Talk "Functional Mushrooms: Powerful Adaptogens for Balance and Performance" by Inês Bleck

At the confluence of ancestral wisdom and modern science, functional mushrooms emerge as some of nature’s most powerful adaptogens, capable of helping the body manage stress and regulate the endocrine, nervous, and immune systems. The founder of VeryChaga, Inês Bleck, a specialist in functional mushrooms, invites you to explore how these natural substances promote homeostasis, enhance physical and mental vitality, and sustainably boost daily performance.

Studies show that bioactive compounds found in these mushrooms, such as beta-glucans and triterpenoids, can modulate immune responses and balance hormones associated with stress and energy, such as cortisol and adrenaline.

In Silicon Valley, it has become common to turn to species like Lion’s Mane for its ability to stimulate Nerve Growth Factor (NGF), while Reishi has been widely used to promote a state of calm and resilience to stress. Chaga stands out for its impressive antioxidant profile, contributing to metabolic balance and cellular protection.

This talk is designed for those who value innovation, knowledge, and optimized physical and mental performance. Join us on this journey through the fascinating world of functional mushrooms and discover how science and nature come together to promote longevity and resilience.
