As the wellness landscape continues to evolve, functional mushrooms have emerged as a powerful addition to the supplement ritual. “Functional mushrooms are used in the adaptogenic sense and are something that targets the inside in terms of your wellness, health, sleep and gut health,” explains Justin Ford, founder of Life Within. In the latest episode of Wellness Wednesdays, MOJEH speaks to Ford to explore how these adaptogens can improve your day-to-day health.
“Reishi is my functional mushroom of choice,” he tells MOJEH. “Reishi allows you to calm the nervous system, switch off in the evening and drop into a calm, rested state.” Beyond relaxation, each variety serves a targeted purpose: cordyceps extract boosts energy, turkey tail strengthens immunity, and lion’s mane supports cognitive performance and flow state.
