In this episode, I welcome Western Medical Herbalist, Lee Carroll to the show to largely discuss the powerful benefits of ergothioneine, a naturally-occurring amino acid found in mushrooms.
After an extensive career thus far, Lee is now Chief Medical Herbalist of Real Mushrooms, and his passion lies in educating both the public and practitioners of the amazing applications of mushrooms to support human health.

IBS and Gut Health: Digesting the Truth About Chronic Symptoms and Healing with Kim Heintz
In this episode, I chat with functional health strategist (FDNP) Kim Heintz, to discuss Irritable Bowel Syndrome, gut health, and chronic/mystery symptoms from an integrative, holistic, and hopeful perspective.
Kim's journey into functional health started with a debilitating long history that included chronic migraines, chronic fatigue, sleep issues, etc. for over two decades. While doctors offered no hope, she was determined to find answers, eventually discovering the root of her symptoms, thus finding COMPLETE relief after nearly 25 years.
Her now mission as a practitioner is to empower men and women who've been grappling with gut issues and mysterious symptoms without avail. Frustratingly, so many have been told everything looks 'fine' by their doctors, yet they continue to feel sick or out of sorts. With the power of functional labs, Kim uncovers the root causes of her clients' health and gut concerns, guiding them towards vitality through customized diet plans, lifestyle and mindset strategies, along with targeted, short-term supplementation.
