Nutrition NUTZ, with Jim Wilk C.N.C.

In this episode, Jim explores a couple of health journal articles regarding the benefits of turmeric curcumin for muscle fatigue and inflammation as well as an article exploring similar befits from the essential amino acid leucine.
Then his guest Tom Dadant from Host defense will explore many topics related to medical mushrooms (fungi) including a wide variety of topics. Here are just a few examples; the history of mushrooms and health, structure of mushrooms explained, mushrooms can be both medicinal and culinary at the same time (i.e. lion's mane tastes like lobster), all mushrooms are a prebiotic feeding the microbiome in the gut, benefits of taking concentrated formulas of multiple mushrooms vs single mushroom formulas, capsule vs liquid, children studies, and questions like, "Did you know we share more genetic DNA with mushrooms than we do with plants?"
Also at the beginning and end of the conversation, Tom goes into very intriguing details about bees and the current concerns of their health and how Host Defense has been investing efforts to assist bees by feeding them medicinal mushrooms for their immune health. It's extremely fascinating and inspiring. Check out all the buzz around this topic.
