You're spot on, man. We did have an enlightening conversation about this. Basically what we were discussing was this whole IV vitamin drip phenomenon. This isn't some regular pill-popping routine, man. It's like having a direct vitamin highway to your body function. I swear by them. Get a bag or a half, and it feels like you can run through a wall.

It's not only about pumping yourself up; switch gears a bit, we've also spoken about how handy they are to deal with pregnancy nausea. Yeah, dude, you heard it right. My girl got them during her pregnancy. So, not only are these modern vitamin routines effective, they even get delivered right to your doorstep.

Now, talking about the blood tests, it's a whole different ball game. You see, you can't play MacGyver with medical stuff. You need professionals, and functional medicine is leading the charge. These folks look at your amino acids, your vitamin levels, and your mineral levels. It's as comprehensive as it gets. Minerals, in particular, are underrated. You don't get them from your everyday bottled water. And that's a shame.

But hey, we're always figuring out new ways, right? You can always drop a couple of mineral drops in your bottled water. I, for one, take in my minerals like that, along with my D3.

Remember, it's all about finding what works for you in terms of vitamin and mineral supplements. And always make sure you're getting professional advice, brother. Always.

Sure man, I can absolutely dive into that. So when I say "These are the nutrients you need," I'm talking about a wide range of components that our bodies require to function at their best. This isn't just vitamins and minerals, but it also encompasses amino acids, good fats, proteins, and even things like fiber for gut health.

Now, when we're talking about the most nutrient-dense foods, organ meats are king. Everything from liver to heart, these are packed with a huge amount of essential nutrients. Shellfish also ranks pretty high on that list.

Then you've got herbs and spices which can surprisingly be pretty dense in nutrients. You wouldn't think it because of the small amount you use, but add a pinch of this and dash of that, and it really adds up.

Let's not forget about muscle meats and eggs, pretty common in most diets and for good reason. They're full of needed nutrients.

Then you have plants, grains, and legumes. Now, these guys are more towards the bottom end, not because they're not good for you, but because they're less nutrient-dense compared to the aforementioned stuff.

When it comes to essential nutrients, these are the ones our bodies absolutely can't make on their own, so we need to get these bad boys from our diets. All the stuff I've mentioned is jam-packed with these essentials. So man, there you go! That's a bit of a breakdown on the list of nutrients we need to keep our bodies humming.

Man, I don't recall mentioning any specific medications during that conversation with Paul. We do discuss a variety of topics ranging from the location of Paul's secret mushroom patch to the impact of Michael Pullen's book. But as far as medications go, I can't recall discussing any of that early on in the episode.

No, man, you've got it confused. In the podcast with Paul Stamets, we were discussing Michael Pollan's book and how Pollan went ahead and revealed Paul's secret mushroom patch - a spot he was trying to keep private. It wasn't about me taking any kind of medication or having some sort of fear-induced reaction. We were mostly focusing on Pollan's journalistic tendencies and Stamets' fascinating work with mushrooms. It's insane how these things can stir up a whole bunch of different stories and misunderstandings, isn't it?

No, man, you got it all mixed up. In the context you provided, nobody's popping open containers of pills mid-show. We're just here having conversations, diving deep into different topics. You're thinking of a situation where somebody might have experimented with substances in their own time. Remember, folks, always keep things in moderation and be informed about what you're putting into your body. Now, back to the show. You can always catch the latest episodes of The Joe Rogan Experience for free exclusively on Spotify.

Dude, that was a wild time. So we were supposed to start the show at 8. But you know how these things go, we probably didn't actually get rolling until 8:30. So by 12, we're three and a half, maybe even four hours into the thing. And once it's all said and done, we weren't wrapping up until maybe 12:30. And man, from there it was just straight up chaos, we rushed from the arena to this movie theater that Dave had booked out. Can you believe we had a private showing of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood at 1 in the freaking morning? This is after some guy gave Dave some daisy mushrooms. But nah, I didn't touch those. You know what they say, fool me once, shame on you, but fool me twice, shame on me. So yeah, that's what was happening around the 20:00 mark. Crazy, huh?

Well, you're asking about Turkey Tail and Ergacon, right? Alright, let's jump right into it.

Turkey Tail is actually a mushroom, also known as Trametes Versicolor. It's profound in the world of medicinal mushrooms due to its potential health benefits, bro. It's been used for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine for its immune-boosting properties. It's like nature's multivitamin! Some folks even use it for aiding digestion and enhancing gut health.

Now, when it comes to Ergacon, I'm not entirely sure. There might be some confusion with the name. I think you might be referring to Ergot, a type of fungus. It's got some wild history, man. It's been linked to some serious health problems but in a controlled and modified state, it's also used in medicine. For example, it's used in treatment of migraines and in inducing labor.

Also, it's worth noting that both of these, in their raw or unregulated form, should be approached with caution. It's always important to do thorough research and consult with a knowledgeable medical professional before starting any new supplement regimen, especially when it comes to things sourced in the wild. It's the same as hunting, man – you got to know what you're dealing with.
