Who We Are
Who We Are
Hy, Everyone,
we are Brett and Nicolle, and we are the founders of Mushroomtropics. Our mission with Mushroomtropics is rooted in our personal struggles with ADHD, anxiety, and insomnia. Over the course of many years, we were taking prescribed medications – Adderall, Prozac –, and we became increasingly disconcerted with the way they made us feel. We took note of our consistent, unsuccessful outcomes. Said medications and coffees made us feel edgy, jittery, and even more anxious. As a result, we went on a quest to find a clean, natural energy source that would catalyze better focus, mood and even better sleep, but in a calming way.
Being advocates of health and wellness, we went against the grain, passionately rejecting Western approaches to resolve our various conditions. As such, we came across Adaptogenic mushrooms as a possible avenue to help with our ADHD, anxiety, and even insomnia.
After delving into extensive research, we began to experiment with an array of functional mushrooms and nootropics, and the benefits they purport to offer. Little by little, after routinely trying the powder concoctions mixed in hot water , we became true believers in the magical fungi . We took note of how clean the energy felt, and we noticed a natural improvement in memory and focus.
Ever since, we decided to launch our medical mushroom and Nootropic blends and chocolate bars. It turns out, there are natural mushrooms and Nootropics that optimize cognition and overall health, all without negative side effects like Adderall, Prozac, etc. We want to be part of a revolution that sought to diverge from the norm: medications and coffees. We found a gift that pays back, and one that we can over offer to the world. This is our way of paying it forward!
