Medicinal Mushrooms with Kevin Spelman: Immune Deep Dive
A training for practitioners with Kevin Spelman (1.5 NPCE)
April 14 from 5-6:30 pm ET
What you'll learn:
For over three decades, medicinal mushroom extracts have served as approved adjuncts to established cancer therapies in Japan and China, while compiling a significant history of safe and effective use alongside radiation therapy and chemotherapy. Beyond oncology, medicinal mushrooms offer promising benefits in a range of health domains, from cognitive enhancement with lion's mane to adaptogenic effects/stress modulation with reishi and cordyceps. Besides clinical applications we will also cover mycelia vs fruiting bodies and discuss extraction of mushrooms. Join us for a session dedicated to bridging the gap between scientific investigation and real-world clinical application, with practical insights and case studies.
By the end of the session, you'll be able to:
Explore traditional and modern clinical applications of medicinal mushrooms
Review the mycochemistry of various fungi species and identify the differences between mycelia and fruiting bodies
Understand the traditional and commercial extraction processes commonly used to make mushroom products
Apply insights from the scientific literature and clinical experience to clinical practice
