Medicinal Mushrooms Are Way More Beneficial Than We Think With Ashley Southard, CEO of Mushroom Design May 27, 2021

Medicinal and functional mushrooms have been on the rise over the past few years but what do they actually do? Ashley Southard, the Co-Founder and CEO of Mushroom Design, takes us to Mushroom School explaining all the different kinds of benefits, the dangers of overdosing on mushrooms, the difference by psychedelic and functional mushroom plus why her brand Mushroom Design is patented to be one of the most bioavailable ways to ingest functional mushrooms.

Mushroom Design is an innovative nutraceutical mushroom brand that inspires a better quality of life for humans—has been an avid believer in seeking natural, alternative healing remedies for years. After receiving alarming inflammation results in her bloodwork in 2020, Ashley, along with Co-Founder Jonathan Glinski, sought to change the medicinal mushroom industry by creating the first-ever mushroom multi-vitamin, properly dosed. The concept of Mushroom Design was conceived with the intent to “not preach to the choir,” but rather educate the masses on the immune-boosting and cognitive-enhancing benefits of medicinal mushrooms—without compromising the quality or the environment.

Finding Calm Within The Chaos + Manifesting With Action In Times Of Uncertainty Jan 10, 2021

This episode is a must-listen if you are feeling overwhelmed by the events in the world and/or in your personal life. I really try to share tools and tips in this episode to help you find calm within the chaos and ways manifest in times of uncertainty.

Finding calm within chaos is a practice I have been working on for the last six months. This last week I got put to the test in more ways than one. Finding calm within the chaos has been vital because the chaos isn't going anywhere. Last week was also difficult to get back into the new year routine/vision boarding and manifestation. Taking a new approach of detached manifestation and goal setting has motivated to set those plans even if they don't work out the way I anticipate them to.

About Lifeway Foods: The Lifeway story begins in 1986, when Russian immigrants Michael and Ludmila Smolyansky began making Kefir in the basement of their Skokie, IL home. The cultured dairy drink had been popular in Eastern Europe for centuries, but the Smolyansky family was determined to share their delicious health secret with their newfound home. Two years later, they took the company public and it debuted on the NASDAQ exchange under the ticker symbol LWAY. Since its humble basement beginnings many years ago, Lifeway Foods has now grown into the largest manufacturer of Kefir in the United States and has brought the delicious taste and probiotic health benefits of Kefir to a whole new generation.
