Are you used to thinking of mushrooms and herbs purely as things to sprinkle on homemade pizza?! 

Then prepare to have your mind blown, because these two botanical beauties are actually powerful therapeutic tools that have been used for thousands of years to invigorate the body, restore organ health, build bulletproof immunity and bring harmony to the hormones.

To explore the magical world of ‘tonic herbalism’, I’m joined by the incredible Mason Taylor — tonic herbalist, founder of SuperFeast, and world renowned expert on using ancestral remedies to turbocharge health and protect the body from the diseases of the modern world.
