• 07x05. Mushroom bioactives: a brief overview on psylocybin

  In this episode, I explore the therapeutic potential of mushrooms focusing on compounds like psilocybin. The episode is based on the recent viewpoint article “Mushroom bioactives—polysaccharides to psilocybin: a viewpoint on the therapeutic use of mushrooms for consumers and patients for health and neuroplasticity” published on Translational Food Sciences.We unpack how these bioactive compounds, traditionally rooted in cultural and spiritual practice, are now being reconsidered in clinical and nutritional settings.
