Join us as we dive into Maria Camila Giraldo's incredible journey to founding Fungiments! After hitting dead ends on her healing journey from a severe accident, Maria connected to a doctor who introduced her to the power of functional mushrooms. Before working with her functional doctor, Maria had gone through an array of treatments including traditional prescriptions to help with anxiety, stress, and more but left her symptoms worse. After several months of research and development, Fungiments was born, and combines the best of nature and science, only using sustainably sourced and clinically proven ingredients. 
Before building her wellness empire, you may have seen Maria on TV. After starring in shows like Queen of the South in Latin America, the Colombian actress made her US acting debut this year with a role on Netflix’s Griselda – along with two highly anticipated films with actors, Alec Baldwin and Al Pacino premiering later this year. 
In this week's episode, you'll learn:
 The pivotal moment that led Maria Camila to explore the amazing benefits of mushrooms.
 How Fungiments is adding fun and "superpowers" to everyday life!
 The incredible power of natural alternatives for boosting energy and easing anxiety.
