Whether you're curious about the practice or looking to optimize your existing regimen, this episode promises to be a comprehensive guide.

In this episode, you will learn about the neurobiological mechanisms at play, including the impact on neuroplasticity and the amygdala, which can help shift the brain from a fear-based state to one of creative potential. We discuss personal experiences, best practices, and how microdosing can be likened to common supplements like creatine and vitamin D, providing physiological benefits without the need for high doses.
