About Us

The story of the Hippies didn't start as joyful as it may seem. As many things in life it began with something unexpected, something that changed my world completely. Happy Hippies was the surge of life after the death of my best friend: my grandma or Mom Mom as I knew her. I watched as she rapidly slid down the terrible façade of Alzheimer's unaware of what was happening to her. Sadly, with little to no drug research funded nor active drugs approved, she passed away far too early. This got me thinking, knowing that it runs in the women of my family, this meant my mom was only ticking closer to the same struggle. After researching the benefits of a healthy lifestyle I eventually came across mushrooms and began learning how they work and how they have been heavily used in Asian culture for their medicinal properties. This led me to devote an extensive amount of time researching the multiple Japanese studies for lions mane and other mushrooms and how they are used to combat Alzheimer's and a vast number of other diseases. These studies show the neural strengthening properties as well as the ability to kill the  toxic plaque build-up that causes Alzheimer's. All this ignited a will to challenge the ever growing problem of Big Pharma's expensive and dependent system while also helping to take on the stigma that years of terrible drug policy has led to. The key to our problems has been at our feet the whole time. This is where Happy Hippies comes in. Our goal is to bring affordable natural products to our customers while also bringing down the years of stigmas. With all of you in the Hippie family we can help make a happier, healthier world!
