“Trees are the best natural chemists.” - Jaakko Halmetoja

When Jaakko Halmetoja finds some spare time, the self-proclaimed herbalist often goes into the woods to find ingredients for one of his many tinctures. Over the years, he has acquired an impressive amount of knowledge on medicinal mushrooms, and other earth grown nutrients. Jakko aims to make the information more accessible with the Biohacker’s Handbook, an ambitious project by several Finnish researchers to offer actionable guidelines to your own biology.

Jaakko Halmetoja is a nutrition expert, author and professional speaker. Among his many fields of expertise are the benefits and unique uses of mushrooms including chaga mushroom and cordyceps, cacao, wild foods, various berries and medicinal herbs. He’s even hired a translator to understand some early Russian works about adaptogens and mushrooms. Equipped with the passion of a true entrepreneur, Jaakko also maintains a non-profit database for finding local springs around Finland and hosts weekly talk show called InspiRadio Podcast.

In this episode we dig into the workings of these powerful foods and how you can add them to your personal diet.
