Mushrooms have been a hot topic, not only for their incredible nutritional benefits but also for their ‘magical’ benefits around consciousness and mental health. Although the use of mushrooms dates back thousands of years with Chinese medicine, they are only now becoming more mainstream and emerging widely within the wellness community for their medicinal values, with different species offering different functions and benefits. There are a variety of ways in which you can incorporate mushrooms to optimize your life, from functional mushrooms to improve physical health, immunity and overall vitality; to psychedelic mushrooms for mental shifts, radical transformation and clearing and releasing trauma. Alli Schaper, passionate mental health advocate, joins me to discuss the profound life changing effects of Mushrooms, and her mission to increase the education around this topic to help others incorporate them into their daily routine and lifestyle.
