Episode Summary

             Today, nearly a year into the Covid pandemic, we’re going to need all the nutrients we can get our hands on to boost our immune systems. One such nutrient called beta-glucan is one thing we can take to really strengthen our immune systems. And guess where we can get the beta-glucan from? Mushrooms. That’s right, mushrooms are an excellent source of immune-boosting beta-glucan (among other amazing health benefits!)

In this episode of This Podcast Burns Fat, we’re talking to mushroom man Jeff Chilton to talk a little bit about mushrooms, their health benefits, and how we can leverage the nutrient-dense fungi to lose weight!
