Jami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 431: The Power of Mushrooms

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.  When I was growing up, mushrooms were something that you got on a pizza when you progressed from straight pepperoni.  They were usually from a jar or can and were nothing spectacular to look at.  I believe that is where they got their bad wrap.  The other place I started seeing mushrooms were on a fancy spinach salad.  They were fresh and thinly sliced but raw.  Not a lot of taste but they made the salad pretty.  

Raw mushrooms are actually toxic due to a surface chemical called agaratine.  It is destroyed by cooking a few minutes.  In addition, most of the nutrients associated with mushrooms are released after heating.  

I will give you a few more reasons to put a variety of mushrooms on your plate and even perhaps in your coffee!

Do you feel like a number or a diagnosis when you go to the doctor's?  Have you had anything prescribed besides a drug or test?  I would encourage you to ask why and what a lot more.  If you would like to become more invested in your health and wellbeing, check out our practice website at doctordulaney.com

Perhaps it is time to get healthy.  Thank for listening.
