#sponsoredevent Functional mushrooms 🍄‍🟫 have been used across cultures for ages, and have been exploding into today’s market. As an RD, I get lots of questions about mushroom supplements and coffees, but I wanted to see the science for myself, so I joined the @m2ingredients team last summer to learn from leading mycology experts Dr. Sandra Carter, Steve Farrar, and Dr. Julie Daoust.

This summer I joined brilliant minds @tobyamidor @jamie_c_sullivan @patriciabannan @minddietmeals to officially kick off M2’s Shroom School and welcome the Class of ’26. I was honored to open the day with a mindful movement and meditation before we dove into research, production, and culinary applications. It was an immersive, curious, and magical (but not that kind of magical lol) experience. As a dietitian, nothing excites me more than learning new research and connecting with colleagues. I’m really impressed with M2 for truly understanding RDs and nurturing a real partnership to help translate nutrition science for everyday consumers.

A few fun facts from ‘Shroom School:
- Fungi are incredibly diverse: ~1.5 million fungal species vs. ~250k plant species.
- Evidence of medicinal mushroom use goes back thousands of years, findings as early as ~5,300 years old in Italy.
- Mushrooms contain bioactive beta glucans (one of several prebiotics in mushrooms) that modulate immune function AND are effective at clearing microplastics from the body.

Stay tuned for more on functional mushrooms. Curious about a specific mushrooms or use? Drop a question below. 🍄✨

As a registered dietitian, I’m always making sure to become educated on topics consumers are asking about. Functional mushrooms have taken the market by storm and access to reputable information was just not there….until now!

In 2024, I attended Expo West and was blown away by functional mycology researcher @julie_daoust_ — a 30 minute meeting wasn’t enough time to fully understand the science— so I asked the M2 team if I could learn more. They invited me out to their headquarters in San Diego, but I asked if I could bring friends…and they graciously allowed me to invite 6 RDs who also wanted to help clients and consumers by learning more. @danawhitenutrition @minddietmeals @alovelettertofood @kerigans @the_yogini_rd @patriciabannan

One year later, I helped gather 20 more RDs among a variety of dietetic disciplines who were also interested in filling their education gap on this very popular topic..

AND M2 SHROOM SCHOOL WAS BORN!

With over 1.5 million species of mushrooms — compared that to 250K plant species — the research is just starting to scratch the surface.

I can’t thank @m2ingredients enough for their upmost appreciation and respect for the registered dietetic profession and what RDs do. To bring so many people to their facility based on the words of me (and the amazing @patriciabannan) is amazing and I am thankful more than words can relay.

All I can say is…there’s more to come…so stay tuned!

We are hosting our third annual @thepathpod restorative retreat at the amazing @campovida

It feels like a dream! I attended an incredible retreat there in 2025 and absolutely was convinced that we needed to do one of our retreats there “someday”.

Someday is here. In fact- it will be November 13-15, 2026!

The tradition continues.

Would you like to know a little bit more about our retreats?

Here goes:

• A two-night stay
• Culinary experiences and shared meals
• Outdoor activities including vineyard walks, yoga, swimming, and moon bathing
• Meditation and grounded breathwork
• Intentional self-care workshop
• Connection and community-building experiences

Welcome to the kickoff of Mental Health Awareness Month on PATH! This May, we are dedicated to reducing the stigma surrounding behavioral health and exploring the “delicate interplay” between our hearts, souls, and bodies.

In this episode, Jenny and Toni travel to the Denver area (via Kansas City) to sit down with a “joyous human” and “formidable buffalo” of a man: Steve Bloom. After 30 years in the high-stakes world of corporate leadership and private equity, Steve didn’t just retire—he pivoted. At age 60, he returned to school to become a mental health therapist, driven by a mission to address the silent epidemic of loneliness and isolation among men.

What We Discuss:
The “Second Act”: The humility and tenacity required to go from Chief People Officer to a 60-year-old grad student.
The Crisis of Connection: Why modern men are struggling with a “contradictory script” and how social isolation fuels depression.
Tackling the “Darker” Topics: Steve opens up about his work with sexual addiction and the societal impact of pornography and AI.
Finding Hope: Why Steve believes we aren’t as divided as the media suggests and how small acts of “human kindness” can save lives.
The “Buffalo” Mindset: Walking into the eye of the storm with courage and clarity.
Key Takeaways & Resources:

Start Small: Connection doesn’t require an overhaul. A smile, a nod, or noticing the “lady on the scooter” at the park makes a difference.
The Power of “Saying Something”: If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, or addiction, have the courage to raise your hand.
Reach Out to Steve: Steve is open to connecting with listeners. You can reach him at S.C.Bloom@outlook.com. Or connect with him through the counseling firm he works with on Instagram @therapridecouseling.

Our Road Trip Mixtape:
Inspired by Steve’s “80s Classic Rock” vibes and our deep dive into nostalgia, this episode’s playlist is our longest yet!

2️⃣ Quick stop in Ohio to present to @eatrightohio #OAND26

3️⃣ On to Florida to speak at @eatrightfl #FANS26 alongside colleagues like @thepathpod and even got to do some yoga thanks to @nutritionbychelsea

4️⃣ Then on to @pennstate - the place that started it all for my professional career to speak at @eatrightpa and see a few of my favorite people AND even finally getting to meet my amazing former intern @paigemkr IRL #PAND26

5️⃣ Another quick trip virtually back to CA to present at @eatrightcafdn #CANDAC26

6️⃣ Enjoying some much-needed family time in Happy Valley with @tockstar showing @adventuresofshivathediva where mommy went to college

Now time for a well-earned week at home before wrapping up some final speaking engagements next week.

Thank you so much to everyone who came out to hear me speak this month 🙏🏻 It’s one of my absolute favorite things to do and nothing lights me up more than getting to educate so many of you about topics important to me like self-care and getting more dietitians comfortable in the communication space 🎤🗣️

If I missed getting to speak to your organization this go-around, reach out about how I can bring high energy & humor to your next conference, meeting or group event.

This episode is a celebration of curiosity, evidence, and delicious food.
We partnered with U.S. Soy to explore the humble soybean with our guest, dietitian @chelsealeblancrdn, whose warmth and practical wisdom shine through every minute.
We talk protein, heart health, seed oil panic, breast cancer myths, brain health, and the soy foods that changed our minds.
It’s joyful, mythbusting, and packed with reallife ways to bring soy into your routine.
If you’ve ever wondered, worried, or been confused about soy… this one’s for you.
