Episode 306: Non-Pharma Payroll: The Origin of Hyphae Wellness - Special Guest: Nick Ciufo

Welcome to the one year anniversary of FIVE DOLLAR BUZZ.  This is our 46th episode and we're happy that it drops on the very same day as our first. 

 

What do you think you know about mushrooms? You know there are mushrooms you can eat, mushrooms that make you high and mushrooms that can kill you.  What do you know about the medicinal properties of mushrooms? Chaga mushrooms help aging, inflammation, and lowering cholesterol. Lion's Mane helps with cognition, memory and concentration. Reishi helps with sleep, anxiety, depression and focus.  

 

There is a Pacific-Northwest company that features prominently in mushroom cultivation and creating various products including tinctures, sprays, gummies and raw. Their name is Hyphae Wellness (www.gethyphae.com) and they are a leading non-pharmaceutically sponsored manufacturer and supplier of all of these wonderful products and MORE...

 

Hyphae Wellness has a sister company called TAO Gardens (www.taogardens.com), a sustainable, holistic, no-till marijuana grower.  As it says, they also cultivate, manufacture and supply various strains of high-grade cannabis. 

 

Now, put the two together...and you have a wellness kit that delivers medicinal mushrooms with a solid buzz to help ease you into whatever direction your body and mind want to go. What got our immediate attention is that the mushroom helps the cannabis act quicker in gummies, from what is usually 45 minutes to five minutes.  Hell yes.  No more eating seven weed cookies because "you don't feel it yet," after you ate the first two.  That'll teach you.

 

So, finish your creamy mushroom pasta, swallow a few gummies, kick your feet up and take a listen as we talk with COO and Co-Founder of both Hyphae Wellness and TAO Gardens, Mr. Nick Ciufo, as he talks about all things mushrooms and weed, about how his company does it better, the unique delivery system they have in place and where they plan on going in the future.
