JTG#47 Adaptogenic Mushrooms & Plants To Support Your Immune System with Clinical Herbalist & Mycologist Danielle Ryan

 

In this episode of the Journey to Glow podcast we talk to Danielle Broida Ryan, Mycologist and Clinical Herbalist, about adaptogenic mushrooms and plants to support the immune system.

 

The focus of our conversation? As always, it’s about empowerment.

 

We want to empower you to take your health into your own hands.

 

The main theme of this podcast is about using herbs and plants to support you from the inside-out as opposed to “defend against”. This shift alone has the power to keep you safe and sane during any challenges.

 

Before you dive into the content, I want to remind you that it is your responsibility to talk to your doctor (functional or conventional) if you need guidance should you want to try any herbs and mushrooms mentioned in this episode.

 

About our guest

 

Danielle is a Registered Herbalist (RH) of the American Herbalists Guild (AHG), Certified Holistic Nutritionist and National Educator at Four Sigmatic. Prior to joining forces with Four Sigmatic, she received her BA in Environmental Studies and Philosophy from Whitman College.

 

She studied Ayurveda in India and became a Certified Yoga Instructor on the banks of the Ganges River. She then worked with a Naturopathic Doctor in Indonesia where she became a Certified Raw Chef and Detox Coach. But it was leading trekking adventures into the backcountry of Thailand where she became particularly fascinated by herbal medicine.

 

After several years in Asia, she landed in Boulder, Colorado to formalize her education in holistic medicine. Upon completing her graduate studies at the Colorado School of Clinical Herbalism (CSCH), she opened a private practice, Danielle Ryan Wellness, where she worked with hundreds of clients across the US, specializing in treatment for individuals with autoimmune conditions and chronic illness. She was invited to become the Instructor of Mycology at CSCH, where she still teaches.

 

Danielle brings her passion and expertise in herbal medicine, clinical practice, teaching, formulation, and her deep love for fungi, to the Everyday Magic™ of Four Sigmatic as their National Educator.

 

In her free time, you can find her outside—whether under the sun or stars, summer heat or winter snow. She’ll either be gardening, foraging, cooking plant-based recipes, rock climbing, hiking, skiing, surfing, or scuba diving.

 

In this episode we cover:

 

What are functional mushrooms and how they differ from “regular” mushrooms we find at the grocery store Why Chaga is dubbed The King Of Mushrooms and why it’s Danielle go-to to support her immune system Reishi, The Queen of adaptogenic mushrooms: how to take this powerhouse to support your immune system in your everyday life Why medicinal mushrooms come from China How to make sure you are buying real medicinal mushrooms and what to look for on a company’s website to make sure you are getting the highest quality The difference between stimulants (such as echinacea) and modulators (such as adaptogenic mushrooms) and how to use them properly Danielle’s top herbs to build the body’s resiliency and stamina How to energy test or use a pendulum to figure out if a supplement is right for you
