down or enjoying meaningful conversations—without the fog of alcohol.
Best For:
Replacing a glass of red wine
Pre-dinner socialising
Creative work or journaling
Sentia Black: The Bold Grounder
Earthy and complex, with a bittersweet finish. Sentia Black is made for slow sipping and deeper states of calm—ideal for introspection or quiet evenings.
Best For:
Ending the workday
Pairing with a good book or meditation
Deep conversations or reflection
Sentia Gold: The Uplifting Companion
Sentia Gold is the brand’s latest release—designed to gently uplift while maintaining inner calm. With brighter botanical notes and a smoother finish, it offers a lighter, more energising experience that still works in harmony with the GABA system.

Daytime socialising
Creative flow states
Light, feel-good moments without overstimulation
Why This Matters for Longevity & Hormonal Health
At Noemi LIFE, we often explore fasting, mitochondria and nutrient synergy—but emotional regulation is equally vital. Chronic stress erodes telomeres, disrupts hormones and impacts digestion and sleep—all key pillars of long-term vitality.

Sentia isn’t just a drink. It’s a mood.
For anyone wanting to unwind without undoing their wellness efforts, Sentia offers a beautifully crafted, science-backed alternative. It supports your nervous system, rather than numbing it. It enhances connection, rather than clouding it. And it fits seamlessly into the Noemi LIFE philosophy: calm, conscious and crafted with care.
