Dr. Anna Sitkoff on Terrain-Supporting Mushrooms, Foundational Fungi, and The Ergothioneine Effect
Manage episode 515380888 series 3342251
Dr. Anna Sitkoff is a naturopathic physician and herbalist whose clinical and personal journey has been guided by a deep relationship with medicinal mushrooms. In this episode, she shares how her early exposure to natural medicine—and a life-changing experience with her father’s cancer treatment—sparked a decade-long exploration into the world of fungi.
Dr. Sitkoff unpacks the science and spirit of mushrooms: their role in restoring the body’s terrain through mitochondrial repair, gut balance, and nervous system regulation, how ergothioneine functions as a cellular protector, and why not all mushroom supplements are created equal. We also explore the intersection of psychedelics and healing, motherhood and mycology, and what it means to truly “become one with the mushroom.”
If you’ve ever wondered how these ancient organisms support everything from detoxification to emotional resilience, this conversation offers a grounded, eye-opening look at the power of mushrooms to support the healing of both body and mind.
