If you know me, you know I'm all about the intersection of food and functional medicine. Today, I had the pleasure of chatting with Kevin Weatherall, the founder of Rising Tide. This wonderful company is all about harnessing the power of functional mushrooms to create delicious organic coffee creamers and overnight oats. 

Kevin has been working in the natural food space for ten years, and in our conversation, he shares his insights on eating clean and feeling good. We discuss the different types of mushrooms and their benefits, how Rising Tide sources their mushrooms, and the best ways to incorporate them into your routine. We also touch on the difference between psychedelic mushrooms and functional mushrooms. Plus, Kevin shares his tips for small business owners and entrepreneurs passionate about wellness and Eastern practices.
