7: Birch Boys Founder Garrett Kopp: Functional Fungi, Forest Foes and Family Business
12/11/23 • 49 min
At the young age of 15 Garrett Kopp was inspired by his Grandmother to dive into the world of functional fungi.
At 18 and just one month after raising $60,000 to start his company, he lost his grandmother to pancreatic cancer. It was then that Birch Boys made it's official debut.
Garrett describes his grandmother's journey as well as the role that functional fungi played with his dog, Joey's diagnosis.
Garrett is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to wild and cultivated mushrooms - fungi that our ancestors (across cultures) have been using for thousands of years.
And he has a big vision: to become a land-owning company who sets forth a more lucrative sustainable, ethical and well-rounded approach to forestry and private land stewardship.
We cover a lot of ground in this episode, so grab some mushroom tea and settle in for a listen.

Welcome Mitzi Wilkinson Champion!
Eleven years ago, Mitzi says she was obese with a long list of medical conditions including: depression, ADD, fatty liver, pre-diabetic, insulin resistant, sleep apnea, acid reflux, joint pain, planter’s fasciitis, brain fog, gas and bloating, acne, and dry eye syndrome. In 2020 she was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis.
Her own healing journey prompted her to study nutrition which led her to follow the low carb/keto/PHD (Proper Human Diet) lifestyle. Which, at the time of this writing, she has been following for more than seven years. Since starting it she has seen a marked improvement in her thyroid blood markers, lost 50 pounds and is currently on no medications.
Mitzi is certified as a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (FNTP). And she recently finished her master’s degree in Public Health with a concentration in nutrition. She is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Health Sciences and is an Adjunct Professor at George Mason University. She also works for the US Army.

8: The Dangers of Tap Water, Hydration for Health and Clean Water at Home
What if being hydrated properly resolved 99% of health problems?
If so, what will you drink to stay properly hydrated?
If you're relying on tap water... are you drinking in 21 heavy metals, 6 forever chemicals, 68 pharmaceuticals, 7 hormones, 45 pesticides and herbicides, and 15 other disinfectants from your tap?
In today's day and age, we can no longer rely only on the filtration methods that happen before water comes to the home. Instead, we have to do additional water filtration in the home to ensure our own health.
All this and more in the first (of what will surely be a series) about the power of hydration, the danger of tap water and the water filtration system I rely on to be properly hydrated.
