On this episode, I'm interviewing medical mushroom pioneer Jeff Chilton! With over 40 years of experience in the medicinal (non-hallucinogenic) mushroom industry, Jeff is looking to spread his wealth of knowledge about our fungi friends and their incredible health benefits! In the late 60s after studying Ethno-mycology (the study of human-fungal interactions) at the University of Washinton Jeffbegan a career as a large-scale commercial mushroom grower. From there, with a lack of medicinal mushrooms and extracts available in the US market, he founded Nammex, the first certified organic mushroom extract and supplement company in the US. To this day Jeff continues to spread awareness of all the incredible health benefits mushrooms can have on the human body and to inform the public that most mushroom extracts on the market aren't even real!

Mushrooms can be magical, medicinal, and delicious! This week on the show, I speak with two experts on the cultivation of medicinal mushrooms for the nutritional supplement industry. We examine the qualities of mushrooms and discuss the differences between fruiting bodies (mushrooms) grown on logs and vegetative bodies (mycelia) grown on grains. The way your supplement ingredients are grown and processed is key to the final quality and health value of the product! We break down the scientific nuance into some simple steps for listeners to use when searching for real mushroom extracts on the marketplace. #Nammex #mushroom #healthfood #supplement

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 this episode of A New Way of Living, I interview Jeff Chilton about medicinal mushrooms, mycelium, and the new wave of psychedelics.    Jeff was raised in the Pacific Northwest, studied ethno-mycology at the University of Washington in the late sixties and started working on a commercial mushroom farm in Olympia, Washington in 1973. During the next 10 years he became the production manager, responsible for the cultivation of over 2 million pounds of agaricus mushrooms per year and was also involved in the research and development of shiitake, oyster and enoki mushrooms which resulted in the earliest US fresh shiitake sales in 1978.   During this period Jeff co-authored the highly acclaimed book, The Mushroom Cultivator, which was published in 1983. 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. He traveled extensively in China during the 1990's, attending conferences and visiting research facilities and mushroom farms. In 1997 he organized the first organic mushroom production seminar in China.   Jeff's company, Nammex was the first to offer a complete line of Certified Organic mushroom extracts to the US nutritional supplement industry.

What is your perception of mushrooms? Have you ever read any studies or listened to any podcast episodes explaining the health benefits of mushrooms?   If not, this is the episode for you because Jeff Chilton is joining me to tell us all about his career, his journey, how he learned about everything to do with the mushroom industry, and more.   With over 40 years of experience in the medicinal (non-hallucinogenic) mushroom industry, Jeff is looking to spread his wealth of knowledge about our fungi friends and their incredible health benefits!    In the late 60s after studying Ethno-mycology (the study of human-fungal interactions) at the University of Washinton Jeff began a career as a large-scale commercial mushroom grower. From there, with a lack of medicinal mushrooms and extracts available in the US market, he founded Nammex, the first certified organic mushroom extract and supplement company in the US. To this day Jeff continues to spread awareness of all the incredible health benefits mushrooms can have on the human body and to inform the public that most mushroom extracts on the market aren't even real!   We cover the nutritional and medicinal benefits of mushrooms, why everyone should use mushrooms as preventative medicine, how to make sure you choose the right mushroom, and more, so listen closely because mushrooms might be something you need to consider on your own health journey!   Resources Mentioned:  www.nammex.com www.realmushrooms.com   I would love to connect on Facebook or Instagram!   Show notes available at www.drerinkinney.com/45

Healthcast, I sit down with Jeff Chilton, President of Nammex Organic Mushroom Extracts. Nammex was the first company to offer a complete line of Certified Organic Mushroom Extracts to the US nutritional supplement industry. Jeff's career in the mushroom industry spans over 4 decades and he knows everything there is to know about mushrooms/mushroom extracts and how you can benefit from this amazing medicinal food! Tune in!

Our guest on this episode of The Live Well Podcast is a trailblazer when it comes to medicinal mushrooms, and he is one of the original people who brought medicinal mushrooms to the US market. Jeff Chilton studied ethnomycology at the University of Washington in the late 1960s. He then pursued work on a commercial mushroom farm in the late ‘70s. He is the founder of Mycomedia, and started the company, Nammex -- a company that provides certified organic mushroom extracts. We'll deep dive into all things mushrooms, and Jeff will speak more about the nutritional benefits and medicinal uses. We also discuss things you should think about when you're choosing a mushroom supplement or adding them to your cooking or recipes. This is one insightful episode that you shouldn't miss!  Where to find Jeff Chilton:Nammex: www.nammex.comReal Mushrooms: www.realmushrooms.com

When you hear the word superfood, what do you think of? Probably kale. Goji berries. Green tea. Turmeric. Countless others. But what about mushrooms? Mushrooms have historically not held a prominent place among the list of superfoods. But if you take a closer look, I think you'll find that the humble mushroom actually has a lot going for it. A single cup of whole white mushrooms - like the kind you usually see at grocery stores - contains just 21 calories, but around 16% of the recommended daily value of selenium and 33% of the daily value of vitamin D. They are relatively high in potassium and low in sodium, and they are a decent source of essential amino acids given their caloric density. But of course, the most compelling benefits of mushrooms do not show up on a nutrition label. Edible mushrooms are rich in polyphenols, and the antioxidants glutathione and ergothioneine. Mushrooms are also an excellent source of a class of polysaccharide called glucans. Glucans can also regulate the immune system, and this is where mushrooms really shine. For instance, children who were given a supplement with beta-glucan from mushrooms showed significantly higher levels of natural killer cells than those given placebo, and were also significantly less likely to develop a respiratory infection. Mushrooms have been underappreciated. Which is why Dan was pleased to welcome Jeff Chilton to the show. Jeff is sort of a trailblazer in the area of medicinal mushrooms. He recognized the unique value of mushrooms to human health long before most people. Jeff studied ethnomycology - historical uses and sociological impact of fungi - at the University of Washington in the late 1960s, then went on to work on a commercial mushroom farm in 1973. Over the following decade, he became the production manager, responsible for the cultivation of over 2 million pounds of agaricus mushrooms per year. He was also involved in the research and development of shiitake, oyster, and enoki mushrooms, which ultimately resulted in the earliest sales of fresh shiitake mushrooms in the US in 1978. Fast-forward to 1989: Jeff founded Nammex, a business that introduced medicinal mushrooms to the US nutritional supplement industry. Nammex extracts are now used by many supplement companies, and are noted for their high quality based on analysis of the active compounds. Given his background, it is hard to think of a more qualified person to speak to about the mushroom industry, and the health-promoting power of mushrooms. Check out the interview to learn more!

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."

Ep 32: Medicinal mushrooms are so amazing, but what are they exactly? And why are they so revered? On this episode we learn all about them from a mushroom expert who's been in the business for almost 50 years.  Jeff Chilton's been a key figure in creating the booming medicinal mushroom market. He's also the owner of Nammex, the first ever to offer a line of certified organic mushroom extracts in the U.S. that are now used by many supplement companies. His journey began right after college while working on a mushroom farm where he worked for 10 years. There he met a Japanese scientist who taught him all about medicinal mushrooms, which had been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for thousands of years. He then went on to attend conferences and expos all over the world educating people on the benefits of mushrooms, eventually forming his own organic extract company in 1989, selling the highest quality ingredients to nutraceutical and supplement companies around the world. Jeff's been instrumental in educating the world about mushrooms and is basically the reason medicinal mushrooms are where they are today!  We learn about all the different types of medicinal mushrooms, their benefits, how mushrooms grow, what they are exactly, and how they're structured. We also chat about his upbringing, how he got to where he is today, as well as labeling laws and why reading labels and quality matter so much!  Jeff and his son Skye also started Real Mushrooms, a company selling medicinal mushroom extract direct to the consumer.   www.nammex.com www.realmushrooms.com   www.therefinedhippie.com IG: @therefinedhippie

Jeff found his passion for mushroom quite young. He grew up searching for mushrooms in the forest of Seattle and studied mycology in College. He terms his study ‘Ethnomycology' and began learning how to grow mushrooms on a large mushroom farm in Seattle (2 million pounds every year!) Jeff spent years traveling, researching and implementing organic mushroom-growing techniques around the globe before starting his company, Nammex, in 1989. Nowadays, Jeff uses his extensive knowledge to identify the best organic mushrooms that will produce superior wellness results. In this interview, Jeff teaches us how to find and select mushroom products while describing the advantages of mushrooms that are grown organically and much more!   We Discuss What are Agaricus mushrooms? Some history of ‘magic' mushrooms (psilocybin) and how they were used in ceremonies for healing. What are Medicinal Mushrooms and how are they used and how much should one take to get said results?

Jeff Chilton, raised in Pacific Northwest, studied ethno-mycology at the University of Washington in the late sixties. In 1973 he started work on a commercial mushroom farm in Olympia, Washington. During the next 10 years he became the production manager, responsible for the cultivation of over 2 million pounds of Agaricus mushrooms per year. He was also involved in the research and development of shiitake, oyster and enoki mushrooms which resulted in the earliest U.S. fresh shiitake sales in 1978.
