#034 – What wisdom can we learn from the Mushroom of Immortality?

Join us for an amazing conversation with Brandon Gilbert, founder of Hyperion Herbs.

In this episode, Brandon shares about the supportive and life-changing power of adaptogens and tonic herbs. He offers profound insight into the nature of Reishi, long known as the Mushroom of Immortality, and why it’s important to know plants and mushrooms in their natural, raw state. He also shares how his connection with Eastern Philosophy informs his life journey and experience with herbs.

Brandon Gilbert is the Founder of Hyperion Herbs, and he’s been studying Eastern philosophy since the age of 14. After experiencing the profound effect of tonic herbs, Brandon founded Hyperion Herbs to share purely potent tonic herbs and make them accessible and easily available.

He teaches classes and workshop on a variety of subjects ranging from alternative health, healing modalities, herbalism, internal arts, to Eastern philosophy, and he’s the founder of the YouTube channel HyperionTv.com.

Mushrooms and plants can be our allies to help us thrive in a society that doesn’t support optimal health. The philosophy and magic of Daoist tonic herbalism is here to help - with herbs for better sex, and herbs for a better life in general. 

This conversation is more of a casual hang out and discussion of life and sex, and I want to give you that heads up in case you’re coming here in search of a clearly outlined educational lecture on the topic of herbs for better sex. It’s not that… even though we do hit that topic really well in the last quarter of the episode. :)
