Hifas da Terra: living without illness

Catalina Fernández · Fundadora de Hifas da Terra

Maybe we're ignoring nature's most powerful medicine: mushrooms. Today we talk with Catalina Fernández de Ana, founder of Hifas da Terra, about how she has revived 5,300-year-old ancestral knowledge to revolutionise modern health. In this episode we discover the hidden power of fungi: from how Lion's Mane can regenerate your brain and gut, to the mushroom that gives you 30% more oxygen in your blood. Catalina tells us the B-side of building a biotech company when no one believed in her, and how "preventive medicine" is the only answer to a collapsed healthcare system.
