Learn about the power of adaptogens for improving resiliency and helping our bodies adapt to physical and mental stressors in the environment during the winter.

Research shows that adaptogens can combat fatigue, enhance mental performance, ease depression and anxiety, and fortify energy reserves during the colder, darker and shorter days of winter.

There are a number of well-researched adaptogenic mushrooms and this workshop will cover the 10 most important medicinal mushrooms that you can legally grow at home.

You will also learn the principles of biohacking and how to test to find out which medicinal mushrooms will work best for your health and physiology.

If you sometimes feel like city life leaves you feeling overwhelmed, tired and unable to live and perform at your highest levels then adaptogenic mushrooms could help you adapt and thrive in the stressful city environment.

In many ways, mushrooms are the missing link for reconnecting us back to nature. They are nature's soil creators, they nourish our gut microbiome, and they offer many interesting ways to combat climate change.

Yet, mushrooms are mysterious to most people.

It is only in recent years that science has started to understand the medicinal compounds in mushrooms and begun to explore the mostly invisible world of mycelium, interconnected webs of fungi which are crucial for soil health and forest biodiversity.

Fungi (of which mushrooms are the reproductive, fruiting bodies) share many characteristics with the human digestive system and as a result, they can have a prebiotic affect on your gut microbiome.

This makes it easier to absorb nutrients and it encourages the growth of healthy gut flora.

Join us for this unique learning experience on Monday, December 2nd at Alternity Lounge near downtown Toronto.
