WHY
In 2019 my Aunt Laura lost her life to ovarian cancer at the age of 50, a year later my aunt Katherine was diagnosed with severe bone and blood cancer, my dad acting as her stem cell donor. The world was shutting down from the beginnings of a pandemic, and my nervous system was in overdrive. I sought a way to heal my family with ancient medicine, in hopes of bringing peace to myself and the people around me.
What I read about mushrooms, herbs, and adaptogens, and their effects on the body left me wanting to share their powers with everyone, and ultimately led to the creation of our first product. A Cacao blend with seven functional mushrooms, Ashwaganda, and Maca root. No added sugars, fillers, or preservatives.
It really is just Cacao, Lucuma, Date, a LOT of high quality mushrooms powders in the perfect ratio for everyone you love to enjoy, as its own thing, or add to your morning drink, bake with it, put it into yogurt or energy balls, the possibilities are endless.
The point is that you are consuming things that love you as much you love them, and we are all together bringing back ancient products and rituals to help us survive the modern world.
That's the mission.
INGREDIENTS + BENEFITS
CACAO
(Theobroma - “Food of the Gods”)
Cacao has been revered for over 3,000 years by the Olmec, Maya, and Aztec civilizations, who considered it a sacred heart-opening plant and even used it as currency. Traditionally consumed as a bitter ceremonial drink, cacao is rich in magnesium, flavonoids, and compounds like theobromine, that gently enhance circulation and mood without the harsh spike of caffeine. It has long been associated with vitality, emotional openness, and cardiovascular support—earning its name “food of the gods.”
LUCUMA
(Pouteria lucuma)
Lucuma is an ancient fruit native to the Andes, often called “the Gold of the Incas.” Pre-Columbian cultures prized it not only as food but as a symbol of fertility and nourishment. Naturally sweet with a caramel-like flavor, lucuma is low-glycemic and rich in beta-carotene, iron, zinc, and polyphenols. Traditionally used to support skin health, blood sugar balance, and overall vitality, it offers both wellness and sweetness.
DATE
(Phoenix dactylifera)
Dates sustained desert cultures across the Middle East and North Africa for over 6,000 years, considered a symbol of life and fertility. Date powder is rich in potassium, fiber, and natural sugars that aid in restoring depleted adrenals and support digestion, improving overall nutrient absorption. Dates are grounding and deeply nourishing, especially after stress or illness.
LIONS MANE
(Hericium erinaceus)
Lion’s Mane has been used for centuries in Traditional Chinese Medicine and by Buddhist monks, who consumed it to support mental clarity during meditation. Known today as a nootropic mushroom, it contains compounds (hericenones and erinacines) that support nerve growth factor (NGF). Traditionally and modernly, it is associated with cognitive health, memory, mood balance, and gut-brain connection.
REISHI
(Ganoderma lucidum - The Mushroom of 'Immortality')
Often called “the Mushroom of Immortality,” reishi has a 2,000-year history in Chinese and Daoist medicine. Once reserved for emperors and royalty, Reishi was used to calm the spirit (Shen), support longevity, and strengthen the immune system. It is considered deeply adaptogenic—helping the body respond to stress, supporting sleep, and find emotional balance.
TURKEY TAIL
(Trametes versicolor)
Turkey Tail has a long history in both Traditional Chinese Medicine and Indigenous healing systems worldwide. Recognizable by its colorful, fan-shaped appearance, it is rich in polysaccharides (PSK and PSP) studied for immune system support. Traditionally used to strengthen resilience and recovery, Turkey Tail is now widely appreciated for gut health and microbiome support due to its prebiotic compounds.
MAITAKE
(Grifola frondosa
- The Dancing Mushroom)
Maitake means “dancing mushroom” in Japanese—legend says people danced with joy upon finding it due to its value. Used traditionally in both Japanese and Chinese medicine, maitake is prized for metabolic support, immune modulation, and blood sugar balance. It is rich in beta-glucans and is often seen as a mushroom that supports harmony between systems rather than targeting one function alone.
TREMELLA
(Tremella fuciformis - the 'Beauty' mushroom)
Known as the “beauty mushroom” in Chinese medicine, Tremella has been used for centuries to support skin hydration, collagen production, and longevity. Iit is rich in polysaccharides that help bind moisture—supporting skin, joints, and mucous membranes. Tremella is deeply nourishing, cooling, and associated with radiant skin and internal hydration.
CORDYCEPS
(Cordyceps sinensis / militaris
- The Sherpa's Mushroom)
Cordyceps has been used in Traditional Chinese and Tibetan medicine for years as a tonic for vitality and longevity. Traditionally associated with the lungs and kidneys, it was used to support stamina, oxygen utilization, libido, and recovery. Modern use highlights its role in energy production at the cellular level, now often used by athletes and those needing sustainable energy without stimulation or unfavorable caffeine crash.
ASHWAGANDA
(Withania somnifera)
Ashwagandha is one of the most important herbs in Ayurveda, used for over 3,000 years. Classified as a rasayana (rejuvenative), it was traditionally used to build strength, resilience, fertility, and calm the nervous system. As an adaptogen, it supports the body’s stress response, adrenal health, thyroid balance, and restorative sleep—bringing stability in times of depletion.
MACA
(Lepidium meyenii)
Maca is a cruciferous root native to the high Andes of Peru, cultivated for over 2,000 years in extreme conditions. Traditionally used to enhance stamina, fertility, mood, and hormonal balance, maca is considered a tonic rather than a stimulant. It is rich in minerals, amino acids, and unique plant compounds, it supports energy, libido, and endocrine resilience, especially during periods of transition.
