Like CBD, it seems like everyone is talking about mushrooms and their superpowers. But, honestly, I didn’t know all that much about them before this episode. In fact, I had no idea there was so much to know about mushrooms! Thankfully, today’s guest enlightened me on the hundreds of species of mushrooms and their countless benefits.

Jeff Chilton is a mushroom aficionado whose fascination with the plant led him to his current role as President of Nammex, the first company to offer a certified organic line of mushroom extracts in the US supplement industry. Jeff is also a kind and brilliant soul who is here to share with us the many benefits of mushrooms -- both edible and medicinal -- and what to look for when choosing a mushroom supplement.

As Jeff makes clear in this episode, mushrooms are not a panacea, but they can play an incredible role in bringing our bodies back into homeostasis.

Listen in to learn:

• The basic nutritional benefits of edible mushrooms
• The difference between edible mushrooms and medicinal mushrooms
• How medicinal mushrooms work to enhance your health and bring you back into homeostasis
• How to start implementing mushrooms into your diet and supplement routine  

• What to look for in the quality mushroom supplements
