Microdosing 101: What is Microdosing and How Does it Work?

Uncle Marv kicks off by acknowledging his lack of knowledge about microdosing but openness to learn. Julie explains microdosing means taking tiny amounts of substances like psilocybin, cannabis or LSD - enough to provide benefits without cognitive impairment or losing control. She shares how she initially tried microdosing psilocybin out of curiosity from a trusted friend who was investing in a microdosing company. After researching and combining it with her coaching skills, Julie started offering microdosing mentorship when she saw interest from sharing her experience online. Julie differentiates microdosing from a full psychedelic dose, which causes cognitive distortion and an inability to operate machinery safely. With microdosing, you remain grounded in reality while experiencing reduced mental burdens like anxiety, depression and PTSD. Key Takeaways: Microdosing involves taking tiny, sub-perceptual amounts of psychedelics for benefits without impairmentIt can help with mental health issues like anxiety, depression, PTSD and addictionCombining microdosing with coaching/therapy can provide additional benefitsStart slow and have an intention/goal for your microdosing practiceLinks from the Show:Julie's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/juliecyvonne/Julie's Website: https://www.juliecyvonne.com/ === About the Unhealthy PodcastHosted by Marvin Bee (Uncle Marv), the Unhealthy Podcast dives into real conversations about health, wellness, and everyday habits that impact how we live, work, and age.
