👏🏻
Hi- I haven’t posted daily updates because it felt important to allow myself enough time to draw material insights from the subtle shifts in consciousness I’ve experienced over the past few days of microdosing 🍄🍄🟫
So, without further ado, here are my day 3-6 insights:
- the largest shifts remain the same as days 1&2: increased mental clarity, elevated mood, experiencing deeper connection to and presence within my environment, yet more detached from passing thoughts and emotions
- I’m experiencing a subtly stronger connection to subconscious / God / spirituality, find myself focusing on it more & praying with ease, God feels like a more material part of my daily life — which I love. Im highly spiritual by nature & have felt a connection with a higher power since a young age. Lost it a bit due to mental health stuff yada yada but feels gratifying to feel like its natural to lean in
- I feel more in control of how I respond to irritants and stressors. I feel an increased ability to maintain agency over my responses to my external environment
- _significantly_ decreased PMDD symptoms leading up to my period which I’m so thankful for 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 those who live with pmdd will seriously benefit from this and it gives me hope. I will likely start microdosing during my luteal phase every month and tracking my symptoms. This part of my cycle is when I experience the greatest difficulty in maintaining healthy relationships with my mind & body bc of hormonal shifts that lead to extreme anxiety and depression. I feel like I’m cracking a code for integrated health intervention for pmdd and I’m pumped about it
⭐️overall I feel more authentically myself with just a subtle .1 mg of psilocybin in my system for the past 6 days. I feel more connected to my purpose, my environment, and the low time preference values I hope to lead my life with
Looking forward to continuing the experience - I’m considering altering the dosage slightly after this 10 day round ends this weekend so will post about that if so
Day 1 of microdose regimen starts tomorrow. Gonna use primal as my personal diary as I go. Stay tuned 🕺🏻❤️
Top 5 Coachella sets I saw this weekend in my opinion as someone who went in with 0 expectations,
1. Tyler the Creator
2. J Balvin
3. Gesaffelstein
4. Everything Always
5. Grimes bc the meltdown was iconic
Re last post, she was a well-intentioned doctor and I wasn’t upset that her thoughts patterns automatically led her to prescribing more medication without listening to me - it’s all she knows. However, I made it clear that I was literally THERE to decrease my medication. Doctors need to develop critical thinking and empathy skills when working with patients. Our health is the most important thing we have and we must be able to trust those who are responsible for it. It was just another example of feeling unheard, unseen, and like a # to the system. 🍅 🍅 🍅
Re last post - the fact that we’re in a place to offer psilocybin as medicine makes me so proud of all the pioneers in the psychiatry space. They knew the power of psychedelic assisted therapy and didn’t give up when the FDA shut down their work in the 70’s because they were scared of people being free minded.
From 1970-present doctors have been following every procedural step, by the books, so no one (aka the gov) can stop them in getting this medicine into the hands of our people.
The intersection between sound money and sound health must be adequately addressed for humans to continue to evolve.
There’s a mental health epidemic rooted in distrust, isolation, and moral corruption.
It’s more imperative than ever before that we return to the basics and remember how humans have thrived evolutionarily. We need courageous people to step up and help us remember who we are. We’re here to connect, create, and support each other in creating a more promising future for the future of our species.
That’s why #nostr is so exciting to me. That’s why #bitcoin is so exciting to me. That’s why #breathwork is so exciting to me.
The most complex questions often require the simplest of solutions. The answer is each other.
Fix the money, fix our health.

As a society, we tend to over complicate everything.
The most complex issues often require the simplest solutions.
Breathwork teaches us where to find them - within ourselves.
The breath is the only physiological action of the mind-body that is both voluntary and involuntary. If we are not consciously aware of our breath, we are at critical risk of falling into a chronic sympathetic nervous system response, more commonly known as the dreaded “fight or flight” response. Although it really isn’t all that dreadful if you know how to work with it.
Gaining awareness of the breath allows us to create new internal experiences that positively correlate to abundance in the areas of our lives that are most meaningful to us.
There isn’t an area of life that can’t be elevated through focusing on how we breathe.
The way appears as you start to walk
