Chaga Mushroom: Immune Enhancing Superfood

in Cleanse, Health Tips, Love Yourself Naked, Naked Nutrition, Recipes, What I eat on 10/25/16

I have a secret tea I drink often that I want to share with you. It impacts the immunity of your body probably more than most any other item we can consume.  I suppose it is not that big of a secret, I share it with my clients and in the My Nutrition 360 Group, but it’s not a very commonly talked about tea or food item that you hear about in mainstream health. It needs to be though! I’ll share it with you in a bit, it’s called the Chaga Mushroom. Before I get into it, I want you to know why this is so important.

When we feel low energy, under the weather or notice we are getting sick, we often think about adding in some more Vitamin C, Zinc or probiotics… at least I hope you do, because those are great tools for your “immune-boosting tool kit”.

You may also want to consider removing sugar and processed foods, which leads to low immunity and candida overgrowth in your body and therefore causing colds.  Click here to register for the My Nutrition 360 Group to help you do that.
Fermented foods such as raw sauerkraut or kimchi provide preventative health care of your gut, helping to do the repopulating of your healthy bacteria that your body desperately needs to keep your immune system strong.

Did you know that most of your immune system lives in your abdominal region? Keeping it healthy is essential to avoid getting sick.

img_2567So when we overdo the processed, packaged and refined foods – it takes a toll on our gut health. In addition to sugar, other things like white carbs, gluten, GMO foods like corn and soy and artificial ingredients… these really lower our immunity.

Over time, our adrenal glands begin to suffer, which can lead us to worse issues with sugar cravings, getting sick often, headaches, belly bloat, sleep problems and more.

CHAGA.

So people have called Chaga, “The Gift From God”. It’s been used all over the world (Siberia, China, Japan) for thousands of years because of it’s all powerful ability to impact the body in ways that one food source usually doesn’t.   I heard of Chaga because it is grown in Northern Michigan, north of where I live within the state. I bought it after pregnancy to help heal my body and I’ve been drinking it for most of 7 years now.

Chaga has changed my life. I’ll explain how and where you can buy it below.

It is a mushroom, but it looks more like a piece of tree bark and it’s just as hard… I need to use a small saw to cut the large Chaga chunks in half at times.

Chaga contains the force of actual trees – and that is powerful. Think about how long trees live… thousands of years and therefore Chaga gives you longevity and a concentrated power that contains B vitamins, flavonoids, phenols, minerals and enzymes.  It’s also one of the world’s densest sources of pantothenic acid – this vitamin is needed by the adrenal glands as well as digestive organs.

It also has riboflavin and niacin in significant amounts and Chaga is rich in phenols. These phenols are also called a chromogenic complex, which means that it is highly protective for all tissues in your body.

The neat thing is that this is only found in Chaga.

img_2576Superfood:

There is more – Chaga also has minerals that come from the wild, such as copper, calcium, potassium, manganese, zinc and iron and it has an ingredient that is super powerful, which is why I call it a super food, it’s called Superoxide Dismutase (SOD).

Anti-aging and longevity:

Superoxide Dismutase  – this is an enzyme, found in Chaga, that is so powerful because it stops oxidation, especially the toxicity of a free radical known as singlet oxygen.  This particular oxygen (singlet) damages tissues and makes us age.

Stress response:

There are things called adaptogens that modify your body’s response to stress and this is so important, consider the stress the average person is under in our world.

When you take adaptogens each day, typically in the form of herbs, you will greatly improve your mental and physical work capacity.

Chaga is actually found to be the most powerful of all adaptogens.

Yes! THE MOST POWERFUL!

The fact that we know that most 80% of diseases are due to stress, that makes Chaga even more potent.

I have helped support myself and my clients with Chaga tea. M clients and I can testify to Chaga being one of the key items in helping to turn things around with our health.

Chaga has been known to help with the flu, viruses, stomach disease, intestinal worms, liver ailments, cancer, AIDS, metabolism, longevity, adrenal fatigue, thyroid issues, blood pressure, immunity, diabetes and all around good health.

I love that it is grown in Northern Michigan Forests – my home state. It’s also grown all around the world.

How to buy Chaga:

When you order Chaga through my Amazon account, I get a small portion and that money goes directly back into this business to help fund this blog and future research on products that I use personally and 100% believe in before I refer to you.  So if you want to buy Chaga today, click here to do so from my Amazon store. Thanks for your support.

I personally buy Chaga in chunks.

You can also buy it as a ground powder or in a tincture (I also like the tincture).

I have seen Chaga Tea bags sold, but I assume those are not near as powerful as you are usually not getting it in it’s purest form. Yes, it’s cheaper but not as powerful.


img_2583How often:

You can enjoy Chaga Tea daily and up to 2-3 times each day.  For treating illness and disease, always contact your health care practitioner or send me a message to set up a consultation by clicking here.

How to make Chaga Tea:

Chaga is sun dried and broken down into chunks. You can either grind it down using a saw and mortar or you can steep the chunks.

Use a large stock pot that you do not care about staining – Chaga will stain your stainless steel pot.

Fill up the large pot about 1/2 way and take out 2-3 large chunks and bring to a boil. Then let the Chaga simmer on low heat for 2-3 hours.

img_2579Drain the Chaga mushrooms out of the “chaga mushroom tea” and put them into a glass covered in water. You can reuse these mushrooms to boil 1-2 more times in the weeks ahead. Store in the refrigerator always.

I store the tea in large mason jars in my fridge.

I drink Chaga plain.

It’s helped people stop drinking so much coffee.

At times I add a little hemp milk, cacao powder and raw honey and make a “Hot Chocolate Chaga” – this is my son’s favorite and boosts his immune system too.

You can also sweeten with small amounts of honey (raw honey is recommend).

Mushroom love,

Renee

Good morning ☀️ Good morning ☀️
When I look back on my life and consider the relat When I look back on my life and consider the relationships I attracted back then (that happened to be the most toxic or trauma bonded) it was for two big reasons.

1) unconscious seeking for security in things/people/sources outside of me.

Old Belief: “Once I have this, I will be safe. I will feel secure, everything will be okay”

Our security and safety come mostly from within. Certainly, more money or the next “magic pill” or quick fix or relationship can inspire some security, for a while...

It will not last or it will feel like a toxic relationship for as long as we are not Sourced in security and grounded within ourself. 

Note: we often need to look at the “bully’s, emotional abusive or passive aggressive relationships to see this. 
This could be with others or with yourself! Yes, you can “bully” yourself.

2) using things outside of me to cope due to dysregulated nervous system. (This is often not conscious to us at first)

Old belief: “once I have this it will help me “feel better”

These coping mechanisms work for a short while, until they do not anymore. 

(Food, the next “diet or workout plan”, the next shopping spree or purchase, drugs, alcohol, work, relationship, pharmaceuticals, etc)

We won’t be able to hold these things with any balance with a nervous system and emotional system that is dysregulated. 

Your nervous system is a complex network of neurons...
Basically, it’s the control center of your body!

All of your muscles, glands, sensations, smells, hearing, taste, touch, higher self are telling your body what to do.

Your nervous system is interpreting your body’s responses constantly.

We use things outside of us to try and regulate when we feel “out of balance” and sometimes those things just don’t serve us.

The crazy thing is: we will think the solution is in this “thing we need to have ASAP” and the solution we seek actually has nothing to do with “the thing”.

We’ve been taught the wrong way. 
Answers to things rarely come from outside of us.

Many of us were not taught about our nervous system and how it’s impacted by childhood trauma and how it’s the core reason we create a lot of the situations we are in (good or bad).
👇🏽👇🏽
Fantastic question....? Because big profits do no Fantastic question....?

Because big profits do not historically come from healthy people (when it comes to selling the anecdotes to their pain, anyway)

Because healthy people aren’t as easy to manipulate.

Because individuals with strong immune systems need less pharmaceuticals. This impacts Big Pharma’s profits and entire way of business.

Because mandating (I actually don’t like that word, but it works here) ... mandating vitamins and minerals would empower health and individual choice to choose health for one self.  Large corporations selling big pharmaceuticals, large amounts of sugar, fast food and factory and processed foods do not want empowered people because they are harder to sell to.
And big government structures that are run by unethical people can manipulate people who are vitamin deficient, because they get sicker more quickly.
What if your desire to get the lasting results you What if your desire to get the lasting results you’ve always wanted with your life (food, body, relationships, financial) was not about giving more attention to these things? 

What if your attention to the boring nothingness of life began to outweigh the attention you give to all the things you want right now?

Sounds silly, right?! 
Maybe backwards from what we've been taught culturally. 

We were taught to break free from life-long patterns of discontent by consuming information outside of us: learning, doing, pushing, striving.

And yet, it's not working so well, right?  At least not long-term. 

There is a place for education outside of us, yes, however, it doesn't do much for a nervous system that cannot hold the complexity of how we want to grow and evolve within that education and new wisdom.

People are trying to learn to "be still" and calm down their anxiety and maybe even meditate but their bodies cannot hold it yet. 
They struggle! 

So when your physical body and nervous system regulates...
 
Your whole game is changed as you learn to be with yourself. 
To be in your body, with your emotions and nervous system differently than you ever have before. 

Then your system can hold the capacity for the change you have always wanted. 

Make sense?

Love,
Renee

(I know, I’m posting a day late)

After taking a purposeful and committed 2 years off of dating and romantic relationships, I opened myself up to dating last year (a 2020 version of it, 😉 ). 

During that time, a friend reached out to me and asked if he could give my phone number to a single friend of his.
I said yes. 
After a while, it felt strange to date others, so I stopped. 

Now, 7 months later and I don’t want to hide now 😉 

Meet Matt. ❤️ We are extremely compatible in all the ways and have so much fun together. Our purposes feel aligned and so does our relationship. So now you know ✨
