The Magic of Mushrooms: How Four Sigmatic Enhances My Well Being
For two years now, I’ve been obsessed with Four Sigmatic in my daily routine.
Yes, I’m talking about mushroom coffee. (Stay with me on this one!)
When I drink it regularly, I notice an improvement in my physical and mental performance, my sleep quality and my ability to handle stress. I believe it’s the reason for my amazing immune system and clarity of thought these days!
My fascination began after listening to several podcasts with Tero Isokauppila, the founder of Four Sigmatic – leading mushroom and superfoods company that creates products to enhance consumers’ well being, while educating them about the entire kingdom of mushrooms.
I instantly loved the packaging and taste of the different powders. Digging a bit deeper, I was super impressed by the company’s mission: “to democratize mushrooms. We see immunological issues ‘along with hormonal and digestive problems’ as the key thing to solve in order to help people live healthier”— which I admire.
Medicinal mushrooms have been used for thousands of years (even in many western medicines today), and Four Sigmatic is bringing them to the masses in a modern and delicious way. The company popularizes drinking ‘shrooms (not the psychedelic kind or ones you buy from the grocery store), and I can totally get behind this idea. They have incredible healing properties, and we could all benefit from adding them to our diet.
From increased focus, to thriving hormones, to instant energy, ‘shrooms are SO GOOD for you. They benefit your immunity, longevity, stimulation, sleep, and are tasteless! Four Sigmatic uses a variety of functional mushrooms packed full of superfoods and adaptogens, which are important and relevant right now in the world, as stress is affecting more of us than ever.
Chaga: For antioxidants, overall wellness, immunity. Drink this king of mushrooms in the morning to start your day right and to support immune functions.
Lion’s Mane: For focus, productivity, creativity. Lion’s Mane is an all-natural cognitive enhancer, shown to support memory and concentration. Drink while studying, reading or writing.
Cordyceps: For energy, performance, increased endurance. Cordyceps is an adaptogen, not a stimulant, so it helps you produce and maintain steady energy levels. While coffee can give you an energy spike and crash, cordyceps helps your body produce its own energy. Drink before a workout or while being active to support energy.
Reishi: For relaxation, sleep, anti-stress. Reishi can help you calm down and get a good night’s sleep by regulating hormonal balance and lowering cortisol levels. Drink before going to bed or during a stressful day.
Their earthy taste pairs nicely with both coffee and chocolate flavors. Adding these mushroom elixirs to coffee can offset some of the downsides of caffeine, like jitters and crashes, acidity and disrupted digestion. Coffee without the jitters gives balanced stimulation!
I like knowing that if I’m going to have caffeine, the effects won’t be as harsh. And if I’m having hot chocolate, might as well enjoy some health benefits while I’m at it!
Four Sigmatic’s superfood-based mixes work well as a boost or an ingredient in basically any recipe. I love putting them in my morning lattes, smoothies, treats, yogurt bowls, and hot chocolate!
I add the Superfood 10 Mushroom Blend in my daily smoothie for energy and immunity. It’s a convenient way to consume 10 species of different functional mushrooms that are all widely researched. My other favorites are the coffee mixes and matcha latte for a lower-caffeine energy boost. Just add to hot water or recipe of your choice. Endless possibilities!!
Because they use the best extraction process and high-quality ingredients in their delicious blends, Four Sigmatic is my personal favorite. That’s why it’s a dream to partner with them!! They were kind enough to offer a 10% discount on their ‘shrooms when you use the code KENDRA10. Let me know which mix is your favorite!
Four Sigmatic sent me a few products to try, and I can’t get enough!
The ground coffee with lion’s mane makes the perfect pour over. It’s a staple in my morning routine— I don’t go a day without! With 18g protein and real organic vanilla, the plant-based protein powder is seriously my new favorite. Each scoop has a blend of five pure proteins with a balanced amino acid profile, plus seven amazing functional mushrooms and adaptogens for immune support and overall wellbeing. With no artificial flavors, stevia, grains, gums, or fillers, it’s so clear. It can completely replace your immune supplement, adaptogen mix AND protein powder! The reishi cacao mix, ideal for your afternoon treat chill evening, contains reishi, cacao powder, coconut palm sugar, cinnamon, cardamom, and stevia. It’s not overly sweet and has a nice, rich flavor.
This upgraded hot chocolate is the ultimate cozy beverage, ready in five minutes. It’s creamy, perfectly sweet, comforting, customizable, and seriously delicious. I hope you love it!
Ingredients:
1 packet reishi cacao mix
Almond butter (optional, or any other nut/seed butter)
