For thousands of years, medicinal mushrooms have been used across ancient cultures for their healing and regenerative properties helping to boost immune defences.

The chocolate season is upon us. Easter can be a time where we let ourselves over-indulge maybe a little more than we wanted to! This quick recipe delivers on decadence while still being a healthier easter egg alternative with natural sweetness from the honey and an energy and immune buzz from the Cordyceps, Turkey Tail and Bee Pollen.

Each medicinal mushroom has its own qualities and healing benefits which give us clues as to the best time of day to enjoy them. By being mindful of this we’re able to flow with the natural arc or rhythm of the day, supported by a mushie that we might be working with at times when it’s best suited to do so. Read on as we dive into which mushies we most enjoy in the morning versus the evening to make the most of their individual properties.

Key to our longevity, healthy brain function opens the door to our highest potential mentally and physically and this desire for optimal performance has seen the popularity of nootropics rise to new heights.

The day of love, Valentine’s Day, approaches. While we don’t need an excuse to celebrate this universally uniting force, there’s no greater heart opener than practising self-love or getting up close and personal with the person you hold dear.

One of our favourite healthy treats is whipping up some jellies spiked with mushies and these juicy raspberry and Cordyceps hearts deliver big Valentine’s Day vibes.

Libido is sometimes a topic that we shy away from talking about, or even contemplating within ourselves when the desire for intimacy might be low. Our desire can take a major hit when we’re subjected to stress, with the body placing emphasis on survival rather than procreation and pleasure. Sexual energy is an expression of our overall energy reserves and a reflection of a state of balance and inner vitality. This powerful, life-creating energy is something to be expressed and harnessed.

To nourish the free flow of energy we look to Cordyceps which is not only famed for cellular energy production but has long been linked to supporting libido.

Cordyceps has a legacy with individuals looking to elevate their athletic performance. This super shroom is known for naturally boosting physical energy production and performance, and reducing fatigue, allowing you to get more out of your workout session. Lace up your kicks as we dive into Cordyceps' incredible energy-enhancing potential, the research that validates this, and how to integrate this mushie into your pre-workout routine.
