092: Does your dinner need a tan?
The more I learn about this unique superfood, the more I’m convinced it’s one of the healthiest things you can consume.
Because this is not only great for your brain health, improves longevity, and helps support the health of your immune system …
It’s also delicious — and incredibly easy to prepare at home.
I’m talking, of course, about mushrooms.
And my guest on today’s episode of The Dr. Gundry Podcast, Jeff Chilton, is one of the world’s leading fungi experts and the founder of Nammex, a company that specializes in developing organically-certified mushroom products.
Jeff Chilton and I are going to discuss why mushrooms are one of the most powerful medicinal foods on earth, why you’re probably NOT getting enough of them in your diet, and the best ways for you to prepare mushrooms at home.
And as a bonus, Jeff’s also going to explain why some mushroom supplements aren’t exactly all they claim to be.
So, if you love mushrooms, you’re going to love this episode. But if you think mushrooms are gross and slimy, you NEED to tune in — because there’s almost no food I recommend more and this conversation could change your mind…

I am very much interested in learning more about mushrooms for health. I live in Reno, Nv and what to be aware of any mushrooms grown in the area and how to grow some. I have been looking for any classes available in my area.
Thank for all the information, very interesting. Please give us advise where to get real mushrooms and not those ones that grown on starchy beds.
Where do you buy these mushrooms???
Dr. Gundy & Jeff Chilson, watched the Pod Cast #92 about Mushrooms, I live out in the country and only get to stores once every 2 weeks… Do CANNED mushrooms have the same properties after the canning process? I do love Mushrooms, but use canned cause I am the only one who eats them, hubby won’t. If canning looses their properties, can I food dehydrate them myself without loss. I would prefer canned. Thank you so much Jean
