Top 12 Benefits of Fasting

Dr. Jockers
About this episode

"If you're looking for a way to boost focus, memory, and mental clarity, Mushroom might be exactly what you're looking for. Certain mushrooms contain a medicinal quality - called beta-glucans. And a 2012 review on products containing beta-glucans found they can help to naturally increase energy, reduce confusion, boost mood, improve recall and memory and increase vigor."

 

My go-to mushroom blend is Paleovalley NeuroEffect. It contains a potent blend of 8 whole mushrooms, without any grains or fillers like most products, and happily touts a beta-glucan level of at least 26%. PLUS, they've included organic coffee fruit extract that gives you the brain-boosting effects of coffee - without the jitters or crash you get with caffeine. Go to paleovallely.com/jockers and grab your NeuroEffect today for 15% off.
