Tero Isokauppila knows more about mushrooms than you ever thought possible, and he breaks it all down in ways that the average human can understand. (Don\\u2019t want to be an average human? Start drinking mushroom coffee.) Originally from Finland, Tero has farming and science in his blood, and he brings this heritage to bear in everything he does with his company, Four Sigmatic. It\\u2019s his goal to improve people\\u2019s life quality, using nutrition as a stepping stone to whole-person wellness.

His new book, Santa Sold Shrooms, will be published soon and it will blow your mind. We talk about the origin of the Santa Claus story we know today (hint: it involves psychedelic mushrooms), and dive into the controversial possibility that well-known religions were based on mushroom-induced hallucinations.

It\\u2019s an info-packed episode that will make you feel smarter before you\\u2019ve even started drinking Lion\\u2019s Mane. Get educated!
