Visiting Scholars Program with Lee Carroll From Real Mushrooms
October 8 @ 5:30 pm - 8:00 pm MST
Beyond Lion’s Mane: Mushrooms and the Future of Cognitive Health
This evidence-based course examines the role of mushrooms in supporting cognitive health and healthy aging. Participants will explore research on mushroom consumption and cognitive outcomes, review the neuroprotective potential of key compounds such as beta-glucans and ergothioneine, and evaluate the clinical evidence for Lion’s Mane mushroom and pure mycelium in mild cognitive impairment and age-related cognitive decline. Practical strategies for incorporating culinary mushrooms and Lion’s Mane preparations into patient care plans will also be discussed.
