Hey everybody! Episode 81 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with Jeff Chilton. I had been wanting to bring on someone since this podcast's inception to speak about all of the different uses of mushrooms, from the nutritive, medicinal, and spiritual uses. So when I learned about Jeff and he agreed to come on, I was very happy as he really is the perfect person to speak on mushroom's behalf. He has been working with mushrooms for nearly fifty years. He owns a company supplying high-quality mushrooms to other companies and has lived, breathed, and studied mushrooms and all of their benefits. I was really excited as we spoke about ancient cultures, esoteric philosophies, religion, and how plants and mushrooms play a pivotal role in perhaps the essence of all of these. Jeff is a really good guy with a lot of wisdom and knowledge to share and I think you all will get a lot from this episode. On a technical note, the Zoom meeting for some reason only recorded Jeff's video and not mine, so you'll hear me asking questions but only see Jeff's video. Better that way than the other way!

In the late seventies, he was a founder of Mycomedia, which held 4 mushroom conferences in the Pacific Northwest. These educational conferences brought together educators and experts in mushroom identification, ethnomycology, and mushroom cultivation. During this period Jeff co-authored the highly acclaimed book, The Mushroom Cultivator. In the 1980’s he operated a mushroom spawn business and in 1989 he started Nammex, a business that introduced medicinal mushrooms to the US nutritional supplement industry. Since 1989, Nammex has pioneered the development and manufacture of mushroom extracts for the health and wellness industry.

Welcome back to "A Chat With Benedetta!" As we have touched on before, food and preventative care is key to holistically caring for your body, as well as your spirit. On this episode, we are joined by our newest guest Jeff Chilton, Founder of Nammex Organic Mushroom Extracts. We discussed the medicinal and nutritional benefits of mushrooms, and the understanding of "food as medicine"; the effort that goes into the production of organic mushroom extracts; and what to be beware of as a consumer in the supplement market! Jeff is a pioneer in the Organic Mushroom industry, and an advocate for educating consumers. Jeff's level of consciousness and understanding regarding quality control along with precise growing practices (as they pertain to each mushroom type), and analytical testing is, in Julia's opinion, unmatched. The takeaway from our chat with Jeff is one we warn our listeners about when it comes to good efficient care for your skin, and that is: "Buyer beware". Give it a listen and know more than you thought you knew about the health and medicinal value of mushrooms! You can find further educational reading on Jeff's website, https://www.nammex.com. Read more of his story in this excerpt from the Nammex website: "In 1983, after 10 years of commercial mushroom growing experience, Jeff co-authored and published the classic, bestselling book on small-scale mushroom cultivation, The Mushroom Cultivator. That same year he moved his family to British Columbia to start a mushroom spawn laboratory and small specialty mushroom growing facility. By 1989, after much research, it became clear that many of the specialty mushrooms had beneficial properties and this was the wave of the future. In 1989 Jeff made his first trip to China to attend the International Society for Mushroom Science's (ISMS) conference in Nanjing and he discovered the depth of mushroom knowledge and production capacity that China offered. The relationships Jeff built over the next 10 years laid the foundation that made Nammex a leader in the new category of health promoting mushrooms. This same year, 1989, Nammex was founded."
