Metabolic syndrome is by no doubt difficult to address effectively, as it requires a comprehensive and individualized approach because of its complexity, including underlying causes. Therefore, metabolic syndrome is very suitable for multi-approach or holistic therapies, but even then it constitutes a challenge, because embarking on a journey of improvement means first straightening the slanted surface of the external and internal conditions.

Obviously, no long-lasting effect in metabolic syndrome can be achieved and maintained without involving with diet. Based on personal preferences, people are usually nurtured through one or two kingdoms as delineated by biologists: kingdom of Animalia and Plantae. Each kingdom provides huge variety of nutrients, on the other hand this variety has also its limits directly imposed by the kingdom itself. But there is yet another kingdom – kingdom of fungi which is ready to provide our nutrition with yet another unique set of resources: enzymes.

Mushroom nutrition, especially in form of valued mycelium and primordia (young buds of fruiting bodies), is able to provide us with the kingdom of fungi specific content of bioactive and bioavailable enzymes, which are normally used by the mycelium to decompose the substrate on which the mushroom is living. This is well-known, but also neglected added value of yeasts and mushrooms in human nutrition.

There are few mushrooms with interesting potential in metabolic syndrome. In our lecture we will present a way how to distinguish and choose between Agaricus blazei, Grifola frondosa (maitake), Ganoderma lucidum (reishi-lingzhi) and Pleurotus ostreatus, based on occurrence of metabolic syndrome risk factors (including obesity, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, abnormal lipid profiles, and to some limited extent also insulin resistance), constitutional predispositions and lifestyle. While not neglecting the symptom and disease classification by modern medicine, added value of multi-approach and holistic assessment through Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is going to be presented as how to find a trilateral match between an individual person, prominent symptoms and the individual mushroom.

From TCM point of view, mushrooms – contrary to both plants and animals – have “thin Qi” and “mild taste”, so they are suitable not only for regulation,  but also for overnight use (dosed before bedtime), which is very important and long dosage window, that is but commonly available for herbal, acupuncture or other  therapeutic interventions. Case studies demonstrating benefits of combining acupuncture with mushroom nutrition are going to be included in the lecture.
