Summary

After three COVID infections, they reported that each bout took a big chip out of their cognitive capacity, leaving them struggling to remember family members' names, their phone number and what they had done the previous day. A lion's mane mushroom supplement gave a big improvement within half an hour, but the benefit stopped when they did not take it.
