The Microdosing Coach

“You have the option to engage in microdosing with nearly all (classic) psychedelics. This includes microdosing truffles, microdosing mushrooms, microdosing ayahuasca, microdosing LSD, and microdosing with cacti. In each case, microdosing involves a low dose of specific substances, such as psilocybin (found in truffles and mushrooms), caapi (in ayahuasca), Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), or mescaline (present in hallucinogenic cacti like San Pedro or Peyote). Notably, truffles, 1P-LSD, and caapi are legally available options depending on your country. 

Given its very low doses, microdosing is accessible to nearly everyone. Unlike a full dose, and when used responsibly, concerns about psychosis, a bad trip, or experiences involving loss of control are minimized.

However, there are specific cases where microdosing is discouraged:

• Individuals with schizophrenia, a susceptibility to psychosis, paranoia/suspicion, or severe anxiety disorders;
• Individuals under the age of 18;
• Pregnant women or those who are breastfeeding.

Microdosing and coaching form an ideal combination. Psychedelics provide profound insights, but it’s often challenging to translate those revelations into practical actions for daily life. You might struggle to fully comprehend or apply the insights gained. Through my coaching, I serve as a mirror, offering clarity and aiding in the integration of these lessons into your life. I encourage you to extract the utmost value from your experiences. I’m here as your support, mirror, and coach. Additionally, if you’re unfamiliar with how to navigate the fascinating world of psychedelics, I can guide you on your journey, ensuring you can fully embrace the positive effects.

That depends on several factors; including your personal preferences, your wishes, your complaints, and ailments. During the coaching, this will be addressed and I will advise you on this.

Due to the minimal amounts of hallucinogens involved, microdosing is often compatible with medications and supplements. The most popular psychoactive substances for microdosing include psilocybin from truffles or mushrooms, LSD, and 1P-LSD. There is a list of medications and supplements that show no negative interactions, and you can verify whether your specific medication or supplement is included.

For psychedelics containing MAO inhibitors, such as ayahuasca, extra caution is necessary, particularly when combined with other medications. In larger quantities, these substances must not be mixed with certain medications (such as other MAO inhibitors and SSRIs), certain foods (e.g., fermented foods, specific cheeses, red meat, and alcohol), and supplements.

Despite the low doses, psychedelics are still potent, so caution is advised. Limited information is available regarding long-term use, making it advisable not to exceed a microdosing regimen for more than 10 weeks. Afterward, take a substantial break of approximately 3 or 4 months (or longer) and consider microdosing as a temporary tool. If in doubt, consult your doctor.

In microdosing, discovering the right dosage is crucial for experiencing the positive effects optimally. This is highly individual and referred to as the ‘sweet spot.’ It’s a delicate balance, and exceeding it may lead to challenges during microdosing.  If you need assistance with this, I also offer support calls. However, this topic is extensively covered when you engage in coaching with me.

Overall, the classic psychedelics, like magic mushrooms or truffles, LSD, and DMT, are among the safest drugs. Even safer than alcohol, weed, and tobacco.

These substances are not addictive in the traditional sense of the word. You cannot become physically dependent on them. But as with everything, it’s wise not to go overboard. Psychedelics can make you feel really good. Something we all want. Therefore, see it as a powerful, but temporary tool.

People with bipolar disorder may benefit from microdosing during the depressive phase, but better not microdose during a manic phase as the mania can be intensified.

In people with anxieties, microdosing can intensify the anxieties. And in people with paranoia symptoms, the paranoia and suspicion can increase.

A number of psychedelics are legal including magic truffles, the caapi from ayahuasca, and 1P-LSD. A number are not legal, such as LSD and DMT and mescaline from cacti like San Pedro. You can legally buy a grow kit for magic mushrooms online. But as soon as they grow, they become illegal. In small amounts, the use of psychedelics for personal use is tolerated. The Microdosing Coach only works with legal substances.

No. Together we look at which psychedelic is suitable for you. The Microdosing Coach has a lot of (legal) substances in-house making it quick and easy for you to start. The Microdosing Coach only works with legal means. See also the webshop.

In some professions, I advise against microdosing, for example, if you are a pilot or a professional athlete. In these professions, drug tests are regularly carried out.

If you do not belong to these professional groups and you want to microdose during work, it is important to find your own sweet spot. Once you have found it, then the substances actually increase your mental alertness, focus, and responsiveness. It is advisable to be guided so that you can microdose safely and prepared during work.

It also depends on the work you do and what your employment contract says. Doubtful? Contact me.

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, microdosing is discouraged. The research is not yet so far that we know what it does to your (unborn) baby.

That depends on the substance. With most, you follow rest days. To prevent habituation, you leave 1 or 2 days in between. The most suitable protocol for you will be discussed during the coaching.

In general, psychedelics have little to no side effects. Sometimes sensitive people experience mild nausea or stomach discomfort when taking psilocybin. Sometimes people get tired from microdosing or they get headaches: after all, you are intensely engaged in your personal development. That takes energy!

Does microdosing really work? That’s a question I often get. There is currently still a lot of research being done on microdosing, but current findings suggest that the effects of microdosing go beyond just placebo. Studies point to changes in neurological processes and neurotransmitters that may be related to mood, cognition, and creativity. Although more research is needed for a full understanding, it appears that microdosing can indeed have real physiological and psychological effects, in addition to any placebo effects. Check out the reviews on my website or social media for microdosing experiences of others who have gone before you.

In principle, you can continue to eat and drink everything. However, eating healthily is best. And alcohol and coffee can influence microdosing. Preferably do not drink alcohol during a microdosing course. And caffeine is less of a problem. Read the blog about caffeine. Maybe it’s obvious, but we’ll mention it here anyway: no other drugs during this phase. If you still want to take a full dose of a plant medicine, you need to stop the microdosing at least 3 days beforehand and after the full dose, it is only useful to restart microdosing 2 weeks later. But less is more! Be mindful of the use of these sacred means.
