Episode Synopsis
Can mycology be the catalyst to living a healthier more vibrant life, starting in motherhood?
We discuss all things mushrooms; their culinary wonders using shiitake, oyster and portobello, all have medicinal properties, their amazing benefits to fertility and sperm health, their role in supporting gut microbiome health, and even the hallucinogenic properties to support mental health. Wow! If you don't eat or use medicinal mushrooms, this interview will inspire you to start taking them now!
The study of fungi, a group that includes the mushrooms and yeasts have been part of human history- in art, in lore, in food, and medicine for ever in our recorded history.
In our modern life, we can now verify scientifically through studies and research what our ancestors have known all along – Mushrooms are super cool!
They live in the dark recesses of the woods and seem sort of magical. Tune in now to learn more!
