How mushrooms became big news in beauty and wellness – with Dr Catalina Fernandez

Once the preserve of pizzas and Nintendo games, mushrooms are
popping up everywhere at the moment (mushroom coffee anyone?). In
this episode, we sit down with Dr Catalina Fernandez, Founder and
CEO of biotech-based wellness company Hifas da Terra, to explore
why mushrooms are so therapeutically powerful – and how they help
train our immune systems to respond faster. Catalina shares
compelling clinical evidence from cancer trials and rare disease
treatments, explains exactly how mushrooms work at a cellular
level, and addresses the quality concerns plaguing the wellness
industry. We also discuss the paradigm shift towards food as
medicine, why integration with conventional healthcare matters
more than alternative approaches, and what the future holds for
mycotherapy as a standard care tool. Whether you're curious about
the science or considering mushroom supplements, this
conversation cuts through the wellness noise with evidence-based
insights.
