This Mushroom Broth Recipe is Perfect for Fall and Your Brain Health

Fall is here, and it’s got us yearning for something earthy, warm, and comforting.

Today, we have a mushroom broth that’s perfect for a rainy day or even as an appetizer for a hearty meal.

Note that the mushrooms for this recipe are a bit harder to find than portobellos, so you may need to look up your specialty or health foods store. But trust us, it’s worth it!

We call it the Zen Brain Mushroom Broth.

Now, let’s get to the recipe!

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup dried Lion’s Mane mushrooms (or fresh if available)

• 1/4 cup dried Reishi mushrooms (or fresh slices)

• 1/4 cup Chaga chunks (dried)

• 8 cups water

• 2 cloves garlic (smashed)

• 1” piece fresh ginger (sliced)

• 2 tbsp soy sauce or tamari

• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar (helps extract nutrients from the mushrooms)

• Salt and pepper to taste

• Optional: Fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary for additional flavor

Instructions:

1. Prepare the mushrooms:

• If using dried mushrooms, soak them in hot water for 20–30 minutes to rehydrate.

• Once softened, chop them into smaller pieces to release more nutrients during cooking.

2. Simmer the broth:

• In a large pot, add the water, mushrooms (including the soaking liquid if using dried), garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar.

• Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let the mixture simmer for 45 minutes to 1 hour.

3. Strain the broth:

• After simmering, strain the broth through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the mushrooms, garlic, and ginger. You’ll be left with a rich, flavorful mushroom broth.

4. Season to taste:

• Add salt, pepper, and any herbs you like. If you prefer a stronger flavor, you can let the broth simmer longer.

Serve: Warm the broth in a mug or use it as a base for soups or other dishes.

Did you notice anything special about this recipe? OK, we’ll tell you…

Lion’s Mane, Reishi, and Chaga are all known as “functional mushrooms” for their benefits beyond flavor.

• Lion’s Mane: Supports focus and cognitive health

Absolutely delicious AND heart-healthy: Seared Albacore Tuna and Citrus Avocado Salad

Mature woman making vegetable salad at table in kitchen

We only have two rules for dinner at my house:

1. It has to be delicious

2. It has to contain nutrients to support overall wellness

Luckily, I have an easy recipe for you today that fills both of those promises.

And as a bonus, it’s light and perfect for a warm summer evening… or lunch.

Seared Albacore Tuna with Citrus Avocado Salad

The reason I love the albacore tuna in this dish is because it’s high in protein and packs a heart-healthy Omega-3 fatty acids but still low in calories and contains no carbs

Here’s how Albacore Tuna stacks up:

A 6 ounce serving is roughly:

• 210 calories

• 40 grams of protein

• 5 grams of fat

• 0 carbs

• 0 sugar

I have a little more info I want to share with you about the science of Omega-3’s, but first I’ll get straight to the recipe.

Seared Albacore Tuna with Citrus Avocado Salad

Ingredients

For the tuna:

• 4 albacore tuna steaks (about 6 ounces each)

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)

For the citrus avocado salad:

• 2 oranges, peeled and segmented

• 1 grapefruit, peeled and segmented

• 1 avocado, diced

• 1 small red onion, thinly sliced

• 1 small cucumber, thinly sliced

• 1 handful of fresh mint leaves, chopped

• 1 handful of fresh cilantro leaves, chopped

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• Juice of 1 lime

• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Prepare the salad:

• In a large bowl, combine the orange and grapefruit segments, avocado, red onion, cucumber, mint, and cilantro.

• Drizzle with olive oil and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

• Toss gently to combine and set aside.

Prepare the tuna:

• Pat the tuna steaks dry with paper towels. Brush both sides with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

• If using, sprinkle sesame seeds on both sides of the tuna steaks.

Sear the tuna:

• Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over high heat.

• Once the pan is hot, add the tuna steaks. Sear for about 1-2 minutes on each side for rare, or 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, depending on your preference.

• The tuna should have a nice sear on the outside while remaining pink in the center.

Serve:

• Arrange the citrus avocado salad on plates.

• Place the seared tuna steaks on top of the salad.

• Garnish with additional mint and cilantro leaves if desired.

• Serve immediately.

Optional:

• Add a light drizzle of balsamic glaze over the tuna for an extra touch of flavor.

• Serve with a side of quinoa or a light grain for a more filling meal.

This dish is not only visually appealing but also packed with flavors that complement the rich, buttery texture of albacore tuna. Enjoy!

Servings: 4

Per serving:

Calories: 490 / Fat: 30g / Protein: 40g / Carbohydrates: 17g / Sugar: 12g / Fiber: 8g

You might be wondering:

Why did you go with albacore tuna instead of something else, like salmon?

Well, there are two reasons…

1. We eat a lot of salmon, and I like to mix it up

2. Albacore tuna is not only delicious, it contains more Omega-3 fatty acids than any other form of tuna (and more than salmon, also)

But if you’re not a fish lover or it’s not part of your diet…I urge you to make this salad and pair it with another great source of lean protein like chicken or turkey or beef.

But to be 100% honest with you, I don’t run around planning out my meals by calculating each nutrient down to the milligram.

What am I supposed to do—bust out a calculator while I’m in the kitchen? That’s just not practical and frankly, sounds exhausting.

But I do know for a fact that me and my entire family get the proper servings of Omega-3’s everyday, no matter what we eat.

That’s because we all take Dynamic Krill Oil every day, packed with 1,600 mg of K•REAL® Pure Antarctic Krill Oil. Just like it sounds, the krill are sourced from the pristine waters of the Antarctic Ocean, but this supplement from Stonehenge Health has something that no other product on the market can claim:

100% source transparency on every bottle.

Seriously, just scan the QR code on the bottom of the bottle with the camera app on your smartphone, input your batch number on our website, and you can see a map of the exact location where the krill in your bottle was harvested.

Pretty neat, huh?

Elevate your heart health and overall well-being with Stonehenge Health’s Dynamic Krill Oil.*

Packed with Omega-3 fatty acids, our premium krill oil supports joint comfort, brain function, and cardiovascular health.*

Experience the benefits of Dynamic Krill Oil today and embrace a healthier, more vibrant life.*

Your Guide to ‘Sharpening the Saw’ and Enhancing Cognitive Renewal

I have a bit of guilty pleasure…

I’ve always enjoyed reading self-improvement books; I’ve probably read dozens of them over the years.

Do I implement all of the things in the pages of these books? Definitely not, but if I can even get one useful tip out of a book, I consider that a win.

“The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People” by Stephen Covey is an all-time classic.

It’s full of incredible tips to increase productivity (well, seven tips, to be exact), but I want to pull out my favorite tip and share it with you.

Hopefully, this will help you as much as it’s helped me over the years.

Habit #7, “Sharpen the Saw,” emphasizes the importance of continuous self-renewal in order to maintain productivity over the long term.

In other words, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.”

Basically, if you’re using your saw all day for work, it’s going to get dull eventually. You need to do something else in order to keep it sharp.

The “saw” is your brain.

This habit is crucial for maintaining overall effectiveness and long-term success. The key aspect of this habit is mental renewal, which can be significantly enhanced with the right support.

The Importance of Mental Renewal

Two middle age students smiling happy painting clay sculpture at art school.

Mental renewal involves engaging in activities that stimulate and refresh the mind, such as reading, learning new skills, and exercising. It’s about keeping your cognitive abilities sharp, adaptable, and resilient by supplementing them with other types of activities.

Because without regular mental rejuvenation, our effectiveness diminishes.

In addition to sharpening your saw with physical and mental activities, you can also feed your brain by providing it with the nutrients it needs to thrive.

Dynamic Brain and Mental Renewal

Enter Dynamic Brain by Stonehenge Health, a supplement designed to optimize brain health and cognitive function.*

Dynamic Brain is formulated with a blend of 40 ingredients that support various aspects of cognitive health, making it an ideal companion in your quest to sharpen the saw.

Let’s take a closer look at some of these ingredients.

8 Key Ingredients and Their Benefits

3. Huperzia serrata

Huperzia serrata, a firmoss known for its cognitive-enhancing properties, contains huperzine A, which is used in traditional Asian medicine for its health benefits.

4. Bacopa monnieri

6. L-Theanine

7. Lion’s Mane

Lion’s Mane, a functional mushroom, is celebrated for its potential cognitive health benefits and has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries.*

This remarkable mushroom supports cognitive function, reduces mild anxiety, helps with mood, and enhances overall brain health by stimulating the production of nerve growth factor (NGF).*

New Recipe: Brain-Boosting Summer Wraps

What makes food ‘healthy’ in your mind?

We all have pre-determined notions of what ‘healthy’ means to us, but if you take a second to examine why you hold these beliefs, I know you’ll learn something.

So let’s give it a try—really.

Is a certain food healthy because it’s low in calories? Because it’s a vegetable?

Sorry, this was kind of a trick question…

Because when it comes to ‘healthy’ food, balance is key. Our bodies require a variety of nutrients, and no single item can provide everything. This opens up a world of possibilities to explore the diverse offerings of nature while nourishing our bodies.

Today, I want to give you a (delicious) recipe that I’ve developed to help nurture your brain.

That’s right, today’s healthy recipe is designed with ingredients research shows support brain health. In other words we’re feeding it the vitamins and nutrients it craves. I’ll even give you a quick breakdown of how each ingredient supports healthy brain function at the end.

I call this one my Brain-Boosting Summer Wraps…

It’s delicious and light (perfect for summer), easy to make, and full of the ingredients you need to help you stay mentally sharp.

For the wraps:

• 4-100% whole wheat tortillas

1. Rinse the quinoa under cold water.

2. In a pot, bring 1 cup of water to a boil.

3. Add the quinoa, reduce the heat to low, and cover.

4. Simmer for 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed.

5. Remove from heat and let it cool.

6. Drain and rinse the chickpeas if using canned.

Prepare the yogurt dressing:

7. In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.

Assemble the wraps:

8. Lay out the whole wheat tortillas on a clean surface.

Nutritional Info:

These brain-boosting summer wraps are packed with nutrients, combining the cognitive benefits of Bacopa monnieri and choline with a rich mix of vitamins, minerals, Omega-3 fatty acids, complex carbohydrates, and protein.

Two standout brain nutrients in this recipe are:

Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Walnuts, Salmon, and avocado in this recipe provide essential omega-3s. The brain is the fattiest organ in the body (composed of about 60% fat!) which is why it’s essential to supply your brain with this nutrient.

Choline: Eggs are one of the best sources of choline. A nutrient crucial to producing acetylcholine, which supports memory, learning, concentration, and motor skills.That’s why adding choline into your daily diet can help improve memory and attention in healthy adults

There’s another powerful brain ingredient I want to bring to your attention.

Bacopa Monnieri is lesser known outside of the health and wellness space, but it’s effect on cognitive function is definitely worth noting.

Now it’s not always easy to find in the average grocery store. So don’t worry if you have to leave it out of these wraps. I assure you they’ll still taste just as delicious.

Unfortunately, you’re unlikely to find Bacopa Monnieri in many recipes, and even if you do, you’re unlikely to get sufficient quantity needed to provide the cognitive benefits like memory, focus, and learning.*

I urge you to get it in a supplement form.

This is where Dynamic Brain from Stonehenge Health can help.

Packed with 40 unique ingredients, including potent servings of the choline and Bacopa Monnieri, Dynamic Brain’s impressive nootropic blend helps support healthy concentration and alertness.*

It’s not wonder it’s our best selling product. It’s hard for us to keep this in stock.

So I must tell you that right now we’re fully stock! So get a bottle now before we sell out again!

Schools Out: 10 Ways I Keep My Mind Sharp In Summer (#10 is Delicious…)

As a kid, I couldn’t wait for school to end and summer vacation to begin.

Those last few weeks of class were torture as I would stare out the window at the nice weather, desperately waiting until I could slam my books shut, toss my backpack in the closet, and run around with my friends.

I actually had a running joke with my family anytime an educational topic would come up:

“Sorry, Mom—I turned my brain off for the summer.”

Well, that was a looong time ago, and now I have almost the opposite desire.

Around our house, school helps keep our family on a routine. Keeping schedules, doing projects, and helping with homework helps me stay ‘on top of things.’

But in the summer, our schedules relax a little, and I can feel my mind wander a bit more than usual.

This isn’t exactly a bad thing, but as I’m getting older, I definitely pay more attention to my mental health than I used to.

Here are ten ways I keep mentally fit during the summer.

1. Dynamic Brain Supplements

OK, so this is a little bit of a shameless plug for my company…

But that doesn’t mean it doesn’t work.

One of the easiest ways I’ve found to boost my brain power is by taking Dynamic Brain every day.* This supplement is packed with essential nutrients and cognitive enhancers designed to improve focus, memory, and overall mental performance.*

And it’s not just me it works for, either. Just check out the reviews on the Dynamic Brain product page and see for yourself.

2. Regular Physical Exercise

Exercise isn’t just for my body; it’s great for my brain, too. Activities like jogging, swimming, or even a daily walk increase blood flow to the brain, promoting neurogenesis and enhancing cognitive function.

“Neurogenesis” is the creation of new neurons in the brain. This process starts during infancy and continues in specific brain areas throughout our lives but can sometimes stall as we get older.

3. Mindfulness and Meditation

Mindfulness and meditation help reduce my stress, improve concentration, and enhance memory. I set aside a few minutes daily to practice deep breathing, guided meditation, or mindful activities.

I use the Calm app for guided meditation, but if you’re new to the practice, you can also use many other tools.

4. Learning Something New

Summer is a perfect time to pick up a new hobby or skill. Over the years, I’ve studied Spanish, learned to play the guitar, and taken an online course from the community college where I live.

5. Being Socially Active

Smile, park and portrait of group of women enjoying bonding, quality time and relax in nature together.

Engaging with friends and family, joining clubs, or participating in community activities helps keep my mind sharp. Social interactions stimulate cognitive functions and reduce the risk of cognitive decline.

Especially during summer, I like to host dinner parties and BBQs with friends and family.

6. Getting Adequate Sleep

Quality sleep is crucial for my cognitive function. I aim for 7-9 hours of sleep per night to allow my brain to rest and rejuvenate. Good sleep hygiene practices significantly impact memory and learning.

7. Playing Brain-Training Games

Friends playing chess game on chess board for strategy

Numerous apps and games are designed to challenge my brain and improve my cognitive skills. I enjoy puzzles, card games, or strategy-based games to engage my mind.

8. Reading Regularly

Reading books, articles, or even blogs stimulates my brain, improves my vocabulary, and enhances my comprehension skills. I make a summer reading list and dive into new and interesting topics.

I’m currently reading “The Women” by Kristin Hannah. It’s sometimes super intense, but I can’t put it down.

9. Staying Hydrated

Dehydration can negatively affect my cognitive abilities. I ensure I drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep my brain functioning optimally.

You will never find me without my oversized water bottle.

10. Eating a Brain-Healthy Diet

You didn’t think I’d write a whole blog post about mental fitness without giving you one of my favorite brain-boosting recipes, did you?

I incorporate brain-boosting foods into my diet, such as fatty fish, blueberries, nuts, and seeds. These foods are rich in antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids, and other nutrients essential for brain health.

Beyond the Label: What the Community is Saying About Dynamic Krill Oil

There are a lot of things I love about working at Stonehenge Health.

I get to write about my passion—health and wellness.

I research and learn about cutting-edge new ingredients, studies, and products.

I work with amazing and talented people.

But my favorite part about working here?

I get to hear stories about people transforming their lives through better health.

I talk with people who tell me how our products have helped them improve their health literally every day, and I read dozens more online, too.

Today, I wanted to share some of those stories with you, specifically about one of our most versatile products: Dynamic Krill Oil.

Have you ever wondered if there’s a supplement that could address multiple health concerns at once?

Imagine finding something that supports your overall well-being, from reducing joint discomfort to improving mental clarity.

At Stonehenge Health, we’ve formulated Dynamic Krill Oil to do just that, plus a lot more.

But don’t just take my word for it—listen to what our community has to say. Here are a few of my favorites:

Improved Mobility and Reduced Discomfort

“One week into my first bottle of Dynamic Krill Oil, my right knee discomfort from a broken knee cap years ago has disappeared. Previously, kneeling caused serious problems. Three weeks in, my lower back discomfort is also considerably reduced.”*

Our customers often report rapid relief from long-standing discomfort. Whether it’s a knee injury or back stiffness, Dynamic Krill Oil helps to improve mobility and reduce discomfort, allowing you to enjoy your day.*

Clean and Pure Omega-3 Source

“I’m new to krill oil but have done a lot of research and am convinced of its benefits. After a few weeks, I feel great with zero side effects. I like that krill oil is cleaner than other types of fish oils for Omega-3’s because krill are lower on the food chain, helping them avoid pollutants that build up as larger creatures devour smaller ones. Plus, Antarctica is definitely clean as oceans go.”

Krill oil is a superior source of Omega-3 fatty acids because it’s derived from small, shrimp-like creatures found in the clean, unpolluted waters of Antarctica.*

This means fewer contaminants and a purer product for you.*

No Fishy Aftertaste

“There is no fishy aftertaste, and it contains high amounts of astaxanthin and phospholipids. After a few days of use, it relieved my dry eye symptoms.”

One common complaint about fish oil supplements is the unpleasant aftertaste.

Dynamic Krill Oil eliminates this issue, providing all the benefits without the fishy burps. Plus, the added astaxanthin and phospholipids enhance its effectiveness, particularly for conditions like dry eyes.*

Relief from Joint Discomfort and Swelling

“I’ve been taking Dynamic Krill Oil every day for about six months. Within days of starting, I noticed that my ankles were not swollen and stiff at the end of the day.”*

Dynamic Krill Oil can significantly reduce joint discomfort, making daily activities more comfortable.*

Many folks have experienced noticeable improvements in their joint health.*

Enhanced Mental Clarity

“I have been using Stonehenge Health’s Dynamic Krill Oil for about 18 months and have to say that within the first week or so of using it, I felt a significant improvement in my mental clarity. It was such a relief to have my ‘sharp brain’ back; I can’t even explain my excitement. I thought I was doomed to declining mental faculties, and perhaps that is waiting for me down the road, but now? Now I have the brain I had 15-20 years ago, and I completely attribute it to this krill oil. Not only that, but I also experienced a noticeable reduction in my joint discomfort. Try it; you’ll be excited, too.”*

Dynamic Krill Oil isn’t just about physical health. Like the review above, many members of our community find that it enhances mental clarity and cognitive function, giving them back the sharpness and mental acuity they thought they had lost.*

Effective Swelling Reduction

“I had a case of swollen feet and lower legs, particularly my left. I took some other natural supplements that helped a little, but I still had significant swelling. I purchased my first Dynamic Krill Oil three months ago and started using it as soon as it arrived. I noticed a reduction in the swelling after about 4 weeks, and after 3 months of use the swelling in my feet and legs is about 95% improved. I am very happy with the product and have reordered it. Actually, I signed up for the automatic shipment program.”*

Persistent swelling can be uncomfortable. Dynamic Krill Oil has been shown to provide much-needed relief.*

Why Choose Dynamic Krill Oil?

Dynamic Krill Oil is more than just a supplement—it’s a comprehensive approach to better health.

Packed with Omega-3 fatty acids, astaxanthin, and phospholipids, it offers multiple benefits:

Breaking Free from Multitasking With a Healthier Approach to Productivity

A cheerful, busy mature Asian female tailor or online clothes shop seller is multitasking, talking on the phone with her customer while working on her computer in her atelier studio.

In today’s fast-paced world, multitasking is a societal norm.

It’s often listed as a desirable skill in job descriptions and is commonly thought of as a positive trait. We almost yearn to juggle multiple tasks at once, believing it will make us more productive.

And I admit it; as a Mom and full-time researcher and writer, I am a frequent multitasker.

But is multitasking really beneficial, or is it doing more harm than good?

To answer that you have to dig into the science of the human brain.

The Science of Multitasking

From a scientific standpoint, multitasking isn’t quite what it seems.

The human brain is not designed to perform multiple tasks simultaneously. Instead, what we refer to as multitasking is actually “task switching.”

This is when the brain rapidly shifts its focus from one task to another. According to a study from the University of Southern California, this constant switching can lead to several inefficiencies. The study indicates that multitasking causes us to make more mistakes, retain less information, and also changes the way our brains work.¹

When we switch tasks, our brain must reconfigure itself to the new task’s rules and parameters. This process consumes cognitive resources and time, making each switch less efficient and increasing the likelihood of errors.

As a result, the quality of work often declines.

The Downsides of Multitasking on Your Health

Multitasking Concept. Overworked Businessman Sitting At Laptop Overloaded With Work

But apart from the reduced quality of work, there are potentially some serious mental health concerns associated with constant multitasking.

Increased Stress

Multitasking can elevate stress levels. The brain’s constant shifting between tasks creates a sense of pressure and urgency, which can lead to chronic stress.

Over time, this stress can contribute to burnout and other health issues.

Over time, this stress can contribute to burnout and other health issues.

Cognitive Decline

There is evidence that multitasking may contribute to long-term cognitive decline. Research published in the journal PLOS ONE found that people who frequently multitask may experience reduced brain density in areas responsible for cognitive control and emotional regulation.²

Impulsiveness

Multitasking can make us more impulsive. When we’re constantly switching tasks, we may become accustomed to the rapid pace and start making hasty decisions without fully considering the consequences.

This impulsiveness can negatively impact our professional and personal lives.

4 Benefits of Focusing on One Task

While multitasking might seem like a way to get more done, focusing on one task at a time can be much more effective.

1. Improved Quality of Work

When we dedicate our full attention to a single task, the quality of our work improves. We’re able to think more deeply, catch mistakes, and produce better outcomes.

2. Reduced Stress

Focusing on one task at a time can reduce stress. It allows us to work at a more manageable pace and complete tasks more efficiently, leading to a greater sense of accomplishment and well-being.

3. Enhanced Cognitive Function

Focusing on one task can strengthen our cognitive abilities. Concentrated effort improves memory, problem-solving skills, and overall brain health.

4. Better Decision Making

Single-tasking encourages thoughtful decision-making. It gives us the time to consider all aspects of a situation, leading to more balanced and well-informed choices.

Unveil the Power of Fungi: 3 Science-Backed Benefits You Can Get From Mushrooms

If you’ve been reading magazines or seeing lots of ads for mushroom products, you might be wondering:

What’s all this talk about mushrooms? I thought they were just for pasta, salads, and pizza…

We’re not talking about those kinds of ‘shrooms—we’re talking about functional mushrooms.

They’re called “functional mushrooms” because they contain bioactive compounds believed to positively impact the body, from boosting the immune system to enhancing mental clarity and providing energy.*

Functional mushrooms are:

• Rich in beta-glucans, so they support your immune system.*

• Nootropic, meaning they support memory and mental clarity.*

• Adaptogenic, which means they assist your body in adapting to daily stress, leading to improved mood and sleep quality.*

At Stonehenge Health, we have a unique blend of five functional mushrooms we call Dynamic Mushrooms.

With thousands of online reviews, our community has shared many stories about the results they’re getting with our functional mushroom blend.

In today’s article, we’ll pull a few recent testimonials and dive into the science behind the reported health benefits.

Let’s start with three of the top reported health benefits:

1. Increased concentration*

2. Reduced stress*

3. Less brain fog*

Let’s dive in.

1. Concentration

Concentrated mature businesswoman ceo boss typing on laptop, working at office desk

Short attention spans…

In our increasingly fast-paced world, you may feel like your attention span is getting shorter every year.

Maybe it’s getting harder to finish a book, pay attention to a conversation, or even watch a movie without looking at your phone…

If this sounds like you, you’re not alone. Concentration problems are a widespread concern, but you don’t have to let them negatively impact your life.

Studies on the Lion’s Mane mushroom have shown its potential to enhance cognitive functions, including concentration. One study indicated that its bioactive compounds could stimulate brain cell growth, improving mental focus and cognitive agility, which are key to maintaining concentration.¹

This is exactly why we’ve included Lion’s Mane in our Dynamic Mushrooms formulation. A full gram in a 10:1 extract of the mushroom’s fruiting body packs a potent punch of nootropics designed to help support cognitive function.*

These are the types of stories we hear from our customers every day:

“I noticed the difference in mental activity in the first few days.”* – Jeff

“The day after taking it, I do feel a lot sharper! I noticed it the very first day after taking it! I gave it a month before writing this review because I do randomly have good days sometimes, and I wanted to rule out coincidences. But I am convinced it is working for me!”* – Arlene

While many people turn to stimulants like caffeine to try and enhance their concentration, functional mushrooms may be able to give you the boost in focus you’re looking for without the crash.*

2. Stress

Have you ever watched a TV show with a character who is so laid-back and calm no matter the situation you can’t help but laugh when you see them?

It’s funny because everyone gets stressed out occasionally; nobody stays cool 100% of the time.

And while stress is never fun, it happens sometimes and that’s normal.

But if you find yourself constantly stressed or know somebody who is, it may indicate a larger problem.

The Reishi mushroom, known for its adaptogenic properties, can help balance the body’s stress responses.*

“Adaptogenic” refers to substances that help the body manage stress by normalizing physiological processes and promoting a balanced homeostasis.

Clinical evaluations suggest that Reishi can lower elevated stress levels, promoting a more relaxed state of mind.*²

Dynamic Mushrooms is packed with 100 mg of this incredible fungi, along with another 100 mg in a 4:1 extract of Maitake—also studied for its role in helping modulate the body’s stress response.*

Together, these two adaptogenic mushrooms can provide a buffer against the physical and psychological impacts of stress.*

“These are amazing! Best mushrooms I have tried on the market. Fruiting bodies helped a lot with cognitive, stress, fatigue, and focus. Felt the results on day 2, been taking for three months now. Subscribed for monthly deliveries. Well worth it.”* – Jessica

3. Brain fog

“Helps with brain fog and concentration.”* – Geno

Brain fog isn’t technically a medical condition but rather a term describing symptoms that can affect one’s thinking ability.

If you’ve ever had feelings of confusion, forgetfulness, lack of focus, mental clarity, and decreased concentration, then you know exactly what brain fog is.

It can be caused by a variety of factors, including lack of sleep, stress, hormonal changes, diet, and medical conditions.

Hericium erinaceus (commonly known as Lion’s Mane mushroom) has been reported to have therapeutic activities related to the promotion of nerve and brain health.*³

By stimulating the production of nerve growth factor, Lion’s Mane can potentially clear mental clutter and enhance cognitive clarity, combatting brain fog symptoms.* This improvement in cognitive functioning is essential for mental clarity and effective thinking.*

Next Steps

Our customers use Dynamic Mushrooms to unlock the full power of their minds (among other health benefits).

The thousands of online reviews we’ve received continuously tell us this.

But what we want to know is:
