Functional fungi pioneer Julian Mitchell shares wild stories of mushroom alchemy, sacred ingredient sourcing, and why purity, process, and plants matter more than ever.

Since Lifecykel’s inception 10 years ago, Julian’s vision remains the same: help people optimize human health and performance by harnessing the power of mushrooms and nature’s most powerful active compounds.
With an extensive background in physiotherapy and deep understanding of functional medicine, Julian champions a science-backed approach to human performance and wellbeing. Under his leadership, Lifecykel’s team of in-house scientists set out to create the most bioavailable, potent, and pure full-spectrum liquid mushroom extracts on the market.

In this rich and wide-ranging conversation, I sit down with Julian Mitchell—co-founder of Lifecykel and one of the world’s leading voices in the functional mushroom movement. We go deep on sacred sourcing, advanced bioavailability, and the rise of fungi-based wellness.
Julian shares stories from his journey into the Altai Mountains of Mongolia to ethically source pure shilajit, revealing why trust, integrity, and regenerative supply chains must anchor supplement innovation. We get into the science and spirit behind ingredients like lion’s mane, cordyceps, and Kakadu plum, and break down Julian’s mission to reconnect humanity with the healing power of nature’s pharmacy.
You’ll also learn about Lifecykel’s next-gen liposomal delivery systems, how shilajit supercharges psychedelics, and what it really takes to bring a transparent wellness product to market in a world full of greenwashing.
