Summary

Join me for this podcast interview with Dr. Christopher Hobbs as we discuss the health benefits of mushrooms. The benefits are vast, and when you consider that you can easily grow mushrooms at home (or forage for them nearly everywhere), it gets even more exciting. Ever since I found healing from stomach acid and ulcers by changing the food I ate, I've continued down the rabbit hole of using our food and herbs as medicine. Join me with Dr. Hobbs as we discuss the best mushrooms for their medicinal purposes, the benefits of consuming mushrooms, and how mushrooms may be a great way to get some extra prebiotic fiber into our diets.

American Blossom Linens: I want to thank American Blossom Linens for sponsoring this podcast. You may think of linens and bedsheets as a basic item, but they're a staple in most homes. If you want heirloom quality sheets that will last a lifetime, American Blossom Linens is for you. I've found in many areas of the homestead, by investing in higher quality items (yes, they generally cost more up front), I inevitably save money in the long run. This is definitely true for my sheet set from American Blossom Linens. I’ve had my sheets for two and a half years and they’re only getting softer and softer.

2:11.4	also want to say that we can learn things from people who may have different views from us and that is completely okay. But on the same side, I also feel like it's
2:27.6	important to talk a little bit about what will be the elephant in the room perhaps when you listen to this episode and this is probably more tailored to my long-term listeners.
2:41.0	Thank you so much for those of you who have been hanging out with me and let me know things that you want to learn about on the show. I totally appreciate your feedback. But as a homesteader and therefore most of you who listen into this,
