Episode 59: Are Functional Mushrooms Really Worth the Hype? with Dr. Julie Huang of NOON
from Living Well (or Trying To) with Janet · host Janet Wang
Mushrooms are everywhere in wellness right now — from lattes to supplements to skin care. But are they really worth the hype? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Julie Huang, naturopathic physician and co-founder of NOON, to unpack the real science and soul behind functional mushrooms. Dr. Huang shares her personal healing journey from eczema and burnout to integrative medicine, and explains how mushrooms like Reishi and Lion’s Mane can support focus, calm, and resilience — without the “trip.” We explore how traditional Chinese medicine meets modern neuroscience, why joy and grace matter more than rigid routines, and how Noon’s beautifully designed, sugar-free gummies make wellness feel a little more fun. It’s a grounded, inspiring conversation for anyone curious about feeling better — not by doing more, but by doing it with delight.
