Mushrooms & Gut Healing: My Journey from the Kitchen to Deep Medicine

October 03, 2024 • Lydia Joy • Episode 206

In this episode, I dive deep into the world of mushrooms—starting in the kitchen and exploring their powerful medicinal benefits for gut health and overall wellness. I’ll share how I first fell in love with using mushrooms in my own healing journey, from culinary staples like lion’s mane and shiitake to powerful allies like Amanita Muscaria. Whether you’re curious about incorporating more mushrooms into your diet or exploring their deeper medicinal properties, this episode offers insights to help you connect with the wisdom of these ancient fungi and nourish your body from the inside out.
