Ep. #1014: What You Need to Know About Mushroom Supplements

Mushroom supplements are more popular than ever. For really the last couple of years more and more influential people have been claiming that these supplements offer a wide range of benefits including improving your cardiovascular, metabolic, and brain health, reducing your risk of disease and dysfunction, improving athletic performance, and much more.

But not everyone is so gung-ho about them. Fungi skeptics claim that the benefits of these supplements are often oversold and are not scientifically proven. Instead, they're based more just on folk wisdom rather than hard evidence.

So in this podcast, you’re going to hear evidence-based answers. We’re going to talk about who is right, or at least who is more right than wrong given the current weight of the total evidence available to us. And I’ll be covering several types of popular mushroom supplements, including reishi, turkey tail, shiitake, chaga, lion's mane, and cordyceps. So tune in!
