Ergothioneine: Maintain Mental Sharpness and Reduce Other Age-Related Ailments, with Lee Carroll
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. Ergothioneine has largely flown under the radar among our general populations, but research is clear that this amino acid/antioxidant has very protective action AGAINST cognitive/neurodegenerative, cardiovascular, and metabolic diseases.
Lee takes us through an easy-to-understand lesson on the benefits of ergothioneine, and how it impacts our mitochondria and cellular health, and answers all the questions one might have regarding it's impact on aging and aging WELL.
