Ty is a practitioner and herbalist with years of study in Chinese medicine, Ayurveda, and herbal traditions. He spent years formulating daily blends for himself and his clients before one formula -- raw honey infused with 24 organic adaptogens and mushrooms -- rose above the rest.

That formula became Myconector, and then Alvara.

Jamison is a professional athlete and 11-year Marine veteran who encountered Myconector and immediately saw its potential for military families carrying chronic stress loads most people can't imagine. Together with a third partner and brand strategist, they launched Alvara just five months before this episode was recorded, with two missions woven into every product sold: Reboot the Troops, which ensures a military member receives product for every civilian purchase, and Stewards of the Hive, an education and advocacy initiative for bee conservation.

In this episode, recorded live at the Boston BioLive Functional Longevity Summit, Ty and Jamison sit down with host Shawn Quintero to share the story behind the product, the results they've seen, and the bigger vision for what Alvara is building.
