Welcome to the Dr. Burg's Healthy Keto and Interminate Fasting Podcast, where Dr.

The health benefits of certain mushrooms are quite mind blowing.

So today, I'm going to take some of the confusions that people have about mushrooms and

just make it really, really simple.

So if you have a very specific health problem, you'll know exactly what to take.

Now, I'm going to primarily focus on four different types of mushrooms, okay?

But they're in the family of fungus, okay, or fungi.

And fungi is very interesting because there's more related DNA-wise to a fungus than there

is to plants.

In other words, like plants have photosynthesis, so they actually breathe in CO2 and they make oxygen.

Well, mushrooms, which is the top of fungus, don't do that.

They breathe in oxygen and release CO2 very similar to humans.

They actually share 50% of their DNA, which basically means they have certain blueprints

that make certain chemicals that we can use for the benefit of our own health.

So fungi is the largest and oldest organism on planet Earth.

In fact, in just one handful of soil from the forest, you have literally 26 miles of a

certain type of fungi called mycelium.

So there is a tremendous amount of fungus working in the soil with the roots of plants, exchanging

different nutrients to make sure that plant has the nutrients that it needs, and getting

certain sugars from the plants as their food.

And so really, it's a fungus that mobilizes the minerals in the soil.
