SuperFeast Professional Podcast

Achieving long-term focus and peak cognitive performance isn't just about being sharp in the moment—it's about supporting your deep root system under the constant pressure of endless stimulus and environmental stress. In this foundational episode, Mason Taylor introduces Neural Nectar, a unique, full-spectrum herbal nootropic formulated using the Taoist framework of supporting the organ systems that govern the brain. Mason details how he created this balanced, yin-yang formula twofold: both to aid his mother's recovery from a traumatic brain injury and to support his own daily high-performance needs. He breaks down the hero ingredients—Lion's Mane (for Nerve Growth Factor), Mauna (a Yang Jing tonic for restoring dopamine centers), and Ginkgo Biloba (for Qi and blood circulation)—and explains how they work together to support the Kidneys (the sea of marrow), Liver (for smooth Qi distribution), and Spleen (for digesting life's events). Whether you're an executive needing to be "on" before a meeting or a deep thinker pursuing quick wit and long-term cognitive agility, this stimulant-free blend is your partner for transforming your identity and states from the root up.

Lion's Mane is revered as the definitive nootropic mushroom for nurturing the "Sea of Marrow" (the Daoist name for the brain tissue) and rebuilding neural resilience. Mason Taylor dives into the unique history of this powerful adaptogen, sharing the urgency behind its introduction to the Superfeast range—driven by his mother's severe traumatic brain injury—and its subsequent rise among biohackers and those seeking deep inner peace. You'll learn why modern science is rapidly catching up to the ancient wisdom behind its neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory actions, and why its often-overlooked benefit—spleen/earth toning—is essential for long-term brain and digestive health. Finally, Mason reveals the non-negotiable Dao sourcing method—grown in a wild setting near the North Korean border with a potent 10:1 extraction process—that ensures you get the genuine Hericium erinaceus for daily cognitive support without stimulant effects.

Ashwagandha needs no introduction — but SuperFeast's approach to it might surprise you. In this episode, Mason unpacks why this ancient Ayurvedic root remains the gold standard for nervous system regulation, stress resilience, and quality sleep, and what sets the SuperFeast extract apart from the crowded adaptogen market. We cover the naturally occurring withanolides that drive its studied benefits, the Dì Dào sourcing from sub-tropical Northern India, and the 10:1 Huo Hou extraction that preserves the full spectrum of active compounds. From cognitive support and hormonal balance to enhanced energy and sexual health — Ashwagandha is one of the most versatile and evidence-backed tools in any practitioner's recommendation toolkit.

Formulated for women at every stage of life, I Am Gaia is SuperFeast's most deeply feminine tonic — a blend of eight potent herbs rooted in Taoist tradition, each selected to nourish, balance, and enliven the feminine experience. In this episode, Mason walks through the full formulation — from Angelica root (aka Female Ginseng) and Schisandra berry (aka The Beauty Berry) to Poria mushroom and Jujube fruit — and explains how they work together to relieve period pain, support hormonal transitions, and cultivate harmony across the physical, emotional, and energetic body. For practitioners supporting women through perimenopause, postpartum, or everyday cyclical health, I Am Gaia is a powerful daily ally worth knowing inside and out.

Move over hyaluronic acid. Tremella — the jewel of traditional Chinese beauty herbalism — is making waves in the modern wellness industry, and for good reason. In this episode, Mason dives into why this stunning medicinal mushroom has earned the nickname 'the Beauty Mushroom', and how its exceptional water-retention capacity works from the inside out to hydrate, smooth, and plump the skin. We also explore its underrated role in gut and lung health, its Dì Dào sourcing and 10:1 Huo Hou extraction, and why it's equally at home in a morning tonic as it is in a topical mask. For clients seeking lasting radiance without synthetic shortcuts — this is the episode to share.

Deer Antler Velvet has been revered in Taoist herbal tradition for centuries — and for good reason. In this episode, Mason breaks down why this legendary tonic is one of SuperFeast's most potent tools for rebuilding deep vitality from the ground up. We cover the science behind muscle recovery and inhibition of atrophy, the ethical and veterinary-supervised sourcing of Cervus nippon deer, and the ancient principles that guide every batch. Whether you're recommending it to a burnt-out executive, an athlete chasing faster recovery, or a client looking to reignite their libido — Deer Antler delivers. This is tonic herbalism at its most primal.

In the early 90s, a team of Chinese middle-distance runners shattered world records — and shocked the athletics world. No banned substances. Just Cordyceps. In this episode, Mason unpacks why this powerhouse medicinal mushroom has been a cornerstone of Traditional Chinese Medicine for centuries, and why it's become the go-to daily performance mushroom for athletes, practitioners, and anyone running on empty. From Lung fortification and oxygen optimisation to deep Kidney energy and sustained stamina — Cordyceps is your steady companion for the long game. Learn how SuperFeast's vegan-grown Cs-4 mycelium is cultivated and extracted for maximum bioavailability and real-world results.

In Taoist philosophy, Jing is the root of all vitality — the deep reservoir that governs drive, longevity, and resilience. When it's depleted, everything suffers. In this episode, Mason introduces JING, SuperFeast's signature adaptogenic blend of six foundational herbs and mushrooms, and the first SuperFeast formula to achieve HASTA certification for elite athlete suitability. We explore each ingredient — from Cordyceps and Cistanche to Rehmannia and Goji — and how they work in synergy to restore adrenal function, rebuild stamina, and support libido and motivation. If your clients are fatigued, burnt out, or running on fumes, JING is where the rebuild begins.

Athletic performance and libido aren't vanity metrics — they're the two clearest signals that your Jing is intact and your deep root system is thriving. In this foundational episode, Mason Taylor lays out the Taoist framework for why these two pillars matter, and introduces the three-tier Jing protocol that practitioners can use to meet clients exactly where they are. Start everyone on the JING formula — the baseline for restoring essence and rebuilding vitality. Layer in Cordyceps for those chasing performance and needing a pre-workout lung tonic edge. And when someone is truly depleted — nothing left in the tank — that's when Deer Antler Velvet steps in as the big bopper, sparking the engine so the herbs can do their work. Whether your client is a 25-year-old athlete pushing their VO2 max or a burnt-out parent running on empty, this protocol meets them where they are and builds them back from the root up.
