    Reishi (Ganoderma) Mushroom and KING Coffee

    Jun 10, 2020 • Wellness & Lifestyle

    Oh my, do I have some healing goodness to share with you.

    One month ago, I came across a product called KING Coffee from Organo. I was immediately intrigued after reading the testimonies as I was in the throws of my detox protocol and struggling in a major way with extreme sadness and anxiety. I’m also in a stressed state… trying to finish my cookbook and keep up with the madness happening in our world. I can imagine you are stressed as well! This product came into my life at the most divine time, at a time when I needed it most. Now, I won’t go a day without it and my body is asking for it. It’s about time you hear about the Organo products as well, so you can take advantage of the healing goodness that is Reishi Mushroom – and not just any Reishi – but the actual spores (aka the mushroom seed) from this medicinal mushroom that is a FUNCTIONAL FOOD.

    What sets the Organo company apart is the patent they have on how they harvest the spores. It’s a difficult process that takes 5-7 months where they have to gently crack open the shell to get to the spore (seed) and then turn it into a powder that is carefully crafted into other products and beverages.

    After drinking the KING Coffee for one month, I knew I had to become an educator and distributor, so here we are. Eeek! Are you ready to learn all about the magic that is Reishi?!

    WAIT, ONE MORE THING:

    I know I talk about how caffeine is no bueno for hormones. I know I have caffeine-free latte recipes on this blog. I know I talk about it constantly and this might seem counterproductive. I know! BUT, reishi is an adaptogen and these reishi spores in particular cancel out the negative effects of caffeine, meaning no blood sugar spike, no cortisol spike, no jitters, no anxiety, no sleep disruption, no headache and no dehydration. Just a calm, focused and steady energy with no crash. I know. It sounds to good to be true and if it was, I wouldn’t be sharing it. This stuff is LEGIT. If coffee isn’t your thing they also have hot chocolate (not vegan though) or tea BUT only the KING Coffee (and the spore powder) have the actual spores, which is the most beneficial part for healing the body and bringing it back into homeostasis. Also, the only coffee that is organic is KING coffee.

    What is Ganoderma (Reishi)?

    Ganoderma Lucidum is the scientific name for Reishi Mushroom, the powerhouse of all medicinal and adaptogenic mushrooms. For thousands of years, Ganoderma Lucidum has been used by practitioners of traditional Asian medicine as the highest rank of all herbs found in the Chinese pharmacopeia. Ganoderma gives your body what it needs and offers body intelligence, bringing it back into balance the way it was intended to function. If you need energy it will give you an energy boost. If you have anxiety it will calm your nerves. It does something different for everyone because we all need different things at different times in our lives. The benefits range from more restful sleep to fighting cancer. I know!

    Organo is the only North American company that has partnered with the largest certified organic Ganoderma plantation in the world to bring this treasure of life to the Western world. In 2009, Organo and its partners celebrated the groundbreaking of their $240 million Gano Herb industrial park, the largest of its kind in the world. The Organo mushrooms are grown in the beautiful Wagyu Mountains in Asia, not in a lab and not in plastic bags (as some other companies do).

    The Many Healing Benefits of Ganoderma (Reishi) Mushroom:

    There are thousands of published articles on the benefits of Ganoderma. Research has shown an array of benefits with no known contraindications or drug interactions. There is no known toxicity levels of Ganoderma meaning you can take as much as you want…. like bottles worth and nothing bad will happen! In fact, you may heal even faster haha. (There are testimonies of people doing this).

    Some documented benefits include:

    • Detoxification (mold, lyme, parasites, candida, viruses, heavy metals)
    • Reduced inflammation (Rheumatoid Arthritis, ulcerative colitis, IBS)
    • Balanced immune function and modulation (autoimmunity, illness, disease, HIV, HPV, Cancer, Tumors)
    • Reversal of amyloid plaques on the brain (alzheimer’s dementia, parkinsons disease)
    • Increase in GABA (improved adrenal fatigue and cortisol levels, better sleep)
    • Supports mitochondria and cell energy
    • Protects from WIFI
    • Hormone Supportive
    • Cortisol and Blood Sugar Balance (diabetes, stress, anxiety)
    • Regulates pH in the body
    • PCOS – helps regulate blood sugar, insulin resistance, anti-androgenic

    These infographics have more details on the different types of mushrooms, which products contain each, and their benefits!



    Why add Reishi to Coffee?

    Because you will never forget to drink your morning cup. Sometimes we forget to take our supplements… but we never forget about our coffee. Coffee is the most consumed liquid on the planet. In fact, it has the highest compliance rate of any substance. Nobody has to remind you to consume it! It only makes sense to add the world?s most researched herb to the most consumed liquid. If coffee is not your thing, remember they have the spore capsules. There is something for everyone.


    DO NOT ORDER FROM AMAZON – PRODUCTS ARE EXPIRED AND/OR COUNTERFEIT AND PEOPLE HAVE GOTTEN SICK.


    How Did I Start with the products?

    I bought a box of king coffee retail to try it first before becoming a distributor. I fell in love and knew I wanted the discounted pricing and wanted to put the king coffee on autoship so I never run out!

    Who would benefit from an Organo wholesale account?

    If you love these amazing products and would like 33% off retail pricing as a consumer, if you have an interest in growing an at-home business (you can be on my team!), or if you are a practitioner looking to offer the highest of quality medicinal mushrooms to your clients, you would benefit from a wholesale account. Click here to sign up with me.

    How does it work?

    The wholesale account (which is also utilized by distributors) is $49.95/year. You will receive products at wholesale cost anytime throughout the year, with no minimum requirements, no autoships, and no obligation to distribute unless you choose to do so. With the account set up you also receive a Starter Kit (promo pack) that contains various Organo™ product samples to try, including multiple types of coffees and even hot chocolate (kid friendly)!

    How do I get started?

    1. To set up your wholesale account:?Click here.
    2. Click ‘Join Now’, then click ?Distribution Partner Sign Up? (again, this is wholesale, but with an option to distribute if you choose – no pressure to sell!).
    3. Click the the English ‘Starter Kit’ $49.95 to your order.
    4. Then add any other packs or additional items to your order that you would like shipped to you immediately at the bottom of the page
    5. Select ‘Autoship Selection’.
    6. Here you can choose to have items placed on autoship, or simply select ‘Skip Autoship’.
    7. Complete your personal information and select a username/password.

    • My Distributor number if you need it for reference is 10002280904.

    Why is KING coffee more expensive?

    For one, the KING coffee is organic. It also contains a therapeutic dose of reishi spores (17-80x potency of lucidum (Reishi) mushroom). The outer cracked shell of the reishi mushroom takes 5-7 months to harvest. It takes 2,000 lb of spore powder to make 2 lb of Spore capsules. This spore powder is infused into the king coffee.

    What is the difference between the black coffee and the KING coffee? What about the other coffee products?

    The Black coffee is a darker roast and contains organic reishi fruiting body powder (ganoderma lucidum). If you want a more affordable cup of coffee and want to promote healthier detoxification, this is your go-to sachet. The Black coffee is not organic but the mushrooms are.

    The KING coffee is organic and contains organic reishi spores. This is their top shelf product. The best of the best. It has a delicious premium coffee taste. I do not taste the mushrooms at all!

    Most of the other coffee coffee products are not vegan. They also do not contain the spores. I will only drink the King Coffee!


    I want to learn more! How?

    There are educational facebook groups with videos, testimonials and more posted by health professionals, customers and doctors. I HIGHLY recommend listening to this podcast episode for allllll the good details about reishi spores from an integrative practitioner!!

    Please contact me if you want to be added to the group to read the testimonies!

      I appreciate the post and I wish you had gone into more detail about the adaptive claims. This is my first time encountering this term and upon reading I see it has been labeled as misleading by both the EU and FDA. Therefore I’m wary of any such claims.

      I also find it insidious to promote an MLM.

what are you guys up to today?! I’m installing our new shower filter that I can’t wait to share about, running errands, cleaning, thinking about dinner, the usual Sunday things 💗💗💗
    HANDLE NAME CHANGE!! I’ve been wanting to do th HANDLE NAME CHANGE!!

I’ve been wanting to do this for a while as a fresh start with all the changes to my “brand” in the last year. It feels right to just use my name 😀 (fun fact: I haven’t taken my hubbys last name yet because of business paperwork that I’m too lazy to figure out 😅 name changes are complicated) 

@theglowingfridge started out of my love for the plant based lifestyle but so much has changed in the last 9 years and I’ve been itching to update. Nothing else will change and my blog will still remain as is, if you still use my recipes and such. Love you all and thank you for supporting me through all these changes 🤍🤍🤍

When my blood sugar is on a nasty rollercoaster, I’m not the best mama that I know I should be for my girl. I’m more irritable and short. So I prioritize protein, healthy fats and carbs at each meal. This helps me feel balanced and provides energy to play and chase after her all day! I need all the fuel I can get.

    I don’t get ready everyday… But when I do I f I don’t get ready everyday…

But when I do I feel better, duh! And more confident. More productive. Happier in general. Of course I have super lazy days but I try to get myself together because I’m more likely to leave the house, you know mamas? I hate when people ask “why do you get ready if you’re home all day”.. 

I’m sharing different content like this because I feel like it and don’t want to be stuck in a box 😀

    I mean if you drink it everyday… It should be o I mean if you drink it everyday…

It should be organic, mold-free, tested for mycotoxins and taste delicious, etc. King coffee goes a step further with a therapeutic dose of reishi spores, the most powerful and potent part of reishi mushroom! Most other companies use the lucidum part of reishi, in case you’re wondering 👑

Want more info? DM me “king” and I’ll send you the deets 🤍🤍🤍

    passes & smashes for gut healing ❤️‍🩹 I passes & smashes for gut healing ❤️‍🩹

I have many more passes too.. extreme diets, too many supplements, gluten, juice cleanses, eating too fast and not chewing enough.. the list goes on!

Gut healing takes a multi-faceted approach and it’s never just one supplement to heal or one thing to do.

It takes time, patience and grace! And working alongside a practitioner you feel called to 🙏🏼
