Episode 257: Functional Mushrooms for Your Cycle
If you’ve tried cycle syncing before and felt overwhelmed, confused, or unsure if it was actually doing anything, this episode is for you. Cycle syncing isn’t meant to be another rigid protocol or checklist, it’s meant to help you work with your body, not against it.
In this episode I’m chatting with Eversio Wellness Co-Founder Brandi Garden, and Dr. Desiree Caruso, Naturopathic Physician, who are breaking down how to use medicinal mushrooms to support each phase of your cycle in a simple, intuitive, and hormone-supportive way that actually feels nourishing instead of stressful.
In this episode we’re sharing:
Why cycle syncing with mushrooms works so well for hormone balance
How medicinal mushrooms act as adaptogens to stabilize stress, blood sugar, and energy throughout the month
Exactly which mushrooms support each phase of your cycle (menstrual, follicular, ovulatory, and luteal) and why
Why Reishi is so powerful during your period for rest, immune support, and nervous system regulation
How Lion’s Mane supports brain function and creativity during your follicular and ovulatory phases, even when taken at night
Why Cordyceps can reduce caffeine dependence, improve energy, and ease PMS during the luteal phase
How Maitake supports blood sugar and insulin sensitivity when cortisol naturally runs higher
What to do if your cycle is irregular, unpredictable, or you’re not currently bleeding
How to start cycle syncing without buying everything at once, and why it’s more cost-effective than you think
Why symptoms aren’t something to fix, but feedback your body is giving you—and how cycle syncing helps you respond
Cycle syncing is not about perfection, timing everything down to the day, or doing “one more thing” to fix your hormones. It’s about listening, responding, and giving your body the support it’s asking for in each phase. This episode will help you simplify cycle syncing, feel more grounded in your body, and use mushrooms as a tool to support hormones, energy, mood, and resilience, without turning your wellness routine into another source of stress.
