A short conversational interview (recorded Jan 2, 2026) in which Matthew Kelly asks a guest about their first experience with functional mushrooms. The guest says they first learned about them from wellness podcasts—specifically "Wellness Witch"—and describes a preference for holistic, natural products. More discussion about cordyceps and the product "Rainbow" is referenced but not expanded in this chunk.

How do you first come across functional mushrooms and that sort of ingredient? And was cordyceps, the first one that you tried, which is obviously one of the three in Rainbow?
I think through just listening to wellness podcasts. I used to listen to a podcast called Wellness Witch. Wellness Witch, Yeah. I don't think she does the podcast anymore. And she. I think she spoke about functional mushrooms, and I was like, oh, I need to try that. And I was like, I'm always very holistic and natural. Like, I don't like to take stuff that's not natural.
