45: An Informational Guide to the Nutritional and Medicinal Benefit of Mushrooms with Jeff Chilton
What is your perception of mushrooms? Have you ever read any studies or listened to any podcast episodes explaining the health benefits of mushrooms?
If not, this is the episode for you because Jeff Chilton is joining me to tell us all about his career, his journey, how he learned about everything to do with the mushroom industry, and more.
With over 40 years of experience in the medicinal (non-hallucinogenic) mushroom industry, Jeff is looking to spread his wealth of knowledge about our fungi friends and their incredible health benefits!
In the late 60s after studying Ethno-mycology (the study of human-fungal interactions) at the University of Washinton Jeff began a career as a large-scale commercial mushroom grower. From there, with a lack of medicinal mushrooms and extracts available in the US market, he founded Nammex, the first certified organic mushroom extract and supplement company in the US. To this day Jeff continues to spread awareness of all the incredible health benefits mushrooms can have on the human body and to inform the public that most mushroom extracts on the market aren’t even real!
We cover the nutritional and medicinal benefits of mushrooms, why everyone should use mushrooms as preventative medicine, how to make sure you choose the right mushroom, and more, so listen closely because mushrooms might be something you need to consider on your own health journey!
