When someone tells me: “oh you have to try this it’s SO good” … I usually think, “ehhhh it’s probably not *that* good!
I am a hard sell.
I truly have never tried anything SO effective as this new Mind Bloom functional mushroom blend. 🍄🍄🟫✨

Enhance Presence and Focus with Mind Bloom Functional Mushrooms
Some people say that time is the greatest gift.
I’d argue that presence, what you DO with your time, is the greatest gift!
On any given day, our brains are swirling between all the things we need to do: laundry, order school supplies, what’s for dinner, that client that needs to be emailed back, the bill that needs to be paid, did I feed the dog? The list goes on and on.
Can you relate? 👋🏼 That I-have-a-million-tabs-open-in-my-brain feeling.
Feeling scattered is our brain signaling for margin, rest, quiet, rejuvenation, nutrients.
Mind Bloom, a functional mushroom blend, has helped shift my brain into presence and focus in the moment, the current task at hand. Fully focused on my kids, work, exercise routine, conversation or task. Whatever the moment brings, I feel fully IN the moment rather than feeling pulled in a million different directions!
In this overstimulated world, wow that is a gift.
Mind Bloom is perfect for…
- overstimulation
- overwhelm
- difficulty focusing or completing a task
- a caffeine free energy boost
- feeling pulled in a million different directions
- feeling scattered
- rebuilding and rewiring brain pathways
- aging (newsflash: after 25 we all are! 🙃)
- kids + college students going back to school (going to be a game changer)
- your parents + grandparents
- anyone who can’t use hemp based products (with a husband in the military I am over the moon excited for this!)
Why do I feel so scattered?
I always tell all my clients, your symptoms matter—how YOU feel matters. Don’t let anyone persuade you that your symptoms are just something you have to deal with because it’s “common for women to feel that way.”
That “I-have-a-million-tabs-open” feeling is real.
That “I can’t fully participate in the moment, because my mind is scattered” feeling is real.
That “I can’t focus despite all the coffee” feeling is real.
That “foggy brain” feeling is real.
Here’s why 👀👇🏽
When the brain is overloaded, rushed, stressed, constantly stimulated, constantly “on”, constantly achieving, our brain does not prioritize presence.
‘Living in the moment’ or “I just need to focus” isn’t as simple as bibbidi-bobbidi-boo.
Feeling scattered is our brain signaling for margin, rest, quiet, rejuvenation, nutrients.
Brain fog, fatigue and lack of concentration are signals for help!!
What are functional mushrooms?
Functional mushrooms, or adaptogens, help your body adapt to your specific stressor, external or internal, in the moment.
Functional mushrooms will adapt to meet your needs in the moment, so the benefits you receive are specific to you
and specific to your current needs. How beautiful and holistic is that?
Functional mushrooms are nothing new—they are rooted in ancient practices and have been used and prized for centuries to support the body’s energy and brain. The ancient Greeks and Romans gave them to warriors before battle for stamina and strength and they considered them the “food of the gods.”
Functional mushrooms are food grade, so yes something you could buy at the grocery store or farmers market to put in a stir fry!
Why Holistic Nutrition Prioritizes Brain Health as a Foundation for Health
Picture your brain as the foundation of your house. A strong foundation allows you to ‘weather the storms’ of life with more ease.
Your nervous system (brain + spinal cord) is the foundation.
Your brain is responsible for communication, movement, emotions, memory, though processing, responses. Your nervous system sends commands from the brain to the rest of the body.
Short answer: the success of ALL the other systems and organs in your body relies on the success of your brain + nervous system.
If you want to sleep better, have balanced hormones, feel energized, decrease anxious thoughts, regulate your metabolism, you have to start with the foundation—your brain and nervous system!
The Benefits of Mind Bloom Functional Mushroom Supplements
*This is not an overnight, put something in your Amazon cart, approach. This is a lifestyle shift of choosing margin over hurry, choosing breakfast over skipping it, choosing to not give into the urgency culture of century, choosing silence over news. Mind Bloom can play a beautiful role in this process.
For a deep lifestyle + nutrition dive, explore Rooted Resilience.
01 | Presence and focus
Mind Bloom supports mental clarity and focus in 10 minutes—it shifts your brain into a place to get stuff done, and get it done fully, without stress! When your brain is engaged and “fully online” the rest of your body will follow through.
This has helped me be fully present in the moment, rather than pulled in a million different directions.
The best way to describe the difference is like you have ONE, yes just one, tab open on your computer. Clear thoughts, clear attention, clear focus on the current task at hand rather than being overwhelmed and overstimulated by all the demands of life.
Whatever the task at hand is, I feel present and engaged—whether its playing in the pool with my kids, cleaning the house on Saturday morning or tackling my work to-dos, I’m amazed at n to just what I can get done, but how calm (not frazzled at all) I feel getting things done.
The Mind Bloom difference: Clarity and stamina to not only get a task done, but get it FULLY done with intention rather than getting it done in hurry.
02 | Sustainable energy
Your brain and nervous system are the control center! When these are functioning efficiently, the rest of your body will function more efficiently too, giving YOU energy to do what you need (and want) to do, rather than spending the majority of your energy staying afloat.
How does energy have to do with focus and the brain? Well when the body is in a weakened state of energy, it brilliantly prioritizes life sustaining functions over rational, focused thought.
With weakened energy, you feel brain fog, scattered, overwhelmed by even a small task. With Mind Bloom, your brain is shifted into a place of energy and clarity, so you can mentally and physically tackle what you need and want to do.
Cordyceps increase the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which provides the body with energy at the cellular level. Cordyceps increase oxygen uptake, blood flow, endurance and energy naturally without any caffeine!
I have noticed a big difference not just with clarity and focus but also daily energy and strength in my exercise routine big picture—I feel stronger and more gumption when I am actively running!
The Mind Bloom difference: My daytime energy and mental clarity feels stable even when I don’t get the best night of sleep, I snap back easier! Life curveballs don’t pull me fully down. That’s a gift!
03 | Decrease in anxious thoughts
Mind Bloom is not specifically for anxiety, and I totally wasn’t expecting it to help with anxious thoughts, BUT IT DOES.
And it totally makes sense why.
Anxious thoughts come from “what ifs”—worry about the future, rather than changing anything about the current moment. If you are focused on the present moment and living out that moment, then your brain isn’t even going to the “what ifs”. The ultimate proactive, holistic approach!
Stress greatly impacts how our prefrontal cortex functions—high levels of cortisol can wear down how our brain functions.
Stress begins to shrink our brains—a high flood of cortisol, norepinephrine and dopamine signals neurons to stop firing and turns off neurological function. Rational thought goes out the window.
The Mind Bloom difference: Supporting the body + brain’s stress response helps your brain navigate through the incoming anxious thought rather than spiraling downward.
04 | Long term brain health and neurological stamina
Let’s be real—we aren’t getting any younger! While wisdom increases with time and intuition with experience, our memory and brain health does decline with age.
This isn’t an all doom and gloom situation though—using your brain to learn, read, talk about difficult to understand topics, getting adequate sleep, eating fresh foods over processed foods all support our brains!
Functional mushrooms like cordyceps and lion’s mane can improve neurological function and memory even as we age down to the very cellular level.
Both cordyceps and lion’s mane are neuroprotective—supporting memory and cognitive health through the support of tissue growth, repair, and maintenance. Think of Mind Bloom like your car’s maintenance plan—if you get regular maintenance, your car will last a long time, but if you totally ignore all maintenance and “hope for the best” like many of us do with our health, you’ll most likely end up on the side of the road some day soon.
The Mind Bloom difference: In the moment support, takes effect in 10 minutes, but also doing something big picture to support your brain as you age. This is the ultimate holistic, preventative approach to WELLness!
How to pair Mind Bloom with your daily CBD routine
A daily hemp wellness routine works with functional mushrooms to give you the best in the moment and long term benefits.
CBD shifts the body towards homeostasis, when the body is in a state of balance, everything else will function more effectively.
Think of CBD like the strong roots of a tree and functional mushrooms as the flowers. CBD is your broad baseline of balance for your nervous system, affecting your sleep, stress response, mood, energy, immune system, metabolism and more. Functional Mushrooms are more specific and provide in the moment focus, presence and long term cognitive support.
The endocannabinoid system (which CBD benefits) is the only system interconnected to every other system in the body—giving you a beautiful baseline of balance. Functional mushrooms are enhancing and fine tuning the brain and nervous system more specifically.

Why Ingredients Matter
*With functional mushrooms gaining popularity, most of what’s on the market is sadly not effective or worth your money. 70% of functional mushrooms or adaptogens contain grain fillers and are do not match their labels. Green Compass uses only mushrooms that are USA Grown, FDA Registered, USDA Organic Certified, with NO grain fillers, pesticides, metals, solvents or mycotoxins. But we didn’t stop there: we have partnered with this farm to hand select the most nutrient-dense mushrooms which are supplied exclusively to Green Compass.
Each product comes with a third party Certificate of Analysis (CoA) to guarantee that you are getting USA-grown organic functional mushrooms, free of grain fillers, pesticides, metals, solvents, or mycotoxins and levels of ingredients and nutrients as promised on the label.
GC Sage™: Sage or Salvia comes from the Latin root word “to heal” and have been used as neuroprotective, brain tonics for centuries to boost memory, slow the cognitive decline associated with aging and quicken the senses. Proprietary organic sage extract supports focus, limits mental fog and increases attention to detail. Sage has been used by traditional cultures to support menopause symptoms, specifically hot flashes, and as a brain rebuilding tonic postpartum. GC Sage is only grown in one farm in the world due to its unique climate and soil and contains exceptionally high levels of polyphenolic compounds and rosmarinic acid (which is very neuroprotective and boosts dopamine cells—key for memory, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s).
Organic Cordyceps Militaris: A functional mushroom that features neuroprotective compounds that support memory and provide protection against free radicals, cordyceps enhance cellular or mitochondria antioxidant status. This functional mushroom contains cognition enhancing cordycepin which stimulates nerve growth factor in the brain and neuroprotective compounds that support memory—this is key for cognitive support as we age. Due to their ability to boost ATP production (the body’s energy fuel source), cordyceps can have a profound impact on physical and mental stamina, giving you that sustainable energy rather than a short lived burst of energy that caffeine gives. Cordyceps can also help with stamina during exercise (your body will be able to do more with similar effort) and recovery post exercise as they increase blood flow and enhance oxygen utilization.
Organic Full Spectrum Lion’s Mane: A functional mushroom that can bolster cognitive health through the support of tissue growth, repair, and maintenance. Big picture, long term brain health—this is the mushroom you want!! We use full spectrum lion’s mane, meaning we use both the fruiting body and the mycelium of the lion’s mane mushroom to get the intended health benefits we were looking for. With lion’s mane being full-spectrum, it includes the complete range of beneficial compounds that the mushroom has to offer, rather than isolating just one part or compound and creates the most nutrient dense end product and benefits.
