Presenter: Jonathan Fredette
From an early age, I was searching for ways to heal myself and face the hardships in my own health that arose from living in our modern culture. I became fascinated with biology and the natural sciences and ultimately found a way forward through natural medicine. While studying health sciences in the Pacific Northwest and working as an assistant in a pathology lab, I simultaneously dove headlong into the field of Mycology, studying and cultivating mushrooms that I used to help myself and those around me. In 2019 I founded Evolved Mushrooms as a way to support my community with holistic wellness and education specifically within the field of mycology, but have since expanded into herbal medicine. We've hosted large scale community events, local cultivation workshops and have developed unique herbal mushroom formulas for our clients that offer truly unique support. For over 6 years we have helped people overcome hardships within their health, and have focused intently on supporting our clients' mental wellness. We are intent on exploring unique extraction sciences to develop high quality and bioavailable products and work alongside a few wholesale leaders in connecting other businesses with resources. My mission is to broaden the impact and awareness of natural medicine within the communities we're connected with and support the movement of returning to natural wellbeing and balance alongside the lessons we can learn from Nature."
