In this episode we discuss:- Julian’s journey from physiotherapist to oyster mushroom farmer- The process of setting up urban mushroom farms using coffee waste- Key medicinal mushrooms [AKA functional mushrooms] including chaga, turkey tail, lions mane and reishi- How medicinal mushrooms can be used to support the immune system- The research showing psilocybin [“magic mushrooms”] may help reduce depression and anxiety in terminally-ill cancer patients- Mushrooms as a planet-friendly meat replacement- The importance of soil health and regenerative agriculture- Mycelium biotechnology and the circular economy business model- The ethos behind Life Cykel and advice for would-be business owners- And so much more…Please note: Where possible I advocate for a whole-foods diet rather than using supplements. Mushrooms are among the few natural sources of dietary vitamin D - essential for maintaining overall health, especially for bones, teeth and muscle. A simple hack for increasing the vitamin D content in your culinary mushrooms is to place them on a windowsill in the sunshine for 15 minute before cooking. Culinary mushrooms like shiitake are nutritionally rich and may support the immune system but mushrooms alone are not a cure-all . Instead, they should be included as a vital part of a healthy diet and lifestyle. With regards to COVID, several fungi experts, including Paul Stamets, suggest that you might want to stop using medicinal mushrooms if you get a fever and show symptoms of COVID-19. Some mushrooms may increase the production of inflammatory compounds in the lungs. These compounds are called cytokines, and the body may release them as a natural response to some polysaccharides found in fungi. Please consult a medical professional to discuss this fully if you become unwell. One last thing, please avoid eating foraged mushrooms unless they can be properly identified - some mushrooms are poisonous.https://the_holistic_healing_project.captivate.fm/drlaurenmacdonald (www.drlaurenmacdonald.com)Find out more about Life Cykle: https://lifecykel.com (https://lifecykel.com)Connect with Life Cycle on Instagram https://twitter.com/LifeCykel (@LifeCykel)A https://fascinateproductions.co.uk/ (Fascinate Productions) podcast

His work can be seen in his “Moving Art” Netflix series, in films like “Wings of Life” narrated by Meryl Streep, his Visual Healing series played in hospitals in the USA, and as part of his three hugely popular TED talks. More recently, he brought us Fantastic Fungi with mycologist Paul Stamets.

Wherever you are around the world, I really hope you’re doing OK out there. There’s no doubt that life has been turned upside down by COVID-19 and it’s understandable if you’re a little discombobulated. Right now we’re navigating not only our individual fear and anxiety but also that of the collective - something we’ve never experienced on this scale in our lifetime. Fortunately, there’s plenty that we, as individuals, can do during this time to support not only ourselves but our wider communities.
In this episode I share simple tips and practices that can help you navigate uncertainty, support your immune system and come to a place of acceptance and surrender. I hope you enjoy this episode and that it offers you some comfort and support. Please remember to rate and review if you find it helpful.
