Tony Shields, CEO and co-founder of FreshCap Mushrooms and the host of the FreshCap YouTube Channel, joins Jillian this week to talk about the power of functional mushrooms on everything from immunity to neurogenesis, serenity to energy, gut health to a source of anti-oxidants. We explore reishi’s ability to help manage stress and boost mood; turkey tail’s benefit to the microbiome and the up-regulation of our immune system against diseases like cancer; the Stamets mushroom stack (lions mane, kibensis, and niacin) for preventing dementia and overall cognitive function; the power of cordyceps to power our workouts; chaga’s ability to support healthy cholesterol levels and lower LDL. Tony explains which types of mushroom supplements are best, from the fruiting body to mycelium, and the proper mushrooms extraction process so we buy the best quality product for the greatest  effects. Plus, Tony answers listener questions on the best mushroom stacks, psilocybin strains, mushroom coffee, the benefits of gourmet mushrooms like maitaki and enochi, whether or not mushrooms have an actual language, and so much more! Guest Links:Twitter: @freshcaptonyInstagram: @freshcapmushrooms YouTube @freshcapmushrooms Website: freshcap.comFor 25% off The Fitness App by Jillian Michaels, go to www.thefitnessapp.com/podcastdealFollow us on Instagram @JillianMichaels and @MartiniCindyJillian Michaels Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1880466198675549Email your questions to JillianPodcast@gmail.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
