Being a mom is awesome, but it has its challenges. I wouldn’t change it for the world, but some days there just doesn’t seem to be enough time in the day or enough hours of sleep.

Four Sigmatic is a mushroom enhanced coffee that has taken the market by storm. Medicinal mushrooms have been brought into the mainstream and are made more accessible for a popular audience. A mushroom coffee is reported to have two main benefits. The first, is increased focus and concentration that comes from the (roughly)  40 milligrams of caffeine and perhaps also the rhodiola rose.

The second is reduced inflammation, boosted immune system response and nerve growth increase.

Here are some benefits I experienced:

1. It actually tastes like regular coffee, not some weird mushroom flavor like you would expect.

2. One cup packs a more powerful than regular coffee… without jitters or acidity

3. Lion’s mane mushroom is a brain’s best friend and it spurs creativity (great for days filled with running errands or working from home!)

4. Chaga mushrooms add daily immune support

5. Wild Rhodiola root inside it helps to keep me focused and calm (we all could benefit here)

6. Less caffeine but more brain boost thanks to the mushrooms!

There’s a lot of research to support using these medicinal mushrooms for cognitive performance. The lion’s mane mushroom has been used for hundreds of years and there are studies that show it can improve GF or nerve growth factor that can improve neurological connections. These are associated with memory improvements, learning enhancements etc.
I use it mostly for is just an enjoyable relaxing or somewhat stimulating drink beverage that I can enjoy in a social setting, which is really important. Spending all day taking capsules is nowhere near as exciting!
