114. Everything You Never Knew About Mushrooms: Adaptogenic & Medicinal Benefits with Jeff Chilton

Think Yourself Healthy - A podcast by Heather Barbieri, RDN

On this episode, I'm interviewing medical mushroom pioneer Jeff Chilton! With over 40 years of experience in the medicinal (non-hallucinogenic) mushroom industry, Jeff is looking to spread his wealth of knowledge about our fungi friends and their incredible health benefits!

In the late 60s after studying Ethno-mycology (the study of human-fungal interactions) at the University of Washinton Jeffbegan a career as a large-scale commercial mushroom grower. From there, with a lack of medicinal mushrooms and extracts available in the US market, he founded Nammex, the first certified organic mushroom extract and supplement company in the US. To this day Jeff continues to spread awareness of all the incredible health benefits mushrooms can have on the human body and to inform the public that most mushroom extracts on the market aren’t even real!
