Discovering The Vast And Amazing World Of Mushrooms W/ Danielle Ryan Broida
Greetings, SuperFriends!
Today we are joined by Danielle Ryan Broida. Danielle is a Registered Herbalist (RH) of the American Herbalists Guild (AHG), Certified Holistic Nutritionist and National Educator at Four Sigmatic. She is also a mycologist, which we talked about in-depth, and has studied Ayurveda in India, she has traveled the world, she has studied and become a Certified Raw Chef and Detox Coach, plus many other things. Her bio is actually really long, so I won't cover all of it.
Today she is focused on teaching people how to discover the wide world of mushrooms – this entire kingdom of millions of species, many more than there are of plants, that we don't use but probably should be using.
I learned a ton in this episode. I know we've covered mushrooms in the past and all of their healing properties. In this episode, though, we went deeper, as I for the first time got a chance to talk to a mycologist and someone who is actually a registered herbalist.
So, we went far and wide, and we really started to understand, throughout the episode, just how many things mushrooms can do, how little we understand, and how important it is for us to start incorporating these in our routine.
I'm sure you will enjoy this episode as much as I did!
