    Medicinal and functional mushrooms have been on the rise over the past few years but what do they actually do? Ashley Southard, the Co-Founder and CEO of Mushroom Design, takes us to Mushroom School explaining all the different kinds of benefits, the dangers of overdosing on mushrooms, the difference by psychedelic and functional mushroom plus why her brand Mushroom Design is patented to be one of the most bioavailable ways to ingest functional mushrooms.  Mushroom Design is an innovative nutraceutical mushroom brand that inspires a better quality of life for humans—has been an avid believer in seeking natural, alternative healing remedies for years. After receiving alarming inflammation results in her bloodwork in 2020, Ashley, along with Co-Founder Jonathan Glinski, sought to change the medicinal mushroom industry by creating the first-ever mushroom multi-vitamin, properly dosed. The concept of Mushroom Design was conceived with the intent to “not preach to the choir,” but rather educate the masses on the immune-boosting and cognitive-enhancing benefits of medicinal mushrooms—without compromising the quality or the environment.  Join The ISAL Newsletter Join ISAL Insiders here.
