EPISODE 76
Paul Kempisty is an acupuncturist, Chinese medicine practitioner, and a wealth of knowledge on the magical world of fungi. They have incredible healing properties, and it’s great to see them pop up--like mushrooms, one might say-- in more products everywhere. We get into some of the buzzwords (hello, adaptogens and nootropics), and gain more insight into relying on roots, plants, and herbs for healing purposes. He breaks down some of the science behind them and tells us what is undebatable when it comes to the benefits of mushrooms.
