I’ve always loved the taste of these friendly fungi, but I only recently realized how incredibly medicinal and healing they are too. I’ve been wanting to dig deeper and get the full scoop on these everyday superfoods, so I’ve been absolutely hanging out to interview today’s podcast guest, Tero Isokauppila — the founder of Four Sigmatic.

Tero Isokauppila is a Finnish nomad turned fungi lovin’ foodpreneur. His mission is to bring the ancient wisdom and nutritional magic of mushrooms to modern kitchens around the world. This dream led him to start the juggernaut food company, Four Sigmatic — creators of a pioneering range of medicinal mushrooms, herbal adaptogens and other nutritional goodies. With the huge range of health benefits that mushies offer — everything from increased focus, to thriving hormones, to instant energy — it’s no wonder these products have been snapped up by high profile fans like Tim Ferriss and even my husband.

… and I’m betting that after hearing the benefits for yourself, you’ll be itching to add these mushies into your daily routine too.
