We will cover the transformative power of mushrooms, how they can be a nutritional powerhouse in your diet with their high levels of vitamins, minerals, high quality protein, microbiome-supporting fiber, and beneficial immune-regulating effects.
We will discuss how to choose the best and most effective products, how to make your own dried tea powders from a variety of active and well-studied species, and how to use them for prevention of infections and other health conditions, and as an anti-aging and health-promoting supplement.
