As elite professional athletes, the authors of this book know firsthand that functional mushrooms (non-gourmet, non-psychedelic) have huge potential to help anyone who actively uses their minds and bodies. Despite having been used for centuries by ancient cultures, they are missing from the diets of most people in the United States - and there hasn't been anywhere near enough advice or guidelines on exactly how to use them. Until now.
This book explores the wide-ranging benefits of functional mushrooms, highlighting their unrivaled potential to improve both performance and recovery, and offering guidance on when, how, and how much to use. It covers the broad benefits of functional mushrooms as powerful adaptogens, antioxidants, anti-inflammatories, and immune-boosters. And it covers the unique benefits of specific mushrooms like Cordyceps, Reishi, Lion's Mane, Turkey Tail, and Chaga. Taken in all, it's clear that functional mushrooms deserve a primary role in the regimen of anyone who actively uses their mind and body.
