This is exactly in line with my own experience. I noticed that I had completely stopped thinking deeply and creatively as I used to, and it coincided with my use of social media as a mental "palate-cleanser" at work. I was filling

Many mushrooms have medicinal properties. Lion's Mane promotes BDNF, neural regeneration, remyelination. Others like Maitake, Turkey Tail, Chaga, Cordyceps, Shiitake, and Reishi support the immune system in incredible ways. Here's
