I’m 63 live alone since my wife passed in 22. So one evening I’m watching my grandkids, I have some of my coffee at there house, and while looking for it, found a bottle of lions main supplements. Ask about them. Told me they don’t use them I can have them. Started taking them and have seen a substantial difference in mood and memory. Before I would sometimes struggle to find words. Not now! Thank you for your content.
Thank you for this info. "Struggle to find words" is exactly what I'm experiencing on and off. I can see the image in my mind but takes time to find the word. Both of my grandmother's had dementia in their later years. I'm 65 so I'm certainly trying this.
I have started Lions Mane-and have noticed a definite increase in creativity- but not so much in my cognitive function. Although being creative makes me happier. So I’ll continue. I’m using a tincture. Thank you so much for you’re great research - so appreciated 🙏🏻
I recently started taking a lion's mane tincture that I bought from a farmer's market. It was sold by local mushroom growers who also sell a few supplements from a smaller but highly rated company. How do you take it? Like every morning? Do you skip days? I saw someone talking about how you should take it for a few days and then take a break for a couple of days to just let it do it's thing and repair stuff. He explained it like working out.
@jdhawk1970 I only use Staments' "Host Defense. " I just trust the knowledge and years of experience Staments has. I use two capsules daily of Lion's Mane. I feel better, less depressed, and more stable, consistent energy. I sometimes skip a few days, but if I skip 2 or 3 weeks or more, I am aware I need Lion's Mane. Kind of like needing vitamin b, d, or iron. You just know.
Just purchased this brand today in powder form. Im excited to see what becomes of me... more clear minded, maybe better energy, happier mood, will start tonight before work!!! Ill be 55 in later Oct @glendagraves1637
I think they should do more studies. I've had severe depression during winter for 15 years. This year, no depression at all.This year I'm taking lionsmane extract 372mg.
me too, I also have sever depression may I ask how long have you been taking it? daily & what are the dosage? do you take it in a powder form or capsules ?
Praise God from all blessings flow. My mom was diagnosed with with dementia. I think it’s depression. I gave her lions mane and I see a tremendous positive change. I pray for your continued healing. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Karen. That was a lot of studies to chew thru. Some of these studies look like hours of reading. I appreciate it. Kudo's and a thumbs up for this one.
I started taking lion's mane a week after my stroke in 2019. Over the past 4 years I have run out and noticed the difference in dizziness and fatigue I was going through. I also use cordycep mushroom to increase my energy levels and that is very helpful. Also these increase immunity and I have not had so much as a cold since 2019. I was around several people who had covid an I never got it. I did notice the last time I had a week waiting for my lion's mane my walking was a little bit sloppy and I tired out quicker at the store. Just observations I had written down. Thank you very much for looking into this supplement. Your podcast and videos are so helpful and I appreciate it a lot.
They were sold out for a month were I get them...I was the most uncoordinated mess I've ever seen. See, I have somehow turned my mind into a tornado of doubt over the hard years. These Lions Mane shatter that mental tornado so I can believe in myself again... Turkey Tail , Cordyceps and Reiki are excellent too.
People don’t get sick from magical flying Boogey germs. They DEVELOP the “illness” following the resolution of the upsetting event that caused it. Just like they DEVELOP cancer. If you can’t “catch” cancer, you can’t “catch” anything else. The Germ Theory has been fraud for 110 years. Repeating it over and over does not make it true.
I had neuropathy in my hands for over a decade. So bad I needed assistance with all daily needs. Doctors could not seem to help. I took dried Lions Mane from a Canadian grower because I heard it helped nerves grow. I would and did try anything and everything to try and get out of my misery. I can't say how or why, but after months of use, my hands came back, they have normal nerve feeling, not a constant electrical fire shocking my every miniscule movement. It's been 3 years, I take care of myself now. Wish I could say I knew it was the Lions Mane. But I have a belief in it, and I started taking it again to try growing back many lost neurons . But now I hear I need the tincture, so, I will try it. Thank you so much. If I get results I'll share.
I have a question about what product you are using, please. I too use a product out Canada, Real Mushrooms. It seems to isolating the Beta-Glucans which promote Glutathione production essential for immune health & more. That said I am not sure it captures the 2 elements describe in this video. My husband suffers badly from neuropathy. Can you offer the dose and product you are using? Greatly appreciated.
@@Float4Fun hi, I too am using Real Mushrooms product. I've only used the dry caps, and I take them in cyvles that just seem to naturally take place, for example I'll take for 3 weeks, then I can feel the plateau. I'm not very educated on how they work. Didn't know they produce L-glutsthione. I take that for my gut membrane, and I'd only learned that it's available from beef and cabbage. I should mention that my neuropathy is also connected to my liver, gut biome etc. I've done extensive work there. But the it was after using lions Mane I improved neurological wise. Could have been by chance. But I choose to believe. I feel it work just in a few days,ike new growth on a plant. My thoughts grow new thoughts instead of repeating old patterns. When this plateaus I stop. It also of course too in tandem, helps my gut which helps my nerves (body attacking self, inflammation etc in appendages, brain, and othe organs) Wish I could have been of more help!! When I run out of caps, I will try a tincture preparation and see if there's a difference.
@@objectivealchemy Thank you so much. Most helpful. I have been using Real Mushrooms Lions Mane for over a year but off and on last 4 months. When I stop I seem to have more short term memory issues. I also am bolstering the gut biome. You find the work of Dr. Mark Hyman of interest. He has a great experience in I’ll health leading him to Functional medicine. Look at his works on Longevity. Treating leaky gut equates to a lot of liver malfunction. Best wishes for regaining health.
@@objectivealchemy oh, I should add that I just ordered tincture from Lone Star direct good discount on first order Welcome15$ is the code… at the end they offer lions mane tinctures for $13.98 get stocked up !
hello, i am sorry to hear you also experience neuropathy in your hands. may i ask what other modalities you have tried? i am at the beginning of my journey and just trying to resolve pain :(
I have taken lions mane about 6 months ago as a supplement and found that there was a noticeable improvement in my brain function, not that I was smarter or didn’t to figure out problems, but it seem to allow my best cognitive abilities prior to my 60’s, to come to mind without delay. My mood was clearly better. Not one episode of depression ever came up, which perhaps made normal thinking and other functions more available to me? Over the period of 2 months I took it everyday, and when I didn’t find it available until recently, it seemed to level my attitude and attention until the last month or so . Oddly enough the last two days the depression has come back with a vengeance but still I am able to “see it” more than “be it”. Also I have found some available,so this evening I took the recommended dosage, and I am quietly watching if and how it’ll affect me. It’s been several hours since I took it, and my observing the depression has been going down little by little. Tomorrow I will continue with the lions mane supplement and observe any and all changes for the better.
I've had long covid for over 3½ years but didn't realize what it was for year until it got much worse. I was already taking supplements but the one of the first new things I tried after perusing several long covid support groups was lion's mane, which several people recommended. I believe it has helped me avoid, for the most part, the brain fog so many LC sufferers have. Even with all my various symptoms I often feel a lot of mental energy - more than I previously had for year prior to taking it. I now make my own powder from the fresh mushroom I get at the local farmer's market and have also grown my own. I currently 1 tsp a day, about 2500 mg.
I just talked with my doc today and we both determined that long-covid is what my issue is. I'm sad to hear that it's now been 4 years for you. Please tell me that you are getting better. What support groups have you been involved with?

I love that you mentioned that if it is of benefit by say rewiring or healing the brain in some ways its benefits shouldn't dwindle and falter if ppl stop using it. This piqued my interest because that's something I've noticed when reading people's reviews. They would say "I stopped taking it for a set amount of time and wow was that a mistake", and they hop right back on it. The video I watched just before this was about a person who decided to try it for 30 days -- in powdered form. He quickly noticed some great benefits and then forgot to take it with him on a trip and he quickly noticed a drop and went back on it. As you mentioned, how is it healing if the improvements disappear with time? At least when it comes to the studies you mentioned. With that said, I've decided to give it a try for myself as well. Where I currently reside there aren't many options for a Lions Mane tincture so I choose the best one I can get. I'll keep all this in mind and be respectively skeptical until I see improvement in myself. I can't wait to hear back from you about your experience!
More testing should be done. If it does create new pathways, how long does it take? But, like this video states... It may never actually create a new anything.
Testing on mice shows that it helps in comities ability memory etc but dwindles after a week or so of not using. So using daily is best atleast 5 mg a day I believe I read could be wrong
My husband and I are new to your channel. I want to share my experience with lions mane. April 8,2023 I broke my shoulder. The bone itself has healed but I've been struggling with getting my nerves and tendons etc healed. I've had limited range of motion. About 3 weeks ago we bought our first ever lions mane mushrooms. I dried it and ground it into a powder. I've been putting that power in everything including our coffee. Today I have roughly 98% of my range of motion back! I have no idea if the lion's mane is helping my nerves and tendons directly or if it's healing something in my brain. But the pain is down to about a .5 now. I scratched the back of my neck with that hand for the first time in a year! This is definitely one of many of nature's super foods!!!
@@icareforyourbrainwithdr.su7103 Is she using it in a raw form, which you advised against, or that it is ineffective that way. Maybe dried is not the same as raw.
@@icareforyourbrainwithdr.su7103 Do you have a video on Parkinson's? What I'm dealing with, as well as extreme, stubborn eczema. Both incredibly challenging, discouraging. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Also have a female friend (30's) who is taking anti psychotic meds because she hears voices. I'm very worried about long term effects, but she doesn't seem worried, is willing to trust the doc. Any info/links would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I took lion's mane for a bit (capsules) and I think it may have helped (too many factors to know for sure, and I am bad at writing things down). Couldn't afford for a bit, so I was off of it and funny enough had an suboccipital craniectomy surgery ( for chiari malformation ) and was involved in a study for it, so I didnt want to reintroduce until the study was done. Restarting today, we'll see what I find. Heck, if it's placebo effect (perhaps relating to depression for me) I'll still take it! Some things I think may impact my brain: -chiari -long covid -IBS -depression and anxiety, fairly bad for the past decade -ADHD -POTS like syndromes but not diagnosed
I use powder lionmain in my meal. Ground Brown flax, rosemary, cinnamon, fenugreek, chlorella, turmeric, ginger, black pepper, cayenne pepper, nutmeg: all powder. My quinoa on top... I almost 80. I still 🤔thinking.🙂🙃🙂
I have always wanted to believe in neuroplasticity and nerve regeneration in any way shape or form. I am just amazed at how the universe seems to work. I believe the universe believes in all of us and I just have to listen when suddenly surprise surprise surprise I hear something somewhere someplace sometime that just helps me out. This coming October 13th Friday 2023, I am scheduled for a surgical retinal reattachment. So just imagine my shock and surprise and absolute Delight that you mentioned our eyeballs specifically the retina. Tempe, for the longest of times I've been convinced that whatever ails me has always been in my head anyway, from an overall health aspect that is absolutely true for me. I'm wishing you well and all the success with all that you do, and deservedly so.
I’ve been struggling with memory problems for the last few months. Going to try it and see how I do, thank you for the informative video. This was very helpful.
Very interesting analysis. I have used a tea that has lions and mushroom and I really believe it helps me think clearer and focus better on the days I have used it. I am 76 yrs old and have developed a focusing problem that I call Senior Attention deficit disorder! I don’t know if there is such a thing but that’s what it feels like to me. I got the tea from a wonderful little tea shop in Branson Missouri called TeaMaze. It is owned by a lovely little Japanese Lady who was trained by a Japanese tea master. She is very helpful in pointing to the teas that help in various health concerns. I wish I could afford to have it on hand all the time.
Hoping these will help reverse any shrinkage of my brain following antipsychotics. I literally defeated my phycosis on my own with deep self reflection as to how and why it was happening. Schizophrenia is also called double mindedness, and it's an issue if the mind. All I had to do was mend my mind back into one. I suffered terrible rebound psychosis by way of dopamine super sensitivity during my antipsychotic withdrawal, and it didn't stop until I did what I mentioned.
Dr. Sullivan I'm so grateful for your approach, your interest in safety and effectiveness & and just being a bright spot in the maze of the medical world. Anyone with neurological issues needs someone like you. How do we get you cloned?
The best thing to consider with any supplement is to get the best current study data available. This was a reasoned and objective video, usually in very short supply... I do take the Lions Mane extract capsules, daily (I only take "supplements" when actual blood work is done by my Doc and shows that I may be low in some). If a good study eventually shows beneficial effect and is supported by multiple studies, I'd stop. taking the extract capsules. In the meantime, I watch for any new study results.
I didn't know about the retinal regeneration until just now. I haven't seen any "lightning" for about a year. I've had some pretty bad fits of coughing & there is no indication that anything is coming loose.
I used a lion's mane tincture to help overcome brain fog after a diagnosis of type 1 diabetes and DKA. I now maintain my dosing over a year later with 1 capsule a day.. But I do feel like the tincture was more effective.
Ha! Thanks for the info! Love your background! I'm growing a lion's mane block. Bought it for $25 at a farmer's market. It's going alright but it turned brown as I didn't realize the sun hit that spot. Oh well.... not sure it's going to be ok to eat. We'll see.
I only ever seek medical advice from social media. It’s always throughly researched tested unbiased and honest. Just like the Joe Rogan show. Thank you
I would be more careful about that. People can have self serving motives if they've got something to sell, or have a personal bias. Joe Rogan sometimes allows bad information and conspiracy theories on his show that go unchallenged. She seems very careful about giving accurate info, and values properly done studies, but doesn't completely disregard smaller, less conclusive preliminary studies. Many, or most are not that careful out there.
@@LilLucky2012 could be, but if it was AI that someone is using to deceive people and promote misinformation, I don't think they would use AI in their name and give it away.
What about simply eating the mushroom every day? Is that less effective than a tincture? Or..how much of the actual plant should one take to match the suggested tincture dosage?
Shrooms are a powerful psychedelic with a long history of recreational, medicinal, and spiritual use worldwide. Still, psychedelics can be unpredictable, and experts advise anyone interested in using them to start with a low dose and seek counseling from a medical professional.
I buy local. DURHAM NC. One Fungi. Been drinking the mushroom coffee which is more cocoa based rather than coffee. They also have a lions mane tincture. But do not think has the alcohol
My question is: Are mushrooms toxic? Do they cause mold toxins and contributers to candida.They are growing in dark, damp environments, aren't they?Im definitely rotting for them .Thanks
I have trigeminal neuralgia. I've had this monster for 27 years. I've been pain-free and drug-free for 3 years. I take taurine, lion's mane, multivitamins, and recently added Alpha Lipoic Acid, and Turmeric Curcumin. Giving the myelin sheath what it needs is where it's at and costs me 52 cents a day. I learned this from those who have beat MS. It's healing instead of drugging, so it takes time. I just take the amount that it says on the bottle, no more, no less. There are over 30 supplements that restore the myelin sheath. Once I found what worked for me I stuck with it. I've been on the drug treadmill. It's not sustainable.
Some times we have an intolerance to mushrooms. 1. How to know if they are a bother? Most people don't notice intolerances. If drank or eaten, not every day in big amounts. 2. If we take the Lions Mane when is it not good for you??
I bought some of the powder on Amazon. Just took it today. Its definitely doing something good. Respond to this comment in the future if you want an update. I hear its important to make sure its all dissolved before taking it. I felt a little stomach discomfort because i didn't break it down enough but i feel really good in the rest of my body and my brain so far.
@@nerualx8045 it helped a little but eventually it was bad. Would not recommend. It felt like it effects the brain in a negative way later on. If other had a good result I'm not one of them.
@@aestheticfitness1354 it was helpful at first but later made me feel too dizzy so needed I got off it. Over all I would recommend something else. Sorry for such a late response I've been very busy.
I like that you provide links for products you recommend. I started watching you a few months ago. In this video, the ring lights reflecting off your glasses made it too hard to watch so I had to close my eyes. I haven't noticed this in all your videos.
I understand that the nerve growth factor comes from Lions main extracted from the mycelium rather than the fruiting body of the mushroom. What say you?
Hi there, very thorough deep dive I tried to get more information, you have done it for me. Thank you! I don’t see a subscribe button or the link or information about Lone Star. I am in Canada, but and have 2 different powdered brands of Lions Main Purica & Host Defence…I will try the tincture version of this, as you say it is probably the way to go with this, and I will try to source out Lone Star just to see what their all about! I will keep checking in I have been on this for almost 2 months, I don’t know if it’s a placebo effect, but I do feel like maybe I’m a little clearer, not sure, taking ½ tsp of powder and 2 capsules . I will try taking it 2 x a day rather than all in the morning. Thanks a bunch, for doing this…Linda from Ontario CA
As I said in my previous comment I am tyring to use this again. But 2.5 years ago I used it briefly, and literally noticed that things seemed brighter and colors were more vivid while going out to walk. I have started making kefir again daily along with some bovine colostrum, as antipsychotics seemed to wreck my gut.
First, thank you Dr. Sullivan for the brsin health content ypu provide through your You Tube channel. I stumbled upon one of your videos earlier this year and find the fact-based, knowledge-based, scientific- based information ypu provide so helpful. I am on a journey to better heakth for which I am having a difficult time because it is complicated by trying to slowly taper off of Gabapentin. On my journey to better health, Ive also been researching supplements, foods as healing, meditation( thanks for the two meditation videos you did- they were great and I listen to them often). I began a more plant-based diet, specifically ensuring I included foods good for brain health, one being mushrooms. The concern for me with regard to taking supplements, including a mushroom tincture, is not knowing contraindications, if any, with the Gabapentin. I want off of the Gabapentin, which had not helped with my migraines for which it was prescribed but rather I believe is causing memory issues and internal tremors 2 years into using it. Any thoughts about using the tincture while taking Gabapentin? Not expecting medical advice but rather opinion/ thoughts. Additionally, will you be doing a third meditation?
I smoked weed for 16 years absolutely ruined my short term memory, been taking lions mane for about 6 months after about a month my memory had become noticeably better. If you told me a 4 digit code before taking id have forgotten it within a minute I no longer have this problem. Bare in mind I also quit smoking weed so that has also helped
I'd be really curious about research that explored effects of eating the mushroom as a food? That would make placebo, double-blind studies nearly impossible. And, we also know that mushroom are highly perishable, so we simply don't know what compounds might be lost or destroyed in the tincture or supplement creation process. I'm also curious what quantity of fresh lions mane mushroom might be equivalent to the supplement dose you suggest.
I have drug resistant epilepsy so medication not helping, does anyone have some knowledge about mushrooms, herbs or other natural medicine which can help?
I've heard/read that it's best to take for a while (5 days, a week?) and then give it a break for a few days to allow the brain to clear out old cells, to recover from the activity, or something to that affect? Or, maybe to allow the receptors to rejuvenate? Same with other brain or adaptogen supps. Makes sense.
My daughter and i are both having increased brain fog and fatigue 5 weeks after having covid. Will try Lion's Mane again. Not sure can do higher doses since my system is trigger happy & i become sensitized if i take too much.

Dr. Sullivan stetted taking Lions Mane brain enhancing supplement in this video. She said she would report back after a month to give her impressions of any benefits she noticed. I GUESS SHE FORGOT! This was three months ago, and I searched all over her video page... JEESH!
Hi there, I sincerely apologize and plan on doing it this week. I've had some unexpected life events that have needed my time. Hopefully, people can understand.
@@icareforyourbrainwithdr.su7103 Cool, you read your messages, and quickly too! Im sorry if I sounded harsh, but I've followed quite a few promised follow-ups to no avail.. I've been taking mycelial powder for about a month and feel a distinct lowering of anxiety. I have a whole pound of it so I was thinking of turning a bottle of vodka into a tincture since you (and one other video) said it worked better. I'll be watching for your video, thanks.
Thank you very much for the useful and objective information! My husband with Parkinson's is about to try Lion's Mane (brand "Real Mushrooms", 1000 mg capsules, from Calgary, Canada). The bottle recommends 2 capsules per day...could they be taken together, or better spaced out? With food? Early in the day? Thank you!!
Hello, it's difficulty to say if he feels anything from Lion's mane, as he is also taking other supplements, such as Citicoline and n acetylcysteine. @@robinjanssen3754
I have Parkinson's and have been taking Lion's Mane for a while. I haven't noticed an improvement in PD symptoms but cognitively seem to be doing pretty well, most of the time anyway. But I'm also taking other brain supplements, some of which show promise for PD and other neuro disorders in preliminary studies I see on PubMed; gingko, bacopa, Gotu Kola, ashwaganda, and more.
I see that they started selling lions mane at Sam’s Club, my question is, can you take the pill for with your multiple vitamins along with turmeric at the same time ?
I'm allergic to penicillin but just ordered some lions mane tincture for brain fog etc. Not sure if the lions mane will give me an allergic reaction. Anyone run into this or have any insight? I'm not epi pen allergic or deathly allergic.
I have recently been using a tincture of Lion’s Mane from a small batch producer in New York State and was wondering if it was worth using. Not sure if it’s worked any magic on my mentation yet partly because I was put on a high dose of a statin which turned me into a blithering idiot that couldn’t get out of bed! Discontinued that. Now that I’m back to normal I am going to keep using the Lion’s Mane. Old age is setting in and I also have some macular problems. Keeping my fingers crossed 🤞🏼
Great information I’m trying to find your outcome of you Lions mane mushroom trial run for a month, could you help me out how did it go? I was going to buy the pill form, but I watched this episode know I’m thinking i’ll be switching thanks

I’m going to have to bring this up to my doctor because I fell in June 2023 right on my head. I’m sure I broke my nose. In October I had a MRI but it found nothing. I still have my nose run so much that you would think it was a bad nose bleed. I also hurt my neck in the fall, the are area where I had a MVD on my right side for TN is swollen, but looks kind of normal because it was a sunken in area after the MVD surgery. So which doctor do I take this information to? I went to my neurologist first. I have had more trouble with falling, walking, cognitive skills and had a bad UTI recently. My face took a big blow. Hope you can help. 😢
I was having muscle twitches since 2019 when covid was around, and after a year or so of lions mane they happen so much less, significantly less, I wonder if it is attributed to some extent to lions mane
Thanks @timmatheny-lo9ze. You and other comments confirmed for me. I grind it and incl tsp/Tbsp in coffee grounds. Wasn't sure but I see improvement in memory as well as mood. Wasn't sure it was the mushrooms. 3rd bag using approx 1yr.. Store in glass in cupboard.
I've tried Lucidril, Vasopressin, Hydergine, Piracetam, Eldepryl without success. I've also tried Acetyl L-carnitine, ginkgo, Citicoline without success. I was thinking about PS and Lion's Mane as the next step. IDK. Coffee and marijuana are the only things that work for me.
I can't help but wonder what if you increased BDNF while challenging the brain by learning. The old saying, use it or lose it. Producing BDNF might be temporary if said connections are not utilized? I can see why BDNF might be temporary without the reinforcement of Learning. I also wonder since there is a falloff after discontinuation that maybe this stuff should be cycled. On another note: As in all things pro active, ie, exercise, learning and eating nutritious foods etc only work while we are doing them. After we quit, there is a fall off. The aging brain does not have the BDNF as a younger person and as such, when one begins taking Lyon's Maine mushroom, one has to stay on it to continually as it would be logical for the aging brain to experience less BDNF as before if not taking it. I would be interested in feedback.
I’m 63 live alone since my wife passed in 22. So one evening I’m watching my grandkids, I have some of my coffee at there house, and while looking for it, found a bottle of lions main supplements. Ask about them. Told me they don’t use them I can have them. Started taking them and have seen a substantial difference in mood and memory. Before I would sometimes struggle to find words. Not now! Thank you for your content.
Thank you for this info. "Struggle to find words" is exactly what I'm experiencing on and off. I can see the image in my mind but takes time to find the word. Both of my grandmother's had dementia in their later years. I'm 65 so I'm certainly trying this.
I have started Lions Mane-and have noticed a definite increase in creativity- but not so much in my cognitive function. Although being creative makes me happier. So I’ll continue. I’m using a tincture.
Thank you so much for you’re great research - so appreciated 🙏🏻
what brand did you use?
I use Stamments "Host Defense" Lion's Mane capsules. Brand makes a difference.
I recently started taking a lion's mane tincture that I bought from a farmer's market. It was sold by local mushroom growers who also sell a few supplements from a smaller but highly rated company.
How do you take it? Like every morning? Do you skip days? I saw someone talking about how you should take it for a few days and then take a break for a couple of days to just let it do it's thing and repair stuff. He explained it like working out.
@jdhawk1970 I only use Staments' "Host Defense. " I just trust the knowledge and years of experience Staments has. I use two capsules daily of Lion's Mane. I feel better, less depressed, and more stable, consistent energy. I sometimes skip a few days, but if I skip 2 or 3 weeks or more, I am aware I need Lion's Mane. Kind of like needing vitamin b, d, or iron. You just know.
Just purchased this brand today in powder form. Im excited to see what becomes of me... more clear minded, maybe better energy, happier mood, will start tonight before work!!! Ill be 55 in later Oct @glendagraves1637
Lions Mane cleared up the diabetic neuropathy in my feet. I drink the Dose Mushroom Coffee daily. Both feet and memory are improved.
hello, may i ask how long the effects took in your feet?
@@emo333vampire About 10 weeks. Still just a little tingling at the tips of my toes.
this is wonderful to hear! i have very painful neuropathy in hands and feet, and trying everything
Very encouraging. I have post Covid neuropathy. Benfotiamine has helped but going to try this as well.
Oh wow, I have that from when I had kidney failure, I have numbness in my feet.
I think they should do more studies. I've had severe depression during winter for 15 years. This year, no depression at all.This year I'm taking lionsmane extract 372mg.
Only used this?
me too, I also have sever depression may I ask how long have you been taking it? daily & what are the dosage? do you take it in a powder form or capsules ?
Which brand?
Most psychoactive mushrooms will promote brain health
Praise God from all blessings flow. My mom was diagnosed with with dementia. I think it’s depression. I gave her lions mane and I see a tremendous positive change. I pray for your continued healing. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Karen. That was a lot of studies to chew thru. Some of these studies look like hours of reading. I appreciate it. Kudo's and a thumbs up for this one.
I started taking lion's mane a week after my stroke in 2019. Over the past 4 years I have run out and noticed the difference in dizziness and fatigue I was going through. I also use cordycep mushroom to increase my energy levels and that is very helpful. Also these increase immunity and I have not had so much as a cold since 2019. I was around several people who had covid an I never got it. I did notice the last time I had a week waiting for my lion's mane my walking was a little bit sloppy and I tired out quicker at the store. Just observations I had written down. Thank you very much for looking into this supplement. Your podcast and videos are so helpful and I appreciate it a lot.
They were sold out for a month were I get them...I was the most uncoordinated mess I've ever seen. See, I have somehow turned my mind into a tornado of doubt over the hard years. These Lions Mane shatter that mental tornado so I can believe in myself again... Turkey Tail , Cordyceps and Reiki are excellent too.
People don’t get sick from magical flying Boogey germs. They DEVELOP the “illness” following the resolution of the upsetting event that caused it. Just like they DEVELOP cancer. If you can’t “catch” cancer, you can’t “catch” anything else. The Germ Theory has been fraud for 110 years. Repeating it over and over does not make it true.
I had neuropathy in my hands for over a decade. So bad I needed assistance with all daily needs. Doctors could not seem to help. I took dried Lions Mane from a Canadian grower because I heard it helped nerves grow. I would and did try anything and everything to try and get out of my misery.
I can't say how or why, but after months of use, my hands came back, they have normal nerve feeling, not a constant electrical fire shocking my every miniscule movement. It's been 3 years, I take care of myself now.
Wish I could say I knew it was the Lions Mane. But I have a belief in it, and I started taking it again to try growing back many lost neurons . But now I hear I need the tincture, so, I will try it. Thank you so much.
If I get results I'll share.
I have a question about what product you are using, please. I too use a product out Canada, Real Mushrooms. It seems to isolating the Beta-Glucans which promote Glutathione production essential for immune health & more. That said I am not sure it captures the 2 elements describe in this video. My husband suffers badly from neuropathy. Can you offer the dose and product you are using? Greatly appreciated.
@@Float4Fun hi, I too am using Real Mushrooms product. I've only used the dry caps, and I take them in cyvles that just seem to naturally take place, for example I'll take for 3 weeks, then I can feel the plateau.
I'm not very educated on how they work. Didn't know they produce L-glutsthione. I take that for my gut membrane, and I'd only learned that it's available from beef and cabbage.
I should mention that my neuropathy is also connected to my liver, gut biome etc. I've done extensive work there. But the it was after using lions Mane I improved neurological wise. Could have been by chance. But I choose to believe. I feel it work just in a few days,ike new growth on a plant. My thoughts grow new thoughts instead of repeating old patterns. When this plateaus I stop. It also of course too in tandem, helps my gut which helps my nerves (body attacking self, inflammation etc in appendages, brain, and othe organs)
Wish I could have been of more help!! When I run out of caps, I will try a tincture preparation and see if there's a difference.
@@objectivealchemy Thank you so much. Most helpful. I have been using Real Mushrooms Lions Mane for over a year but off and on last 4 months. When I stop I seem to have more short term memory issues. I also am bolstering the gut biome. You find the work of Dr. Mark Hyman of interest. He has a great experience in I’ll health leading him to Functional medicine. Look at his works on Longevity. Treating leaky gut equates to a lot of liver malfunction. Best wishes for regaining health.
@@objectivealchemy oh, I should add that I just ordered tincture from Lone Star direct good discount on first order Welcome15$ is the code… at the end they offer lions mane tinctures for $13.98 get stocked up !
hello, i am sorry to hear you also experience neuropathy in your hands. may i ask what other modalities you have tried? i am at the beginning of my journey and just trying to resolve pain :(
I have taken lions mane about 6 months ago as a supplement and found that there was a noticeable improvement in my brain function, not that I was smarter or didn’t to figure out problems, but it seem to allow my best cognitive abilities prior to my 60’s, to come to mind without delay. My mood was clearly better. Not one episode of depression ever came up, which perhaps made normal thinking and other functions more available to me? Over the period of 2 months I took it everyday, and when I didn’t find it available until recently, it seemed to level my attitude and attention until the last month or so . Oddly enough the last two days the depression has come back with a vengeance but still I am able to “see it” more than “be it”. Also I have found some available,so this evening I took the recommended dosage, and I am quietly watching if and how it’ll affect me. It’s been several hours since I took it, and my observing the depression has been going down little by little. Tomorrow I will continue with the lions mane supplement and observe any and all changes for the better.
That's a very helpful post, Rick. Thank you!
hope your doing well... it's very interesting mushroom
I’m waiting for your video describing the effects you observed!
I've had long covid for over 3½ years but didn't realize what it was for year until it got much worse. I was already taking supplements but the one of the first new things I tried after perusing several long covid support groups was lion's mane, which several people recommended. I believe it has helped me avoid, for the most part, the brain fog so many LC sufferers have. Even with all my various symptoms I often feel a lot of mental energy - more than I previously had for year prior to taking it. I now make my own powder from the fresh mushroom I get at the local farmer's market and have also grown my own. I currently 1 tsp a day, about 2500 mg.
I just talked with my doc today and we both determined that long-covid is what my issue is. I'm sad to hear that it's now been 4 years for you. Please tell me that you are getting better. What support groups have you been involved with?
Heard that coming term covid is actually an mRNA side effect that nattokubase can help
Nattokinase
@@bernardcohen332 Yes - I've been taking NK for a long time now nd it helped immediately.

I love that you mentioned that if it is of benefit by say rewiring or healing the brain in some ways its benefits shouldn't dwindle and falter if ppl stop using it. This piqued my interest because that's something I've noticed when reading people's reviews. They would say "I stopped taking it for a set amount of time and wow was that a mistake", and they hop right back on it. The video I watched just before this was about a person who decided to try it for 30 days -- in powdered form. He quickly noticed some great benefits and then forgot to take it with him on a trip and he quickly noticed a drop and went back on it. As you mentioned, how is it healing if the improvements disappear with time? At least when it comes to the studies you mentioned. With that said, I've decided to give it a try for myself as well. Where I currently reside there aren't many options for a Lions Mane tincture so I choose the best one I can get. I'll keep all this in mind and be respectively skeptical until I see improvement in myself. I can't wait to hear back from you about your experience!
More testing should be done. If it does create new pathways, how long does it take? But, like this video states... It may never actually create a new anything.
Testing on mice shows that it helps in comities ability memory etc but dwindles after a week or so of not using.
So using daily is best atleast 5 mg a day I believe I read could be wrong
What a great presentation: realistic, research based and even personalized. Thank you 🙏🏼
My husband and I are new to your channel. I want to share my experience with lions mane. April 8,2023 I broke my shoulder. The bone itself has healed but I've been struggling with getting my nerves and tendons etc healed. I've had limited range of motion. About 3 weeks ago we bought our first ever lions mane mushrooms. I dried it and ground it into a powder. I've been putting that power in everything including our coffee. Today I have roughly 98% of my range of motion back! I have no idea if the lion's mane is helping my nerves and tendons directly or if it's healing something in my brain. But the pain is down to about a .5 now. I scratched the back of my neck with that hand for the first time in a year! This is definitely one of many of nature's super foods!!!
THAT IS SO AWESOME!
@@icareforyourbrainwithdr.su7103 Is she using it in a raw form, which you advised against, or that it is ineffective that way. Maybe dried is not the same as raw.
@@icareforyourbrainwithdr.su7103 Do you have a video on Parkinson's? What I'm dealing with, as well as extreme, stubborn eczema. Both incredibly challenging, discouraging. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Also have a female friend (30's) who is taking anti psychotic meds because she hears voices. I'm very worried about long term effects, but she doesn't seem worried, is willing to trust the doc. Any info/links would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
I'm looking forward to seeing your updated video after a month of what you think of Lion's Mane Mushrooms after trying them yourself!
I took lion's mane for a bit (capsules) and I think it may have helped (too many factors to know for sure, and I am bad at writing things down). Couldn't afford for a bit, so I was off of it and funny enough had an suboccipital craniectomy surgery ( for chiari malformation ) and was involved in a study for it, so I didnt want to reintroduce until the study was done. Restarting today, we'll see what I find. Heck, if it's placebo effect (perhaps relating to depression for me) I'll still take it!
Some things I think may impact my brain:
-chiari
-long covid
-IBS
-depression and anxiety, fairly bad for the past decade
-ADHD
-POTS like syndromes but not diagnosed
Update???
I use powder lionmain in my meal. Ground Brown flax, rosemary, cinnamon, fenugreek, chlorella, turmeric, ginger, black pepper, cayenne pepper, nutmeg: all powder.

I have always wanted to believe in neuroplasticity and nerve regeneration in any way shape or form. I am just amazed at how the universe seems to work. I believe the universe believes in all of us and I just have to listen when suddenly surprise surprise surprise I hear something somewhere someplace sometime that just helps me out. This coming October 13th Friday 2023, I am scheduled for a surgical retinal reattachment. So just imagine my shock and surprise and absolute Delight that you mentioned our eyeballs specifically the retina. Tempe, for the longest of times I've been convinced that whatever ails me has always been in my head anyway, from an overall health aspect that is absolutely true for me. I'm wishing you well and all the success with all that you do, and deservedly so.
I’ve been struggling with memory problems for the last few months. Going to try it and see how I do, thank you for the informative video. This was very helpful.
Best supplement I’ve ever taken and I have both anxiety and ADHD.
Very interesting analysis. I have used a tea that has lions and mushroom and I really believe it helps me think clearer and focus better on the days I have used it. I am 76 yrs old and have developed a focusing problem that I call Senior Attention deficit disorder! I don’t know if there is such a thing but that’s what it feels like to me.
I got the tea from a wonderful little tea shop in Branson Missouri called TeaMaze. It is owned by a lovely little Japanese Lady who was trained by a Japanese tea master. She is very helpful in pointing to the teas that help in various health concerns. I wish I could afford to have it on hand all the time.
you can grow it at home using a kit.
Thank you for your comment i am going to try giving my mom this
Looking forward to the one month update!
Me too, this was 6 months ago!
My husband has been diagnosed with circulatory dementia and this sounds great! Any little improvement would be great. Thank you! Love your discussion
Hoping these will help reverse any shrinkage of my brain following antipsychotics. I literally defeated my phycosis on my own with deep self reflection as to how and why it was happening. Schizophrenia is also called double mindedness, and it's an issue if the mind. All I had to do was mend my mind back into one. I suffered terrible rebound psychosis by way of dopamine super sensitivity during my antipsychotic withdrawal, and it didn't stop until I did what I mentioned.
I'm having depression really horrible after taking it yesterday 😪
Dr. Sullivan I'm so grateful for your approach, your interest in safety and effectiveness & and just being a bright spot in the maze of the medical world. Anyone with neurological issues needs someone like you. How do we get you cloned?
Thanks so much for this informative video! I'm so curious, what's the update after one month ???
I would love to see the update about this! :)
LM definitely has a subtle effects. It improves deep sleep as measured by Oura.
You explained stepwise better than my stats lecturer! Thank you for this video. It was very engaging!
The best thing to consider with any supplement is to get the best current study data available. This was a reasoned and objective video, usually in very short supply... I do take the Lions Mane extract capsules, daily (I only take "supplements" when actual blood work is done by my Doc and shows that I may be low in some). If a good study eventually shows beneficial effect and is supported by multiple studies, I'd stop. taking the extract capsules. In the meantime, I watch for any new study results.
Notice any difference ? Placebo?
I didn't know about the retinal regeneration until just now. I haven't seen any "lightning" for about a year. I've had some pretty bad fits of coughing & there is no indication that anything is coming loose.
I've been making my own lions mane tinctures for years. I use the hot water/alcohol preparation and find it beneficial
I used a lion's mane tincture to help overcome brain fog after a diagnosis of type 1 diabetes and DKA. I now maintain my dosing over a year later with 1 capsule a day.. But I do feel like the tincture was more effective.
Thank you for all the info you share with us.
Ha! Thanks for the info! Love your background! I'm growing a lion's mane block. Bought it for $25 at a farmer's market. It's going alright but it turned brown as I didn't realize the sun hit that spot. Oh well.... not sure it's going to be ok to eat. We'll see.
I only ever seek medical advice from social media. It’s always throughly researched tested unbiased and honest. Just like the Joe Rogan show. Thank you
I would be more careful about that. People can have self serving motives if they've got something to sell, or have a personal bias. Joe Rogan sometimes allows bad information and conspiracy theories on his show that go unchallenged.
She seems very careful about giving accurate info, and values properly done studies, but doesn't completely disregard smaller, less conclusive preliminary studies. Many, or most are not that careful out there.
@@lrduff I wonder if that is a real dude according to his name he looks like an AI
@@LilLucky2012 could be, but if it was AI that someone is using to deceive people and promote misinformation, I don't think they would use AI in their name and give it away.
What about simply eating the mushroom every day? Is that less effective than a tincture? Or..how much of the actual plant should one take to match the suggested tincture dosage?
I don’t see the link .... I am going to buy the supplement and let the company know that I knew about it through your video. Thank you Dr Sullivan
Thanks - this is something I have been interested in and might give it a try. If so, I will also be giving to my 96-year-old mom.
Be careful, it had me pissing out of the wrong hole all day.

My question is: Are mushrooms toxic? Do they cause mold toxins and contributers to candida.They are growing in dark, damp environments, aren't they?Im definitely rotting for them .Thanks
@hopebeel8765 thanks.
I have trigeminal neuralgia. I've had this monster for 27 years. I've been pain-free and drug-free for 3 years. I take taurine, lion's mane, multivitamins, and recently added Alpha Lipoic Acid, and Turmeric Curcumin. Giving the myelin sheath what it needs is where it's at and costs me 52 cents a day. I learned this from those who have beat MS. It's healing instead of drugging, so it takes time. I just take the amount that it says on the bottle, no more, no less. There are over 30 supplements that restore the myelin sheath. Once I found what worked for me I stuck with it. I've been on the drug treadmill. It's not sustainable.
Some times we have an intolerance to mushrooms. 1. How to know if they are a bother? Most people don't notice intolerances. If drank or eaten, not every day in big amounts. 2. If we take the Lions Mane when is it not good for you??
I bought some of the powder on Amazon. Just took it today. Its definitely doing something good. Respond to this comment in the future if you want an update. I hear its important to make sure its all dissolved before taking it. I felt a little stomach discomfort because i didn't break it down enough but i feel really good in the rest of my body and my brain so far.
Any chance of an update?

I don’t see a subscribe button or the link or information about Lone Star. I am in Canada, but and have 2 different powdered brands of Lions Main Purica & Host Defence…I will try the tincture version of this, as you say it is probably the way to go with this, and I will try to source out Lone Star just to see what their all about! I will keep checking in I have been on this for almost 2 months, I don’t know if it’s a placebo effect, but I do feel like maybe I’m a little clearer, not sure, taking ½ tsp of powder and 2 capsules . I will try taking it 2 x a day rather than all in the morning. Thanks a bunch, for doing this…Linda from Ontario CA
Do you have information regarding GABA supplement and or Methelyne blue?
Thank you for all the usefull info especially ET
GABA is ineffective because it cannot cross the blood brain barrier
Can you make an update video?
Is there a particular mushroom ya really like? Great review!
Also did ya like it?
As I said in my previous comment I am tyring to use this again. But 2.5 years ago I used it briefly, and literally noticed that things seemed brighter and colors were more vivid while going out to walk. I have started making kefir again daily along with some bovine colostrum, as antipsychotics seemed to wreck my gut.
So it’s brain food
Needs to be a constant..) or say weekly!???
Definitely not daily. I heard a few people saying they felt worse if it was taken daily. Do some research on it though.
Have you released the follow up? If so, what is its title?
First, thank you Dr. Sullivan for the brsin health content ypu provide through your You Tube channel. I stumbled upon one of your videos earlier this year and find the fact-based, knowledge-based, scientific- based information ypu provide so helpful. I am on a journey to better heakth for which I am having a difficult time because it is complicated by trying to slowly taper off of Gabapentin. On my journey to better health, Ive also been researching supplements, foods as healing, meditation( thanks for the two meditation videos you did- they were great and I listen to them often). I began a more plant-based diet, specifically ensuring I included foods good for brain health, one being mushrooms. The concern for me with regard to taking supplements, including a mushroom tincture, is not knowing contraindications, if any, with the Gabapentin. I want off of the Gabapentin, which had not helped with my migraines for which it was prescribed but rather I believe is causing memory issues and internal tremors 2 years into using it. Any thoughts about using the tincture while taking Gabapentin? Not expecting medical advice but rather opinion/ thoughts.
Additionally, will you be doing a third meditation?
I smoked weed for 16 years absolutely ruined my short term memory, been taking lions mane for about 6 months after about a month my memory had become noticeably better.
If you told me a 4 digit code before taking id have forgotten it within a minute I no longer have this problem.
Bare in mind I also quit smoking weed so that has also helped
@ChrisFarmer-g5e I’ll have a look thanks.
I take mushrooms often they are very therapeutic

@@icareforyourbrainwithdr.su7103 Thanks! I have now watched and commented!
I'd be really curious about research that explored effects of eating the mushroom as a food? That would make placebo, double-blind studies nearly impossible. And, we also know that mushroom are highly perishable, so we simply don't know what compounds might be lost or destroyed in the tincture or supplement creation process. I'm also curious what quantity of fresh lions mane mushroom might be equivalent to the supplement dose you suggest.
I have drug resistant epilepsy so medication not helping, does anyone have some knowledge about mushrooms, herbs or other natural medicine which can help?
Fantastic video! Greeetings from Brazil
Hello Dr.! Would you describe Neuroeducation and what does bridging the gap between neuroscience and education mean?
What about adding tumeric and cheyene,I heard it helps?
I've heard/read that it's best to take for a while (5 days, a week?) and then give it a break for a few days to allow the brain to clear out old cells, to recover from the activity, or something to that affect? Or, maybe to allow the receptors to rejuvenate? Same with other brain or adaptogen supps. Makes sense.
Very much appreciate hearing your opinion on this supplement. Thank you.
My daughter and i are both having increased brain fog and fatigue 5 weeks after having covid. Will try Lion's Mane again. Not sure can do higher doses since my system is trigger happy & i become sensitized if i take too much.

I have Parkinson's and have been taking Lion's Mane for a while. I haven't noticed an improvement in PD symptoms but cognitively seem to be doing pretty well, most of the time anyway. But I'm also taking other brain supplements, some of which show promise for PD and other neuro disorders in preliminary studies I see on PubMed; gingko, bacopa, Gotu Kola, ashwaganda, and more.
I use a tincture. About 6ml /day. I notice that my dreams are more vivid and that I remember them much more often. But…I’m still not a math genius!

@@annetowgood not great, I got a stomachache but it may have been the way I was taking it (tincture with alcohol).

I have recently been using a tincture of Lion’s Mane from a small batch producer in New York State and was wondering if it was worth using.

I still have my nose run so much that you would think it was a bad nose bleed. I also hurt my neck in the fall, the are area where I had a MVD on my right side for TN is swollen, but looks kind of normal because it was a sunken in area after the MVD surgery. So which doctor do I take this information to? I went to my neurologist first. I have had more trouble with falling, walking, cognitive skills and had a bad UTI recently. My face took a big blow.

I was having muscle twitches since 2019 when covid was around, and after a year or so of lions mane they happen so much less, significantly less, I wonder if it is attributed to some extent to lions mane
Thanks @timmatheny-lo9ze. You and other comments confirmed for me. I grind it and incl tsp/Tbsp in coffee grounds. Wasn't sure but I see improvement in memory as well as mood. Wasn't sure it was the mushrooms. 3rd bag using approx 1yr.. Store in glass in cupboard.
I've tried Lucidril, Vasopressin, Hydergine, Piracetam, Eldepryl without success. I've also tried Acetyl L-carnitine, ginkgo, Citicoline without success. I was thinking about PS and Lion's Mane as the next step. IDK. Coffee and marijuana are the only things that work for me.
Have you tried Ashwagandha powder? I take a little scoop in liquid every morning.
Great thanks ❤❤❤❤
The Japanese have been working with different fungi for many years. Why not look into their studies. This has been known for a long time.
I can't help but wonder what if you increased BDNF while challenging the brain by learning.
The old saying, use it or lose it. Producing BDNF might be temporary if said connections are not utilized? I can see why BDNF might be temporary without the reinforcement of Learning. I also wonder since there is a falloff after discontinuation that maybe this stuff should be cycled. On another note: As in all things pro active, ie, exercise, learning and eating nutritious foods etc only work while we are doing them. After we quit, there is a fall off. The aging brain does not have the BDNF as a younger person and as such, when one begins taking Lyon's Maine mushroom, one has to stay on it to continually as it would be logical for the aging brain to experience less BDNF as before if not taking it. I would be interested in feedback.
I was curious and wanted feedback in this forum here. Thanks @WoodsKourtney
