About this episode:
Lee Carroll joins The First Lady of Nutrition for a fascinating deep dive into the amazing world of functional mushrooms. Lee is a distinguished medical herbalist, innovator, speaker, educator, and mentor to health professionals worldwide. Ann Louise and Lee cover everything from mushroom coffee vs. supplements to why mushrooms deliver nutrients you won’t find elsewhere. Surprising fact: humans and fungi share 30% DNA!
The conversation spotlights ergothioneine—a unique antioxidant concentrated in red blood cells, the eyes, and the liver that Lee believes is poised to become the next big discovery in health circles. You’ll learn where this compound is most concentrated (Golden Oyster leads the pack; Lion’s Mane and Shiitake are other strong sources). In addition, you’ll be privy to not only the specific amounts of these exclusive nutrients, but also why researchers are hard at work developing a test that may flag neurological risk years earlier.
Lee also offers a fresh lens on why women face more autoimmunity disorders than men and how mushroom nutrients may support immune balance. These two titans of health touch on product quality, cancer-care conversations, and Lee’s Top 5 mushroom picks. Curious which mushrooms to sip, stack, or sauté? Press play—and start a smarter mushroom routine. Learn more about Lee at herbameditari.com or realmushrooms.com.
