Spore Sized: The Science of Reishi: Sleep Deeper, Lengthen Telomeres & Stop Aging
from Lichen The Vibe · host District Podcasts
Discover the incredible science behind Reishi Mushrooms and how this ancient fungus acts at a cellular level to transform your sleep and halt the aging process. If you want to know how Ganoderma lucidum acts as a powerful adaptogen to calm your nervous system, this podcast episode breaks down the dense molecular biology into actionable wellness insights.In this episode, we explore how Reishi acts on the GABAergic mechanism to decrease sleep latency and significantly increase restorative non-REM sleep. We also dive into the neuroprotective benefits, explaining how Reishi promotes brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and TRPC3 proteins to protect your brain cells from stress. Finally, we unpack an incredible 10-month mouse study showing how Reishi fights physical aging by lengthening telomeres, boosting autophagy, and regulating sphingolipid metabolism.
