233. Can Mushrooms Help Senior Dogs Think Better? CCD Study Results w/ CBD Dog
Do mushrooms help “doggy dementia”? In this episode, I sit down with Carter from CBD Dog to unpack their senior dog study on Canine Cognitive Dysfunction (CCD)—what they tested, what changed, and how you can use it. We cover the mushroom blend (think Lion’s Mane + supportive allies), study design and real outcomes (orientation, sleep, anxiety, engagement), how to dose and stack with food, and simple lifestyle tweaks that make the brain gains stick. Clear guardrails, practical takeaways, no fluff—just what works for aging dogs who deserve a sharper, happier life.
