Teemu Arina dives into the world of Functional Mushrooms with Maximilian Endter, co-founder of Smaints.
Maximilian's passion is to explore the potential of human beings. As a biohacker, mycologist and the co-founder of Smaints, he has made it his mission to combine the ancient teachings of traditional medicine with the modern findings of science - and to share it with the world.
This not only manifested in the form of products loved by thousands of people, but also practical ideas for reaching your highest potential. Max's personal journey to optimal gut health 8 years ago led him not only to the incredible effects of functional mushrooms, but also to discovering everyday biohacks with the greatest possible leverage.
This conversation was recorded in April 2024.
