It’s time for another Community Q&A show! As a reminder, all of these questions are pulled from The Life Stylist Podcast Facebook Group. Hop in, search for us, and find an amazing community of like-minded people.

Before we begin, let me remind you that I am not a medical doctor, so please check with a professional before undergoing any alternative or experimental therapy. I am just sharing with you everything I’ve learned over my own journey and doing 300 episodes of this podcast.

08:08 — Cindy asks: I’m wanting to do some mushroom micro dosing and realize the source and quality is very important. Does anyone know of a reputable place where I could purchase this online?

• Microdosing is where you take generally 1/10 or 2/10 of a gram of mushrooms for cognitive benefit
• Much research is currently underway to prove the benefits. There is also a lot of legislative action moving toward legalization
• As of now, psilocybin mushrooms are illegal almost everywhere
• The best thing you can do is ask around, as many people grow them at home these days. Check out online forums, or seek out like minded people in your community that are into plant medicines, etc., such as breathwork classes, sound baths, etc.

• The iron issue is very complex because traditional medicine has a very antiquated view on iron level recommendations
• Research Morely Robbins, and consider doing his Root Cause Protocol and read his iron toxicity posts. He’s been on a ton of podcasts as well, and will hopefully be on this show soon.
• I would study the work Ray Peatand about the common misconceptions of low iron
• Depending on which type of doctor has determined you need more iron, the only way I’m aware of to naturally get more of it is to eat red meat, on the rare side
• You can also take beef liver capsules, which I’ll talk about shortly

17:08 — Mark asks: Does your OOLER or chiliPAD ever create wet spots on your sheets?

• I have had the chiliPAD and OOLER for a few years and have never had this issue. If that is the case, you might have a leak. They have excellent customer service, so definitely reach out to them for...
