Meghan Markle has made a surprising revelation about her pregnancy.
In the latest episode of her podcast, Confessions Of a Female Founder, Meghan, wife of Prince Harry, opened up about her pregnancies with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
During her conversation with the guest Hannah Mendoza, founder of Clevr Blends, the Duchess of Sussex revealed turning to ancient Indian medicine during the pregnancies, saying, “during my pregnancies, I had an Ayurvedic doctor and so much of it was about seeing food as medicine.”
“I think a lot of people, when they hear mushrooms, they go 'OK, she’s talking about being hippie-dippy, grounded in all these things'. If you aren’t familiar with adaptogens, you can go to this place of 'Oh, it’s feeling a little psychedelic and super woo-woo',” Meghan shared.
“So there are these items and ingredients that have been part of our natural ecosystem and dietary system for a long time, whether acknowledged or not, that somehow you say mushrooms, and now people have a connotation attached to it.”
“But it’s really just a food trend that I believe you were far ahead of in terms of saying, ‘Hold on, these have properties that can in some way make you feel differently in a really safe way’.”
It is worth mentioning that Prince Harry also shared in his memoir Spare about taking magic mushrooms in California.
