TMHS 191: Everyday Medicines & The World’s Healthiest Coffee with Tero Isokauppila

You’ve heard the quotes from Hippocrates time and time again, “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.” There is true brilliance in that statement. But when you need the best medicine, what food do you go for?

Four thousands upon thousands of years mushrooms have stood head-and-shoulders above all over foods for their medicinal qualities. So much so that there’s even a category of mushrooms called medicinal mushrooms that really take the fungi cake.

Today you’re going to learn some of the surprising science on medicinal mushrooms. Our special guest Tero Isokauppila is going to blow you away with tips and insights hailing from the mushroom kingdom. You’re going to learn how to ensure you stay healthy when you travel, how to slow the aging process, how to make the world’s healthiest coffee and a whole lot more!

In this episode you’ll discover:

  • What the 3 different categories of mushrooms are.
  • How mushrooms “eat” nutrients like humans do.
  • Why mushrooms are distinctly different from plants.
  • What human DNA and mushroom DNA have in common (this will shock you!).

  2. I love all of your shows, but am leaving my first comment ever because I just really like this guy. He is so genuine and tuned in, and his passion and knowledge are evident. I had no idea mushrooms were so powerful. I live in Ireland surrounded by several rich and diverse forests. I’ve always wanted to forage mushrooms but didn’t know where to get the knowledge to do it safely. I just signed up for Mushroom Academy and hope that this is one thing I can gain from it. I’m really looking forward to trying the Lion’s Mane and learning more! Thanks Tero, Shawn and Jade- keep up the good work. ❤

  3. The one food that I’m allergic to is mushrooms lol. Any alternatives for me?
