Dr. David M. Madow
My name is Dr. David Madow and I am the founder of MICRODOSE U. Magic mushrooms have literally turned my entire life around. It was not that long ago when I was hanging on the sofa in my house wondering if I was going to make it. Almost every day was filled with fatigue, anxiety, depression, and practically zero motivation to plan or do anything. I cannot begin to explain how horrible this feeling was. After trying all different kinds of medication, psychotherapy, meditation, yoga, and so much more, I found the answer. Magic mushrooms. And let me tell you, they are absolutely magic! Through my podcast I share my story from the start! I share with you how to free yourself from the horrible web of depression, anxiety, PTSD and most other mental health issues. Everything that is shared here is for informational purposes only. I am sharing my story. Nothing is to be taken as medical advice. Check with your doctor before using psychedelics. Be aware of all laws and abide by them.

Here is the transcript to today's episode:
Speaker 1: (00:00)
I just don't feel right or I'm really hurting. Every day is just very, very tough for me. Hey guys, I'm Dr. Dave. And you cannot imagine how many times per day, yes, per day. I get either emails or comments on my videos from those of you that are saying something just doesn't feel right. Either you've got some form of depression or anxiety or maybe an addiction, uh, eating disorder. Um, it could be, it could be a ptsd, it could be, it could be one of so many things, or more than one of so many things. Um, first of all, I wanna tell you that I feel for you, I really do, because I've been through a lot of this, not all, but a lot, a lot of, uh, anxiety and depression and what I call ptsd, at least from myself, a PTSD not from war, but from a, um, a really, really difficult marriage.
Speaker 1: (01:03)
Um, I, I've got trauma from that. There's, there's no question about it. So I have started helping people try to find a way out of this. And, um, by the way, I'm in Nine Mile Canyon right now, um, in beautiful, my home state of Utah. Um, while I'm doing this, while I'm sharing this with you, I might show you some, um, night canyon's a pretty cool place because it's, it's, there's hiking and driving involved and, um, you can see some wonderful petroglyphs, um, art from Native Americans and whatnot, and just rock art, and it's just, um, it's really, really, really amazing. As I'm talking, I'll probably show you a little bit along the you, but what I've thought about a lot lately is, you know, so I'm a retired dentist, and when somebody would come to me for dental treatment, a cavity, a broken tooth, uh, they need infection, they need a root canal, they need a tooth extracted.
Speaker 1: (02:18)
I would perform the procedure and we would take care of the problem, and that would be, it. Sounds easy, right? Well, think about this. When you go to a therapist, psychologist, psychiatrist, social worker, whatever it might be, um, they don't really correct me if I'm wrong, but they don't really cure you. They might give you medication that you have to take every day for the rest of your life. That's not really a cure. That's like, as far as I'm concerned, that's masking the problem. Uh, they might say you need talk therapy once a week or twice a week, uh, basically forever, because it doesn't cure you. It, you can talk your way. Uh, not you can't talk your way out of things, but you can certainly talk about what's happened, but that's not gonna cure you. So that's why I, I was really, really frustrated with all these, uh, possible solutions that really don't work.
Speaker 1: (03:16)
And I remember I was feeling horrible, like, um, like a lot of you that are watching or or listening, um, they say at least one out of four people in the United States and probably all over the world, but at least one out of four. Um, I think more, much more suffering from, you know, some type of, some type of mental issue. Again, depression, anxiety and addiction, um, anorexia, whatever it might be. Um, and up until now we nobody ever thought there was a cure or, or kind of like one, one treatment fits all. You know, depending on what you had, you had to go through different types of treatments and it, and again, never cured, never cured anything. You always have it, which I think sucks until I discovered magic mushrooms and many,

Here is the transcript to today's episode:
Speaker 1: (00:00)
I'm guessing it took about 15 or 20 minutes. Um, but once it happened, it was unbelievable. I'm gonna share with you right now.
Speaker 1: (00:28)
Hey there, how are you? Dr. Dave, welcome back to Microdose U I really appreciate you and I have an incredible story for you today. So, I've talked to you in the past about, um, going to a, um, a float spa, a sensory deprivation, um, soak in a, in a, um, in a body of water that you just float in complete darkness. And I went the other day and my experience there was unlike any other that I've ever had. And I want to explain this to you. I wanna describe the whole thing to you right now. So, um, you know, a short time ago, I, I, I, I showed you, I, I, I explained to you exactly what a, a sensory deprivation float tank is. Um, and I went there yesterday and, um, before going about two hours in advance, I consumed, what was it? So it was not very much, but it was, let's say, um, I took a bite of a piece of chocolate.
Speaker 1: (01:27)
So it was probably about 0.3, 0.4 grams of, um, magic mushrooms in that piece of chocolate, roughly 0.3, 0.4. Um, and then on top of that, I had, um, about, what was it? It was about, um, 15, 18 milligrams of cannabis. Um, seems to me from my past experience is like a, just a, like a perfect combination. So, um, went into the float spa, the float tank, and this time I did it a little bit differently. So in the past, what I've done is I've, um, kept some starlight on the ceiling, which has a really cool effect. It just looks like you're in space, cuz the stars are kind of shining down on you. And I also have listened to music in the past, but this time, and, um, I give credit to somebody that's, that was listening. Um, they called me out on this a short time ago.
Speaker 1: (02:19)
I told them that I listened to music and I, I have stars on the ceiling. They say, well, that's not actually, that's not actually complete sensory deprivation because you're, you're using two of your senses right there, uh, hearing and vision. And so I said, you know something, you are right. Next time I go, I'm gonna turn everything off. It's gonna be, I'm gonna float in complete darkness, complete darkness. There's not one iota of light anywhere. And I did this. And, um, the result was pretty darn incredible. So, if I could describe this, um, I'm floating and, and I didn't, of course, I'm not looking at a clock. I don't have my watch on, and the time is totally just meaningless when you're floating in a, in a float tank. But, um, if I could just guess, I would say the first 10 minutes or so I'm floating.
Speaker 1: (03:07)
It's very blissful. It's very nice. It's comfortable, but, but nothing's really happening yet. But it's, it's, it's still great. But then I think probably after about 10, or, and this is a one hour float by the way. Uh, they time it, you don't have to worry about the time, um, when it's over the, the light comes on and then your session is over. Um, but I would say roughly at about the 10 to 15 minute point, I started going back in time and I was reliving kind of like a lot of scenes and a lot of things from my childhood. Now, let me go back for a second, because, um, since I've experienced this, um, uh, depression and anxiety and, and all the other things that have come along with it that kind of really messed with my life over ...

Here is the transcript to today's episode:
Speaker 1: (00:01)
I'm just gonna start talking. So, um, about oh five, six hours ago I took, um, 0.25 grams of, um, magic mushrooms 0.25. So that's, uh, 250 milligrams and it didn't go exactly the way I wanted it to. By the way, welcome to Microdose U Dr. Dave. Um, it, I've been talking about microdosing on this channel for quite some time. I'm not sure how long, but I've been microdosing for about a year and a half. My experience has been really, really good. Basically, microdosing has, um, allowed me to totally get off antidepressants, um, blood pressure meds, um, benzo Daze, any, pretty much anything I was taking. Um, I'm off of. I don't, I don't take any, I don't take any medication, any pharma, pharmacological, pharmaceutical. I don't take anything. Um, and I've been talking to you all about microdosing for quite some time, but the experience I had this evening was not one that I really would wish on you or want you to have. And I feel, I feel kind of guilty too, because one of the last episodes I was sharing this, um, stack that I kind of invented. I don't, I probably didn't invent it, but, but when I went ahead and took some, um, C B D, which is, you know, sold over the counter, um, and some, um,
Speaker 1: (01:56)
Lion's, main mushroom, which is also sold over the counter on Amazon, wherever you want it, along with a microdose of magic mushrooms and microdose was 250 milligrams, which is 0.25 grams. I, I told you last time that this, the combination of the 0.25 grams, which is not really, you're not really supposed to feel it with the CBD D and the Lions main just kind of sent me somewhere and it was actually quite pleasant, really pleasant. Um, I did it again last week and it was great. Again. It, it really worked. I mean, it, it's, it feels like, it feels like much more than any microdose with a microdose, if that makes sense. But tonight, um, I, I felt weird. I have to admit, I felt it was something that I didn't really embrace and was just looking forward to end. And I start having these weird feelings, like, here I am, am I a fraud? I'm helping people all over the world with microdosing, and here I put this episode out about this stack, and you can, you anybody can do it and it's gonna be great, but it didn't turn out great tonight. And I started having these weird feelings within myself also. Like, okay, when's this going to end? Uh, it's a little bit weird. When's it gonna end? And, and
Speaker 1: (03:34)
Not only that, but anybody that listened to the podcast or watch the video or however you get your information from me, um, if they try this, and I make it very clear that this, nothing I say here is, is medical advice. I make it very clear. But still that doesn't make me feel good that if somebody went ahead and took some magic mushrooms along with C b D, could this do the same thing to them? Could this send them into the, into space and, and not, not not super pleasant in, in, um, and I started feeling guilty. I started feeling that I shouldn't be doing this. I shouldn't have this channel. I'm a fraud. I'm telling people the wrong thing. I should just go away. But then I thought, no, that's not right. There's no guarantee that every single experience, even microdosing, there's no guarantee that every single experience is going to be incredibly positive. Um, this microdosing has allowed me to changed my whol...

Here is the transcript to today's episode:
Speaker 1: (00:00)
Anyway, Tennyson, thanks. Thanks so much for being with me here. This is, this is, I feel honored to have you here talking to you. How are you today?
Speaker 2: (00:09)
I'm doing really good. Thank you. And I so appreciate your invitation. I, uh, for the last six months or so have kind of been in hermit mode, so it feels really good to come out and be able to talk about everything, especially in relation to what I'm doing. Um, and I assume, you know, some of the subjects we'll get into today. So feeling good. I'm, I'm walking. It's sunny. Uh, couldn't be a better situation, really.
Speaker 1: (00:38)
So it, it was, it was really cool meeting you, like the way we did the other day, a couple weekends ago. It was super cool. And I remember you, um, your story is like, if I may say amazing, it was, uh, wait, you're, you're, you're at a park right now. Where are you?
Speaker 2: (00:55)
So, I'm at, I'm actually at the park across the street from Liberty.
Speaker 1: (01:00)
Oh,
Speaker 2: (01:01)
I, I realized I might get a little winded, if I tried to talk and walk at the same time. So
Speaker 1: (01:09)
Wait a minute. Wait, you're, you're at the park across the street from Liberty Park, kind of right? Where, yeah. Wait, where do you, where do you live exactly? Hold on.
Speaker 2: (01:18)
So here's 900 East, I think. Okay. Or eight eight East. Um, so I'm on like eight 50 east, just a block that way. Um, in between eighth and ninth course,
Speaker 1: (01:30)
Tenon, tenon, I'm, I'm right around the corner from you. We could have done this, we could have done this live. You could have come to my house. Oh my, I can't how close we are. I knew we live, I knew we both live in Salt Lake City, but we are literally like blocks away from each other as we speak right now. I could probably look out my window and wave to you
Speaker 2: (01:48)
. So, you know, you know Harrison Avenue then, right? That's, that's the street I'm on . Exactly. Oh my God.
Speaker 1: (01:55)
Okay. So when I was talking to you the other day, you, I came to, you had a little stand going and I was amazed cause I saw something about mushrooms and you, it seems like you own a mushroom company to say it, like probably the easiest, the simplest possible way, but, um mm-hmm. , I want to hear a little bit about that. And I want to hear about your story, cuz I know you've got, I know you've got a story that got you to where you are now, and I want, I want to hear about that.
Speaker 2: (02:23)
Okay. Yeah. So the company's name is actually, so magic Mou MOU is Chinese for mushroom. So, uh, there's a little bit of an attempt to incept into the mainstream, the idea of magic mushrooms. And of course that extends far beyond psilocybin, though I'm also, um, a huge proponent of psilocybin being something that is, uh, loved and respected and honored and not seem to be any different from anything else that people commonly use to enhance their wellbeing and ability to enjoy life. And so, of course, that's also a big piece of my story. Um, I, I would say almost 6, 5, 6 years ago now, I, um, was in the, the dark depths of depression. I had been diagnosed with severe depression and ptsd. Um, and it had really been something that kind of snuck under the surface as this undercurrent that I can very clearly see now painted most of my life...

Here is the transcript to today's episode:
Speaker 1: (00:00)
Hey there, it's Dr. Dave. I wanna share with you perhaps one of the coolest things that I've experienced, or that's happened to me since I began my microdose journey over 18 months ago. So, fasten your seat belts. This is gonna be a great one.
Speaker 1: (00:28)
Hey there. Welcome back, Dr. Dave Micro Dose. You. How are you? I really appreciate you. And, um, before I get going, I got a great, great special episode for you today. By the way, you're gonna really enjoy this and I think it's gonna shed some light on your journey and on your life for sure. But before we get into it, oh my God, the, the best gift you could possibly give, if you wanna give a gift to me, is . It doesn't cost you anything except maybe 30 seconds of your time. Go onto wherever you're listening to this podcast episode and give me a good, honest review. Uh, that's the best thing you could do. I really appreciate it. Many of you're listening on Apple Podcasts, uh, whatever it might be, Spotify, you know, iHeart, whatever, whatever it is, please just go in there, get me a review.
Speaker 1: (01:11)
Every single one helps. And I wanna thank so many of you that have already done this, but if you haven't done it, what are you waiting for? Go ahead, please do it now. Put it on pauses, put this on pauses right now, and go do it. Just so you don't forget, and we'll get right back into the episode. Okay. Thank you so much for leaving that review. I really appreciate that. So, um, a little bit of background is in order. Um, many of you know that I am a retired dentist, and I think probably a lot of my, oh, anxiety and life began around the time I was in dental school. Believe it or not, that's supposed to be like a great time of your life. You know, you got nothing but great things ahead and a great profession. But I think for some reason, I was not exactly sure about my profession and not, uh, or my, the profession I was about to enter into it.
Speaker 1: (01:59)
And dental school was very difficult. And so with all these things combined, not being sure the difficulty of studying and, and getting through requirements, it caused a a lot of anxiety. It kind of set the stage, I think, for anxiety in my life. Um, once I got into dentistry, once I graduated from dental school, I started practicing dentistry. And, um, I just always felt it was not really exactly what I was meant to do in my life. I, I think I had a, a, a bigger purpose and, and dentistry was maybe a stepping stone to get to where I wanted to be, but I just didn't feel right about it. I just, I just never really loved it. So when I, as I was practicing, I was always trying to come up with ideas to, um, you know, maybe, uh, start another business or, or develop something that a side gig or a side hustle as we say now.
Speaker 1: (02:47)
But, um, I just, I just knew that dentistry was not gonna be in my, um, in, in my, uh, in my life for forever. I just, I just had a strong feeling. So I did ultimately figure out a few things, start another business, and I did this with my brother Rich, who's also a dentist. And we ended up becoming, um, kind of like dental KOLs, which stands for Key Opinion Leaders. We became pretty famous in dentistry, and, uh, that meant we published newsletters and audio series and, and, um, we did a lot of seminars and coaching and things like that.

Here is the transcript to today's episode:
Speaker 1: (00:00)
Hey, let me tell you about this magic mushroom stack that I did yesterday. It was actually unbelievable. First of all, I just wanna welcome you to microdose, you. I'm Dr. Dave. This is not medical advice. I just share things that are going on in my life with microdosing, psilocybin, and magic mushrooms and more. So yesterday I felt it was a good day for a micro dose, and I woke up in the morning and what I did, um, in addition to actually microdosing my 250 milligrams of psilocybin mushroom, so it's two 50 milligrams, as you know, is 0.25 gram. I also took a, uh, I took some CBD. Now you're gonna ask me, Well, how much did you take? And the answer is, I don't know. I just took a little squi from a bottle of, of CBD that I had, so I don't really know how much it was, but if I had to guess, I'd probably say it was in the neighborhood of 50, 60 milligrams.
Speaker 1: (00:57)
But it's just, that's a total guess. I don't know. I didn't measure it. I, I'm honest about it. I did not measure anything. And in addition to the CBD and the magic mushrooms, I also took, um, two little capsules of lion's, main mushrooms. Now those are, these are totally, um, non psychedelic. They're legal. You can get them on Amazon. They come, they generally come in capsule form. And I took two capsules, and I believe the capsules were each, uh, 250 milligrams. I somewhere right around 200, 2 50 milligrams. So, so about about 500 milligrams of lion's, main mushrooms. Didn't think much of it. Don't ask me why I did it like that, but I just, for some reason, I just did. Um, I've had success in the past with C B D potentiating mushrooms and vice versa. So I just felt like, I don't know, I was just in the mood to do that, and I just gave it a try.
Speaker 1: (01:49)
Um, about an hour later, I started feeling the effect of the mushrooms. Now, um, you know, you might say, Well, maybe it was the effect of the C B D. Maybe it was the effect of the lions made. Well, you could say that, but neither of those are, um, psychoactive at all. So you can ingest them and, and they're good for you. They do many things as far as, um, combat anxiety, uh, good for cognitive brain function, things like that. But, but they don't, they don't give you any kind of high or they're not psychoactive at all. The only thing I took that was psycho psychoactive was the magic mushrooms. So, as I was saying, about an hour later, I started like, really feeling this. Now, remember also, um, 0.25 gram is a microdose 250 milligrams, same thing. It's a microdose. You're not really supposed to feel a microdose.
Speaker 1: (02:42)
You're supposed to feel maybe, um, how can I explain this? Like, definitely not psychoactive, definitely not tripping, definitely not high, but, but maybe like a good feeling. But I felt much more than just a good feeling. This was, um, I mean, I can't say strong in, uh, as a, like a, um, like a psychedelic trip. It was nothing like that. I could totally function. I went out, my wife and I went to REI to exchange some stuff and buy some stuff, and, um, went to Target and did some shopping. So totally, totally function. But I like for hours, I'd say for a good part of the day, for most of the day, I had this like aura, um, how else can I phrase this? Um, like a glow, a feeling of, um, happiness. But more than just feeling happy,

Speaker 1: (00:00)
Hey there. Today I'm gonna share with you eight things that I felt every single day before I started Microdosing. So let's get into it right now.
Speaker 1: (00:24)
Hey there, how are you? Welcome, Dr. Dave here Microdose U, and I really appreciate you being here, and this is a special episode, and some people might be asking me, Well, what, what exactly is a special episode? You seem to be doing one of these like almost every week, and that's true. See, when I first started doing this audio podcast here, I just kind of, uh, used repurposed my, um, videos that I've got on my, on my Microdose u uh, Microdose U YouTube channel, and I just kind of turned them into an audio version, and they're generally around anywhere from five minutes to 10 minutes long. But you all want something more than that. I know you ask me for it, I want to give it to you. So these special episodes tend to be a little bit longer. They're more of a, uh, a longer length, and I go into more detail.
Speaker 1: (01:07)
So let's see how this goes. And the special episodes might actually turn out to be the regular episodes. And by the way, after the episode here, um, make sure you meet up with this over in my new Facebook group. It's a, it's a great place where we have a lot of interaction. You can ask questions. Um, I've got other people there that if I'm not, if I'm not, I try to be there as much as possible. But if I'm not there, um, you'll get great answers from some of my other experts and moderators. And it's just a wonderful place. It's a loving, caring place to be. So I'll drop the, um, link in the show notes in the description. Um, please join us there. And remember the greatest gift you can give me, I don't ask you for anything other than the greatest gift you can give me is a, a good honest review here.
Speaker 1: (01:49)
Uh, wherever you're listening to the podcast, just go on your platform and it really does help the show. So let's get right into it. Um, I'm Dr. Dave in case we haven't met formally before. But, um, I wanna share with you eight things that I felt pretty much every single day before I started my microdosing, which was, at this point is probably about a year end, eight months ago, like closing in on, you know, over a year and a half ago. And I've had tremendous success. But before the microdosing, I would wake up almost every single morning and feel just like this anxiety that's there now. I thought I slept fairly well, I mean, decent enough that why would, and you know, why would I wake up and have this anxiety when the day hadn't even started yet? I could never figure that out, but it was a, a weird feeling.
Speaker 1: (02:45)
My heart would be beating faster. I'd just be like on edge. And it's, it's very hard to describe other than I can tell you. It was an anxious feeling that I knew shouldn't have been there. And a lot of times this kind of just persisted into the, the day now when I started my, when I, when my docs started me on Lexapro, which is an antidepressant and anti-anxiety, and it's an SSRI selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor type of pharmaceutical. It absolutely did help the anxiety some, but not a hundred percent. And I had to supplement some days if I really started feeling very anxious with a benzo. And that wasn't good. I, that's like the last thing I felt like doing is being on benzo...

Here is the transcript to today's episode:
Speaker 1: (00:00)
Hey guys, how are you? Dr. Dave Microdose. You. Today's gonna be a little bit of a different episode because I'm doing a hike. Uh, we're, I'm hiking actually with my wife and a friend of ours, and we're in, uh, little Cottonwood Canyon in Utah. Um, this is where I live in Utah. I live, it's only takes me about, um, 30 minute drive to get into little, the top of little Cottonwood Canyon. And I just love it here. And what I wanted to share with you today is it's a special hike because I did about a 0.3 gram microdose when we first started, or just need look before we first started. So it made the hike really, how can I say this? And sorry, I'm out of breath. I mean, we're at 10,000 feet right now, roughly. Um, it made the hike really, really interesting and fun.
Speaker 1: (01:02)
And I'm the type of person my personality is such that after I hike for a little while, ah, you know, I get it. I just don't feel like going any further. I, I get it, it's fine. But today, like I didn't feel like that. Now, right now, if I speak wor on our way down from the summit where we hiked to, we, but I'm gonna show you some, share some pictures with you, actually some pictures of video of us hiking up as well. But as I'm recording this part of it, uh, we already turned around, so I'm actually not as out of breath as I was going up, but still, we're 10,000 feet. And so Salt Lake is at 4,200. So to come up here, it's another mile plus into the air. So even though I'm acclimated, totally acclimated at 4,200 feet where I live, you know, coming up to 10,000, you know, you definitely feel it.
Speaker 1: (01:58)
So you feel it. But I feel great and I, I, I'll tell you, I, I do, I do attribute a lot of this to, um, how microdosing has rewired my brain, changed my life. My wife actually a few minutes ago said, Dave, watch you be careful. You're on a cliff and you're, I know you're afraid of heights. And I looked at her and said, Hey, you know, not anymore. I'm not. I just, I don't have that fear. There are a lot of things that I used to fear that I just don't feel like I do anymore. It's, it's, it's, it's changed my life, guys. It really has. And I'm really happy to show you some of the beauty, Um, hiking here in Little Cottonwood Canyon. Um, here, let me turn this around. Here's first glimpse of my wife ever in video, I think, and our friend, Where's my wife?
Speaker 1: (02:53)
Where's they're back there somewhere. I think you can see them, maybe see them. Um, if you all want, let me know in the comments. If you all want, I'll let you, I'll do some more outdoor videos. Um, so I'll be like talking as, as I'm hiking or doing something, maybe paddle boarding or just to show you the beauty. And, and I've not lived here all my life. We just moved here a few years ago because I wanted a change in my life. It, um, the east Coast was not doing it for me anymore. Um, I lived there pretty much all my life. And, um, it's not, it's not the way we wanted to live. I'm not dissing the East Coast, or, I mean, I've got a ton of friends and family, and probably a lot of you that are watching live on the east coast of the US and I'm certainly not dissing it.
Speaker 1: (03:46)
It's, it's beautiful. But I lived there for many, many decades, , um, and we just said, Look, we wanna live amongst Beau. This is what I live amongst every day. Look at this, look at the, look at the panoramic is, this is, so we're basically, if you wanna know where we are, little Cottonwood Canyon.

243 – How to Incorporate Shadow Work With Magic Mushrooms
New to microdosing? Check out our resource page at https://davidmadow.com/your-microdosing-resource-page/
Here is the transcript to today's episode:
Hey there. Welcome back to Microdose You. I'm Dr. Dave. And today we're gonna talk about shadow work. How do incorporate shadow work in your microdosing of magic mushrooms? Um, I put out a little pole on my, on the YouTube channel, oh, a week or two ago, and, um, it seems like 75% of you, roughly three quarters, um, don't even know what shadow work is, and that's okay. I didn't know what it was either until I started actually using magic mushrooms and I kind of started getting into this whole world and of, uh, psychology and psychiatry and, and all kinds of things. And I finally realized how important shadow work is. See, when you're, um, microdosing, when you're using magic mushrooms to improve your life, change your brain. Um, it's not like it's an SSRI or, or a, um, uh, antidepressant. It's not just a pharmaceutical pill.
You just pop and everything's better. So along with using magic mushrooms, um, it's good to do other work on the side. And we've talked about journaling and meditation and yoga and spirituality and things like that. But shadow work is something, it, it's super, super important in my opinion. And basically what it is, well, I'll explain how, why It's even called shadow work. Um, you've been carrying around shadows no matter who you are, what you are, how your life has been, you've been carrying around, and sorry about it. I'm in a park and there's all kinds of, um, lawnmowers and backup tractors. If it gets too loud, we'll move, but hopefully you can bear with it. It's, hopefully it's not too bad. Um, so you've been carrying around. We all have been carrying around things from our entire life, um, good things and bad things. And the reason they're called shadows, or we call them shadows, is because they follow you wherever you are.
You can't get rid of them. You can't get rid of your past life. You can't get rid of. Let's just, just say for example, if you were, um, I abused as a child, say something like that. Um, you can try to forget it. You can try to take it outta your life, but it, but it's with you. It's in, it's in your dna basically. You can't get rid of it. So when we say do shadow work along with microdosing, we're talking about recognizing why we got to the point we are right now, why we feel the way we do, what, how it's influenced our life or our lives. And, um, then what do we do with it? Well, well, let's, let's talk about how we, how we bring it up. So I was sharing this with you on a previous video that I went into my psychiatrist office for a visit several months after I started microdosing.
And I said to him, I said, I have figured out a lot of the reasons why I feel the way I do today. Like I, I outlined some things that I shared with him. I said, Well, number one, number two, number three, these were things that occurred earlier in my life that absolutely had an impact. These particular things had a negative impact. And I have, I figured this out. And he said to me at that time, he said, David, um, what you have figured out, it takes people, It could, it could have taken somebody 15 to 20 years of talk therapy to figure out what you have figured out in, in a matter of a few months through microdosing. And that was be the beginning of my shadow work. Even though I didn't really understand what shadow work was or even know the name at that point, the beginning of my shadow work was figuring out why or what happened in my life to get me to where I am right now.
The shadow, the shadow that always followed me around. So let's just make this up. Um, let's just say through thinking and meditation and journaling and just being aware, once you've started your microdosing, let's just say you've come up with a thought. And the thought is something like, one of the reasons I am anxious and depressed as,

Here is the transcript to today's episode:
Speaker 1: (00:00)
So many of you have told me that you've tried microdosing magic mushrooms and they're just not working, and you're frustrated. We're gonna walk you through this right now. We're gonna get you going.
Speaker 1: (00:32)
Hey there. How are you? Dr. Dave Microdose. You welcome back. How did you like that? Um, little opening bumper. I had little video bumper I, I put in there. Uh, it's gonna be in my videos from now on until we change it. Tell me what you think. Make a little comment down there. Just let me know how you liked it. I appreciate that. So, um, okay, you are trying to microdose you have tried to microdose magic mushrooms and for some reason it is just not working. You're feeling still, um, depression, anxiety effects from, uh, previous traumas, whatever it might be. It's just not working. And you've heard all this hype and everybody, it's, it's worked for so many people and you're really, really frustrated. So let's talk about this and let's get you going and let's get you on a path that will, it will work.
Speaker 1: (01:17)
So, first and foremost, this is super important, and I know I've talked about this before, but it, it's worth repeating because it is crucial. You need to watch the video entitled, I, I did this video a short time ago. It's called The Absolute Beginner's Guide to Microdosing Magic Mushrooms. It's on my YouTube channel. I will make a little link down in the, in the, uh, in the show notes, in the comment, uh, the show notes, show notes would be better. Um, and direct you right there. It's super important. It tells you from start to finish exactly how to do it, what doses, how often, how to know if your dose is right, and much, much more. It walks you through in a very systematic way. And doing it systematically is super important. I mean, you can't just ask a bunch of people, Hey, I'm thinking about microdosing.
Speaker 1: (02:06)
Where do I start? Which dose should I start at? And people be throwing all kind of different answers to you, and, and you pick the one you like and you just start. That's, that's not the way you do it. Here's an analogy. Suppose you had to go in for surgery somewhere in your chest or your abdomen, just totally making this up, but just play with me here and your surgeon, the night before, he said to some, some of his colleagues, he said, Hey, I'm, I'm doing this surgery tomorrow. Um, where do you think the best place to start the incision would be? And some people say, Oh, you know, go low. It's a really, it's a, you know, you should go low. Some people say, Oh, go do it right here. Do it right here. He's gonna get like 20 different answers. And he's gonna say, Well, you know, maybe I like this one the best.
Speaker 1: (02:47)
And, and it's your body. And this surgeon is not sure exactly what to do. You wouldn't like that, would you? Now that's a pretty, um, extreme example, but it's very similar. The surgeon is highly trained and he's done, not only has he done this a lot, hopefully, but he's gone to school and, and, and learned systematically, if you have this problem and he's doing this surgery, here's exactly what, how you do it from A to Z. This is how you do it. It's the same thing with microdosing. Now, luckily, you're not doing surgery, but there's a way to do it. There's a proper protocol, although there's more than one proper protocol,

242 – Sleep Apnea and Microdosing
New to microdosing? Check out our resource page at https://davidmadow.com/your-microdosing-resource-page/
Here is the transcript to today's episode:
Dr. Dave: (00:00)
Hey there. Welcome back to Microdose U. I'm Dr. Dave. Thank you so much for being here. This is one of the episodes, um, that is so important. Um, I want you, if you tick or check off or star any episodes that you wanna refer back to. This is going to be one of them. It's something that I've talked a little about in the past, but not nearly enough, and it's something that I am actually worried about you, uh, possibly having this and that could be contributing to, let's face it, because one of the, um, reasons that you're likely here at Microdose you is because you're suffering or you have suffered with something like anxiety or depression, PTs, d um, something along that order. Um, chances are, because most of the people that attend attend micro dose, you are, are in that category, including myself. I have, I have suffered with those in the past.
Dr. Dave: (00:54)
Luckily, the microdosing has totally taken care of that. But that's a really good segue into this because, um, full disclosure, I did something major, um, a couple years ago that I think has also played a really big part in me feeling as good as I do every single day right now, and that is being evaluated and treated for sleep apnea. Now, before you go anywhere, I wanna share this with you. This is super, super important. Um, sleep apnea is a very, very dangerous medical issue. And, uh, they say that about 80 some per, I don't have the statistics right in front of me, but it's close enough. 80 some percent of the people that, um, have sleep apnea are not diagnosed. So, uh, that's a huge, huge, huge number. And to put things in per into perspective more, um, since I'm in the United States, I'll give you United States statistics, but it's probably similar all over the world because there'd be no reason why it wouldn't be.
Dr. Dave: (02:00)
Um, about 25% of adults have sleep apnea. Now, that's a huge number. That means one out of every four. And, and I think that's, from what I know about sleep apnea and from what, um, has been trending or, uh, uh, it's maybe not the right word, but, um, taking place. Um, I think in my opinion, I think that number's actually low. I think that's a, that's a low, very conservative number. I think more than 25% of the people in this country and probably in the world have sleep apnea. Let's back up for a second. And I, I don't want you to go anywhere because again, this is super, super important stuff. And if you don't think this pertains to you, it may, So hold on just a second in case you're not clear or understand what, what sleep apnea is. Um, in the most simplest terms, sleep apnea is, um, pausing, breathing in the middle of the night due to certain conditions taking place.
Dr. Dave: (03:02)
And, and the two most common conditions that people could stop their breathing in the middle of the night is due to an obstruction. So, in other words, let's say you have some, um, tissue that when you lay down, um, locks your airway and you will several times or could be, uh, many times per hour, Uh, stop reading. And the reason you will start again is just like you'll gasp or wake up a little bit and realize that you, your, your brain will realize that you stop reading and then you'll start again, only to go back to sleep and then have this start over and over and over again. This could take place anytime from any amount from, um, they say if it happens five times per hour or more, that is considered sleep apnea, in my opinion.
Dr. Dave: (03:51)
Again, it's only my opinion. Even, even if it takes place two to three times per hour, that is dangerous too. Imagine, imagine you're sleeping and they say the guidelines for obstructive sleep apnea or sleep apnea are, um, five times per hour having an event like that the last 10 seconds or more. Okay?
