While visiting China, I discovered folks there knew more about food’s medicinal properties than I did - even after many years of research. Medicinal foods are a part of their everyday diet and mushrooms play a huge role within Chinese medicine. Reishi, lion’s mane, chaga and cordyceps contain powerful healing properties that boost your immune system and support healthy hormone production. Mushrooms are anti-viral and anti-inflammatory to support healthy liver function, optimized cholesterol levels and contain anti-cancer benefits. One of my favorite ways to have mushrooms is in a Four Sigmatic mushroom latte, and today, I get to share the recipe with you! This latte features lion's mane mushrooms, which are known as cognitive enhancers and have been shown to support memory and concentration. This is great way to get that mid-day mental boost without a cup of coffee.
