UMBO Mushrooms as Tools For Wellness

 by Jake Plummer

 

Hey!    Jake Plummer here. Former NFL Quarterback turned mushroom farmer.

Did you know mushrooms have been used as Tools for Wellness for thousands of years in other cultures around the world? Many doctors in these cultures prescribe mushroom supplements along with modern medicines as a holistic way to treat a multitude of conditions and ailments. I now use these wonderful organisms every day. 

Prior to the pandemic, I was introduced to Functional Mushrooms by my good friend, and now business partner, Del Jolly. He gave me a package containing five mushroom tinctures (Shiitake, Reishi, Lion’s Mane, Cordyceps, and Turkey Tail) and suggested I give them a try. I had reason to trust Del from our time working together for Charlotte’s Web advocating for and educating people on the healing capabilities of Hemp oil. I began taking those mushroom tinctures that day and thus began a life-changing journey into the fascinating world of mushrooms as tools for wellness. 

I am now a firm believer in *functional mushrooms* and a Co-founder alongside Del and UFC Champion Rashad Evans, of UMBO Mushrooms. This partnership is leading me on an amazing exploration of personal growth, healing and education. Most people in western societies know very little about mushrooms. I feel blessed to have the opportunity to share this information with those interested in using one of Mother Earth’s tools to initiate their own journey. Are you curious to learn more?
