In this episode, Dabney helps you better understand the basics of medicinal mushrooms. As she dives into the fascinating world of medicinal mushrooms and their incredible health benefits, she will share her own stories from childhood to today.

From immune support to brain health, these natural wonders have been used for centuries in traditional medicine and are now gaining recognition in modern wellness practices. We explore seven powerhouse mushrooms:  

1. Reishi (The Mushroom of Immortality):      - Known for its calming and immune-boosting properties, reishi is a go-to for stress relief, better sleep, and overall vitality.  

2. Lion’s Mane (The Brain Booster):      - This unique mushroom supports cognitive function, memory, and nerve regeneration, making it a favorite for brain health and mental clarity.  

3. Chaga (The Antioxidant King):     - Packed with antioxidants, chaga helps fight inflammation, support the immune system, and promote skin health.  

4. Shiitake (The Culinary Healer):     - Beyond its delicious flavor, shiitake mushrooms are rich in compounds that support heart health, immunity, and even cholesterol balance.  

5. Maitake (The Immune Modulator):      - Often called the "dancing mushroom," maitake is celebrated for its ability to regulate the immune system and support metabolic health.  

6. Turkey Tail (The Immune Warrior):      - Renowned for its powerful immune-modulating properties, turkey tail is packed with polysaccharides like PSK and PSP, which are studied for their potential to support immune function and overall wellness.  

7. Cordyceps (The Energy Enhancer):     - Known for its ability to boost energy, stamina, and athletic performance, cordyceps also supports respiratory health and helps the body adapt to stress.  

Tune in to discover how these ancient fungi can help you thrive in modern life!
