In today's episode of the Elemental Evan Podcast, host Evan Roberts interviews Lee Carroll, the Chief Medical Herbalist at Real Mushrooms. Lee has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to medicinal mushrooms and their benefits. In this episode, Evan and Lee discuss the benefits of medicinal mushrooms such as Lion's Mane, Chaga, Reishi, and Cordyceps, and dive deep into their functional uses and health implications.

When it comes to functional mushrooms, there's some misinformation which can make picking a mushroom brand difficult. In this episode you can expect to hear Lee and Evan clarify the differences between fruiting bodies and mycelium and tackle misconceptions about mushroom supplements, particularly those containing mycelium grown on grain. Lee Carroll also emphasizes the importance of incorporating mushrooms into daily life for overall health and longevity, providing practical advice and insights from his extensive experience. I encourage you to take notes and take advantage of a special discount code provided by Lee at the end of the episode.
