Mushroom Immune Support Benefits

The Daily Mushroom Immune Support contains a blend of potent mushrooms including Reishi, Turkey Tail, Shiitake, Maitake, Chaga, Cordyceps, Lion's Mane, and Agaricus, each contributing to various health benefits. These mushrooms are said to support a healthy immune system, enhance physical endurance, improve cognitive function, and promote heart health. Importantly, the product uses only the fruiting body of the mushrooms, which is considered more effective than using the stems or roots found in many other products. This formulation is positioned as a powerful natural remedy to bolster immunity, particularly beneficial during colder months.

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows!

This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track!

Check out today's questions:

Audrey: Hello! Appreciate all of your insight - you are a wealth of knowledge! I'm a 32 year old that has had idiopathic thrombocytopenia since I had my child 5 years ago. Just wondering what labs you recommend for this and how to improve the numbers. Thanks! Kaylee: Hi Dr. Cabral. I appreciate everything that you do. I’m reaching out because I am at a loss for what to do next. I have dealt with chronic constipation and bloating my entire life. A year ago I cut out all dairy from my diet and started working with an IHP. She was phenomenal and for a while, constipation, gas, and bloating had subsided while working with her. Through working together I am now able to have a bowel movement every morning. However, the intense bloating, gas and belching has returned. From the moment I wake up until I go to bed, my stomach gets more and more distended as the day goes on. I prioritize Whole Foods, still don’t eat dairy, exercise five days a week, prioritize 7 to 8 hours of sleep at night and live a healthier life than a lot of my peers. What should I do? Kelsey: How does glutamate affect methylation? Frances: Hi doctor Cabral, First off, I just want to say how amazing you are at breaking down complex health topics and offering practical solutions on your podcast. It’s been incredibly helpful, and I truly appreciate it. I have a question about raw vs. cooked vegetables. Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda often recommend eating cooked vegetables to aid digestion and other bodily processes. Does this also apply to veggies we add to smoothies? I frequently use raw spinach, kale, and cauliflower in mine. Should I be cooking them first, or does blending them make them easier to digest? Thanks so much for your answer. Frances Lauren: Hi Dr. Cabral, a close friend is suffering from Morton's Neuroma in both her feet. She has had cortisone injections, tried rest & really can't find much in terms of natural remedies. Are you able to make any suggestions? Sometimes surgery is the only option but I would appreciate your expertise/guidance on possible healing modalities? Thank you!
