The Magic of Medicinal Mushrooms ft. Eversio

I’m actually so excited to be talking about medicinal mushrooms with you guys for many reason. Firstly, because I truly believe everyone should be aware and awoken to the magic of medicinal mushrooms and what they have to offer us in our every day lives, but mainly because I get to talk about one of my favourite Canadian companies who I adore very very much, Eversio! I’m always mind blown how little most people know about mushrooms and how disregarded they have become in our current health care system, but that’s why I’m talking about them! I’ll start with who Eversio is, and their story because it’s truly why I feel so connected to their message and brand and why I think you will too. Then I’ll share the magic that is behind medicinal mushrooms, and what their true purpose is and why we have become so disconnected from their true superpower as a society!

Eversio’s Story & What Makes Them Different

Eversio means change, they build their company with the intent to bring mushrooms and fungi into people lives to initiate change and new direction towards natural health & wellness remedies through their mushroom supplements. Through their incredible research and own personal experiences, Eversio knows you’re actually getting to the root cause of health problems with mushrooms and fungi, not just putting bandaids over them as we know many pharmaceuticals do. You might be thinking, yeah but how do these mushrooms actually do this? Don’t worry we will get into all the magic of medicinal mushrooms and how intelligent mushrooms really are. Eversio wasn’t just build over one night, it was actually through Brandi’s (cofounder + COO) personal experience with her own health that led her to the creation of Eversio. I’ll share a little bit about her story because honestly it amazes me still! You can listen to Brandi speak about this on this podcast episode, I’ll just recap below because I find in very inspiring! It’s no wonder why they make the best of the best products, I truly believe we go through what we go through in order for it to take us where were meant to go in life, and Brandi is the perfect example of this!

Brandi was incredibly healthy growing up, until she was 15 years old and began struggling with autoimmune diseases starting with psoriasis and later when she was 20 years ago it developed into psoriatic arthritis. She struggled with this as any one would especially at such a young age, as it completely impacted her quality of life and the life she knew she was capable of living. She visited her family doctor, as we all do in times like this and failed with 5-6 different pharmaceuticals that weren’t helping her. She was then fortunate enough to take part in a new study for a pharmaceutical that appeared to help her health conditions at the time for a couple years, although this was only putting a bandaid over the root cause, and over time led her to experiencing even more severe health conditions due to the side effects. This consisted of Brandi experiencing skin cancer 3 times, and a seizure that scared her enough into questioning what she was putting in her body. She had brain scans done after the seizure, and she explained that what she saw on her MRI made her stop taking the pharmaceutical right then and there. Her neurologist compared her brain to an 80 year old and asked her what she was doing…. Brandi then took her own health and healing into her own hands and knew she wasn’t going to allow her brain to go down this path, and decided she would rebuild her brain cells So she hit the books and dived into research with the intention to heal within, and she did just that. She kept coming across lion’s mane (medicinal mushroom) over and over and kept reading and researching it’s impact on the human body and brain, synchronistically her husband who trained for triathlons had too just begun taking cordyceps (medicinal mushroom) for natural stamina, energy and endurance and it’s what lead them both to the inspiration of Eversio.

Through their research they understood that the market lacked a product that could allow for what the research was saying to be experienced by people. They knew that if the medicinal mushrooms were made to be high quality, high potency and pure pharmaceutical grade people would begin to see and understand these profound changes in their lives through fungi. Now Eversio does just that.

Brandi was originally told that she would be taking this pharmaceutical for the rest of her life if she wanted any type of normalcy, but she couldn’t except this to be a part of her life, something that was so clearly not allowing her body to be in her optimal state. We too often give our power away in the health care system and to prescriptions, when we are offered health and protection right from fungi, a gift from mother nature that needs to be honoured over pharmaceuticals. I strongly believe this.

The Magic of Medicinal Mushrooms

Mushrooms have been around for billions of years, it’s no wonder they hold an astonishing intelligence and can quite literally function alongside the human body and brain when they are used! I’ve learned about mushrooms and their benefits from my own research, experiences, and from the Eversio Academy Course which you should definitely take if you want to have a deeper understanding of mushrooms! I found it so interesting, it’s so well put together by Brandi and it’s only about 1 hour long of such good content! I believe that every person can benefit from taking medicinal mushrooms, and after this course you will want to be taking them everyday! I know I do and it makes such a difference in my day!

Okay so what is it that mushrooms actually do that cause such incredible healing benefits and properties when we utilize them through a supplement like what Eversio does? Well mushrooms actually contain an incredibly beneficial compound called beta glucans which are very helpful when working in the human body and promote cellular uptake and I’ll explain how! We all have macrophages that operate in our immune system and their job is to swallow viruses, bacterias and infectious germs that are harmful to the body! Here is what is so astonishing to me, these macrophages quite literally have specific receptors built for these beta glucans found in mushrooms that work to stimulate our bodies activity of macrophages. The beta glucans in medicinal mushroom work alongside our immune systems because they actual go hand in hand with one another. It’s almost as though mother nature designed this perfectly for us. Brandi has said, if that’s not a sign we are meant to use these magical gifts from mother earth I don’t know what else is. Eversio’s products are top notch, they have an extremely high therapeutic grade of beta glucans, which is why a lot of what is currently in the market is lacking. A lot of other products unfortunately don’t prioritize enough high quality mushroom extract into the capsule to actually see medical results over time. You need to be taking a high dosage and quality for it to impact your body, that’s what makes Eversio’s products so different.

So let’s just get this straight one more time, so inside something that mother nature created for us we have the actual receptors for and they fit together like an actual puzzle piece inside our bodies to help us heal. The list goes on and on about how we benefit from medicinal mushrooms but just to name a few here is what happens when the beta glucans attach to our macrophage receptors and stimulate their activity in our immune system:

• macrophages literally cover cancer cells and remove them from our body, beta glucans support this (why I take them everyday)
• swallows harmful bacteria and virues from our body
• acts as natural defense protecting our immunse system that comes right from mother earth. Builds up and strengthens your immune system from within.
• beta glucans are a very powerful adaptogen, they know to kick in when stress levels are high and help reduce the damage of stress on the body and mind. Helping greatly with aging, and the prevention of neurodegenerative diseases that is linked to stress.
• beta glucans are one of the most abundant forms of polysaccharides, which means they act as a prebiotic helping with our gut health. We have more neurons in our gut than our brain…. so this is crucial to be in our optimal health, as our gut health is just as important as our brain health!
• powerful antioxidant: never aging component that I personally couldn’t live without. Prevents cell damage and inflammation in the body by neutralizing free radicals in the body
  • reduces lines and wrinkles on your skin & prevents neurodegenerative diseases
  • Ergothioneine known as the longevity vitamin in research, is an amino acid mainly found in mushrooms. This literally prevents wrinkles and the aging of skin and also helps with sun damage (I’m all for never aging skin!!!)

I’m not kidding when I say the list goes on. Eversio’s website is full of incredible research and information and I highly suggest taking the mushroom course linked here! Knowing what I know now about mushrooms and the research that exists out there, I would never rely on pharmaceuticals or something outside of what has already been created for us. Mushrooms can benefit us in our everyday lives in so many ways. I’m just so excited to see all the places Eversio goes! I could not imagine not incorporating Eversio’s products into my daily life! I also give my dogs twice a day sprinkled over there food!! Your fur babies can greatly benefit from medicinal mushrooms as well, check out this post here, and this as well to learn more about fungi and our pets!
