Check out our resource page at https://davidmadow.com/your-microdosing-resource-page/ Nothing here is to be taken as medical advice. Dr. Dave is sharing his personal story with you. Please contact your healthcare professional to find out if this is right for you.  Here is the transcript to today's episode: Speaker 1: (00:00) How long will it take before magic mushrooms really start working and I feel better, I feel back the way I should feel? Well, this is the most commonly asked question I get, or at least one of the very most commonly asked questions. And we're gonna talk about that right now. Speaker 2: (00:31) Right now. Speaker 1: (00:33) Hey there. Welcome back to Microdose You. Yeah, I'm Dr. Dave. Thank you so much for being with me. I really appreciate you. This, there's a special episode for, um, you guys listening to my audio podcast. Every once in a while, I'm gonna throw in a special, it's gonna be a little bit longer than what we, where we normally go. And I've got a lot of great information for you. And yes, um, among the most commonly asked questions, this is one of them. How long will it take before I see it start feeling better? Or how long did it take you Dr. Day before you started feeling better? And I will say this, So, um, this is not medical advice and a lot of this, I'm just sharing my own journey, but it doesn't really matter how long it took me because everybody's different. Everybody feels different. Speaker 1: (01:15) If you give somebody, or you give a group of people, let's say a hundred people, the the same medication and the same dose at the same time, um, it will affect many people very differently. So there's not one rule or not one thing I can tell you that say, Okay, you are definitely gonna feel better by day 14. Um, now I just made that one up, so don't hold me to that. But, but, um, it, it, it really, it really does depend, and I wanna just share this with you right from the start. If you have not listened to my podcast episode called The Absolute Beginner's Guide to Microdosing Magic Mushrooms, I, I would really like you to go listen to that as soon as you finish listening to this one, because it's one of the most important and comprehensive podcast episodes I've ever made. Speaker 1: (02:03) And almost every single day I hear questions such as, Well, how much should I start with how much, how many grams or how many milligrams of magic mushrooms should I start? I've never done this before. It's super important. There's, I will tell you this, there's not just one dose that you could say, everybody just start with this and you're gonna be fine. So I go about systematically explaining what you should start with, but then how to evaluate to see, um, if and when you need to raise it and what you need to look for and things like that. So it's very, very important. And I'm gonna rec recommend you listen to that, uh, the Absolute Beginner's Guide to Microdosing Magic Mushrooms. But back to the original question, how long will it take before you start feeling better? So one thing I wanna share with you, and this is, this is really important, and I want you to really try to understand this. Speaker 1: (02:59) You did not start feeling bad in one day or in one week. Now, whatever you may have, what, uh, uh, not episode, what issues you might have. Um, be it, be it depression or anxiety or, uh, T s D or some type of maybe like eating disorder or, uh, uh, social anxiety or what, you know, the list is very long. You be, um, but, but for, but for one reason or another, you found yourself here. And likely, unless you're just super, super curious about this topic, likely you are hurting in some way. You've got something going on, and probably it's some form of depression and or anxiety.

Welcome back to Microdose U Dr. Dave here from Rockport State Park in Utah. Um, just a kind of a quick overnight here. We, um, my wife and I just got over two weeks of covid and it was really rough and we just had to cancel a pretty long road trip that we were planning for a long time. We were very upset about this, so we figured let's get out and at least do an overnight here at Rockport State Park. It's a beautiful reservoir with mountains. Let me just show you because I want to share something with you that's really, really important. Now, you can see some mountains in the background here, and there's a reservoir. Um, and if I ask you to, let's say you were a little kid and I you to draw me a mountain, your picture would be pretty much probably, you know, like a big dome, half dome or something, or could have like a pointed top. Dr. Dave: (00:55) But it would be a pretty simple picture of a mountain because when you think of a mountain, most people think of pretty simple, um, thing that's coming out of the, out of the ground that, um, rises up into the air and, um, that's it. Okay? But mountains are actually a lot more complex if you're actually on a mountain or, or visualizing a mountain from, you know, from where I am, you can see that there are many, many different aspects and, and geological features of mountains that are just, it's more than just, it's a lot more. There are ridges, there are, um, valleys there, there many times, like secondary mountains within a mountain. There could be definitely different peaks within one mountain, a summit. It's just, there are a lot of things going gullies. There are a lot of things going on in a mountain that are actually kind of complex, um, geologically or geographically, whatever, whatever the right word would be there. Dr. Dave: (01:48) It doesn't really matter what the right word is because my point is, um, when you take something like, um, anxiety, it's very easy to say, Well, I've got anxiety. And you think of a picture, you picture that as like, um, okay, I, I feel anxious all the time. I feel anxious. But there's a lot more going on with anxiety than just simply being anxious. Um, with your, if you're, if you've got anxiety, uh, chances are you've got a lot of other things going on in your body. Um, inflammation, um, high blood pressure, uh, maybe diabetes or prediabetes or some type of metabolic syndrome. Uh, maybe if you're anxious, you're having frequent, um, arguments with friends or spouse or family members because of anxiety and, um, a lot more things go into that. You probably with inflammation and, and, uh, and high blood pressure. You could be depositing, um, plaque in your arteries. Dr. Dave: (02:57) So my point is, you can say you have anxiety, but if you explore deeper, just like I explore the mountain deeper in, it's just not, it's not just, duh do, it's a very complex geological feature or geological thing. , I don't, I can't think of the right word. . Um, so you're here because you likely have either anxiety or depression or, um, ptsd, addiction, uh, insomnia. The list goes on and on because there's so many great reasons that you might wanna microdose that could take care of, take care of your issues. But please always remember it's a lot more complex than just anxiety. And, um, when you treat your anxiety, whether you treat it with matching mushrooms or anything, when you treat your anxiety, and I found out this, I found this out firsthand, all these other things melt away. So it's no longer, oh, I just, I'm just not anxious anymore. Dr. Dave: (04:10) It's no longer that it's more, Hey, my blood pressure is now normal. My thought process, my brain fog is, is gone. My, my, you know, I can think clearly, my cognitive abilities are much better.

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, I do not need a hundred friends, and I'm going to explain to you what I mean by that right now in this show. Hey, there. Welcome back to Microdose You. I'm Dr. Dave, and in this show we talk about all things microdose, magic, mushrooms, how to improve your life through microdosing, psychedelics, and, um, how to take care of things like depression and, um, PTSD and anxiety. And the list goes on and on and on. Well, I've been thinking about this for a while, and, um, I wanna know how many friends you really have. Um, I don't have a lot of friends and, and I, but don't, don't feel sorry for me because there are a lot of people I hang out with a lot, and I have good times with these people, but when I say a friend, I mean a true friend. Dr. Dave: (00:46) Um, a friend that you could call is three in the morning if you have a problem. And that person will listen to you without any kind of judgment and help you out in any way that person can. That is the type of friend I'm talking about. We all need one of those. And I'm also not referring to a, a spouse, a husband, a wife, uh, a significant other. I'm talking about somebody that outside of your everyday relationship, um, that one person, all you need is one, um, that you can say anything to. And I mean anything your deepest, darkest secrets and you will get advice and you will not get weird looks, You will not get shunned. I'm talking about that person. Do you have one? I hope you do. I do. I've had one and this person has been, I say my, in my life and my best friend for, um, let's just say a long, long time. Dr. Dave: (01:38) And I know this person was responsible for helping me get through my terrible two to three years that I just experienced, um, before I actually got into magic mushrooms and microdosing. And I went through a lot of depression and anxiety and crazy stuff with work and just all kinds of stuff that really, and, and, um, even back when I was getting divorced, my, my, from my first marriage, this person was always with me and I could confide and I would always get, um, I would always have somebody to lean on. Yeah, we all have friends, We all have a certain number of friends, but the type of friends that we just kind of go to the park with or go, you know, go to a movie with or go out to eat, they're not always, sometimes they can be, but they're not always the type of friend that you need that can seriously, and I mean, seriously help you through things that are going on in your life. Dr. Dave: (02:31) And again, I say without any judgment, without any jealousy, this is somebody that you can talk about a great achievement, that you've had somebody, something that really went great in your life, and that person is never jealous and never tries to compete with you in any way, and is always there to support you and help you and encourage you and, and, and root you on and want you to do better and better and better. There are not many people like that. I remember from my first marriage, uh, we had a lot of friends, our social calendar was always booked at anybody looking from the outside would think, Wow, they've got so many good friends and they're so popular and they're always doing something and they're always traveling and going to the movies and restaurants and events and social gatherings. Guess what? I was lonely because these friends were friends. Dr. Dave: (03:20) And I found out the reason I, and I never realized it, maybe I'm stupid, but I never realized, but I found out after a really tough event took place in my life, and that was a divorce. And these friends scurried faster than the fastest mice you would ever see on this planet. I mean, they scurried all over the place, but away from me. And I don't think any of them even ever for a second sat down and ...

Dr. Dave is sharing his personal story with you. Please contact your healthcare professional to find out if this is right for you. Here is the transcript to today's episode: Speaker 1: (00:00) Hey, there is Dr. Dave, and I'm gonna be sharing with you today why you should not be afraid to microdose or you should not be concerned about using magic, mushrooms, psilocybin, et cetera. We're gonna get into all of that today. Thanks so much for being with me. I really appreciate you. By the way, this is a special edition of my podcast. Um, it's coming out on a day. I usually release the podcast, the audio shows on Fridays. It's coming out a little bit earlier. I just wanna test this and see how it goes. I throw in a special edition for you, special episode for you. See how you like it. It's gonna be a little bit longer than most cause I'm gonna give you a lot of information. So let's dig in right now. And by the way, if you like what you hear either now or when you get a chance, the end of the show, I'll go into the, um, go into your podcast app and just give me a, uh, a good, honest review. Speaker 1: (00:50) It really helps the show. And I'm here to just share my personal story with people across the globe because I've, I've found out that, um, not only did I have some issues with depression and anxiety and PTSD and and things like that, but I found out that so many people, so many of you have issues that are very similar to mine. And even if they're not exactly the same, I am a, um, really, really firm believer that microdosing magic mushrooms is the answer. It was for me. I'm not special. I'm not, I'm no different than you probably, although everybody's different. I'm, I'm, you know, I'm not that much different. We're all not, we're all not that much different from each other. It will work for you. It's, it's, but you have to do it. But number one, you can't be worried or afraid. Um, and that's one of the biggest reasons that people read about it. Speaker 1: (01:45) Listen to podcasts, watch YouTube videos, and, and do a lot of research. But then for some reason, they just never start. And I'm here to address a lot of the reasons why people don't get started. And also, um, why you should not be afraid to get started. Because there's really, it's, it's actually pretty simple and there's nothing to it. But you do have to know a few things for sure. So one of the reasons, um, that you or possibly other people do not, I mean, they look into it so much and they wanna do it, but they just don't get started, is because they're afraid. Um, they could be afraid of, or you, you could be afraid of several different things, one thing. But the most common things that people are worried about, well, number one, let's just tackle this one right away. Um, it's in most, in most places, I'm recording here from Utah in the United States, in most places, it is a felony. Speaker 1: (02:38) It's a fe, it's federally illegal. It is, um, you, you, you, you, it's, it's, you'll get in trouble. You'll get in trouble if you get caught. But having said that, I think if you are just using a little bit to microdose and you have a reliable source, um, and you're doing this in the privacy, privacy of your own, own home, uh, the, the chance of anything really happening, I mean, I can't say it's impossible, but the chance, if you're super careful like I am, if you're super careful, uh, you're gonna be fine with that. So the, um, oh, I don't, as you know, if you're been listening to me for a while, I don't discuss sourcing here. I don't source at all. Um, please don't ask me where to get magic mushrooms or psilocybin or anything. Like, don't, don't ask me cuz I'm not gonna be able to share because I want to keep this show clean. Speaker 1: (03:29) Um,

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) So my psychiatrist admitted to me that talk therapy is. I'm gonna tell you all about that right now. I'm Dr. Dave and welcome to microdose you. And before we get into today's episode, I just wanna make sure you always know that this is not medical advice. Even though I am a doctor, I'm a retired dentist. I am not authorized to be giving out medical advice on YouTube. I share my experience and what I've been through as far as with, um, anxiety, depression, microdosing, how that's all helped me. And you're free to take away anything you want, but it's not official medical advice. So, um, about oh four to five months after I started microdosing magic mushrooms, I was sitting in my psychiatrist office for a regular appointment. And at that time I was still on, um, antidepressants or I should say antidepressant singular was Lexapro. Dr. Dave: (00:52) And we were having a really nice little chat. And I came in with my little notebook here, just something like this. And I said, Hey doc, um, let me share with you what I've learned from microdosing. And yeah, he knew that I was microdosing. He was in favor of it actually. And I began to read off some things about my life that I figured out why I feel like this. Now what happened in the past? And after reading off a list of things that I figured out from microdosing, he kind of came forward to me and said, Dave, I've gotta tell you something. What you learned in four to five months, whenever it was four to five months, it would've taken you over 20 years of talk therapy to have realized all that and to have figured all this stuff out. So, first of all, I was very happy to hear the progress I made just from microdosing. Dr. Dave: (01:40) And second of all, I took that to mean from his words, if you just read between the lines that talk therapy is, because who can, who can afford to spend 20 years on coming in, sitting on the sofa in somebody's office and chatting and trying to improve your life. That's not a way that's way too slow. And he didn't even guarantee that 20 years would do it. So it could possibly be more. Now I've spent a lot of time in therapist's office over the years, but, um, going back to my first marriage, I saw, I used to see a therapist sometimes off and on, and she was really nice and we had good sessions and I paid her a lot of money, but, um, did it really help me? Um, no, I can't say that it did it didn't didn't change my life in any way. Dr. Dave: (02:27) Didn't I mean, I really wish I would've had somebody good because she would've let me see what was going on in my life and my marriage. And I would've been able to make decisions faster than I I had done. So I wish it worked, but it, it didn't work at all. And then once I got divorced again, this is my first marriage. When I got divorced, um, I went to see a therapist. She was a psychiatrist, so a psychiatrist, an MD, a physician. And I would go in and not only did she prescribe me antidepressants, but we would have an hour talk about two to three times a week. And it was fun. I mean, it was actually fun going in and chatting with somebody and telling her about my life. But when I look back now, it, it didn't help me at all. It didn't help. Dr. Dave: (03:10) It didn't help me figure things out. It didn't help me change it. And she was very, very highly regarded, um, physician MD and, um, psychiatrist. It's not that she wasn't, she was no slouch, but sometimes therapists don't even know what to say. And sometimes they say horrible things. Now she says something to me at one point towards the end of my therapy, uh, and never went back to her after this. But she, we were somehow, I don't know. You know, sometimes you get on tangent and we were talking about, uh, this must have been in 2008 because we were talking about the up...

This is Microdose U I'm Dr. Dave, and I've got some really good questions from some viewers and listeners that I want to answer on this show today. They're very commonly asked questions that I've got. One of 'em is a real doozy. This is not a common one, but before I get into it, I wanna share with you, uh, this is what day three. Oh, yep. I have COVID right now. This is what day three looks like here. I am day three. COVID um, I shouldn't be laughing, you know, COVID can be serious. Luckily, my case is not terrible and, um, I've been vaxxed and up to totally up to date with my vaccines. And also I am taking the, um, PLO vid, uh, it's the antiviral because I'm in a high risk group. I am, I'm not immuno immunocompromised or anything, but I am over 60. Dr. Dave: (00:53) So they say that I am in a high risk group. So I wanna do everything I can to stay safe, stay healthy so I can continue giving you information and helping you with what I've been through and hopefully it'll help you. So that's okay. That's that's that's it about? COVID I'm I'm okay. Tonight. I, I, I occasionally have to cough quite a bit. So if I do, I'll edit that out. So you won't even know I'm coughing. Okay. Let's get right into the first question. And by the way, as you know, this is not to be construed or taken as medical advice, friend, talking to friend, I just wanna make sure because some people, you know, it's a crazy society we're in these days. And now I just wanna make sure that you know, that I'm, even though I'm a retired dentist, I call myself doctor. Dr. Dave: (01:35) I am a doctor. I'm not in the position to be giving medical advice. This is just my experience, what I've learned from my journey with microdosing and taking some occasional larger doses. Okay. Let's get into the questions right now. Where are they? Where are they? Let's get them. Um, okay. First question is, um, Dr. Dave, um, which strain is best for anxiety and depression for microdosing. Um, great question again. If this, all the time, I am not a strain expert, the most common species. Now there's a difference between strains and species. Species is like a higher up group. So species would Bellicide Cubis. That's the most probably common species of psychedelic mushrooms. Although there are others, there are other SIL side Cubis is, is the most common and within PIDE SIS, there are a ton of strains. I don't even know how many, but there are a lot. Dr. Dave: (02:29) I don't pretend to know them all, but the most common strains, especially for microdosing are ones that are kind of mild to moderate. They're not like super, super strong strains. So the ones that come to my mind are B plus and golden teachers probably heard those a lot, mention a lot, uh, whoever you're getting, you're, whoever you're sourcing from. Um, just ask them what type, what strain it is. And, and there's a very good chance if they're doing, if you're doing it from microdosing, there's a very good chance. It would be either B plus golden teachers or else listen to what they say. And if it's some something in that category, that's fine too. Okay. That's best strains. Let's get to the next question. Dr. Dave, I heard that psilocybin and other psychedelics may cause heart valve problems. Is that true? What's the story? Um, that's a great question. Dr. Dave: (03:17) I've heard the same thing. Um, I'm honestly not sure. I've tried to research this quite a bit because I would not wanna personally be taking something that could be harming my heart valves. I have not been able to find anything conclusive. I've seen things that hint that there could be problems with heart valves. If you're taking psychedelics. Other studies say, uh, I don't even know if they're formal studies, but they say, no,

Welcome back to microdose you. I am Dr. Dave and I've got some, um, letters I wanna share with you today. Letters. I've gotten some from a lot of my viewers and listeners. Uh, we'll call this the microdose mail bag. How is that? They're pretty powerful. And the second one is a little bit longer. I've read two of them today. The second one was a little bit longer, but I want you to listen to it till the end, because it's really profound at the end. You, you are going to want to hear this, so I'll get right into this. And by the way, nothing that I share on this channel is to be taken as medical advice through your own research. Talk to your own doctor, um, just sharing my experience and others' experiences, but, um, be very careful with what you do now. Dr. Dave: (00:39) The first letter, Hey Dr. Dave, I started microdosing two weeks after watching your videos. The results are amazing so far. I can't even believe it. I started swimming again, walking and riding my bike. This may sound dumb, but you couldn't pay me again on a bike before this. I can already feel my anxiety starting to taper off. Thanks so much for doing what you do. Best regards Aaron, Aaron, you are very welcome. And I really appreciate you writing in. And I, I just hear story after story such as yours, people that have tried everything else, but, uh, they could not get really what they wanted. They couldn't, they couldn't feel the way they wanted to feel until they started microdosing magic mushrooms, psilocybin. So Aaron, congratulations, please stay in touch and let us know how it goes in the future as well. Just great to hear stories like this. Dr. Dave: (01:30) The second, the second letter I get. Hi, Dr. Dave, my name is Dom I'm 25 years old. I'm a brand new subscriber on your channel, and I really want to share my experience with you a bit with psilocybin mushrooms. For many years, I suffered from anxiety, depression, trauma, and some addiction. Also one time I felt like I was at a really bad point and I decided to get some psilocybin mushrooms to see if they could help me. At first, I started experimenting with microdosing and small doses, but eventually I worked my way up to five grams, the FD heroic dose, and I set my attention for wisdom. It was like nothing I had ever experienced. I saw my entire life flash before my eyes, and it was like, I contacted God or my higher power, or perhaps simply from my higher self, because I was receiving messages through my mind telling me beautiful things like messages of gratitude, forgiveness, and profound things of that nature. Dr. Dave: (02:32) And after the experience I was in shock and I soon realized that I felt there was a weight lifted off of me. And since then, I have not felt depressed at all. I genuinely feel like a different person because I feel mentally and emotionally stronger and more resilient. I feel super passionate about this, and I really want to help others see the potential of these mushrooms. And I hope one day for them to be legalized in my home country of Canada and beyond. I think that your method of microdosing is perfectly valid, but that taking a very large dose can produce similar, but much more rapid results with the potential benefits. I just wanna add one thing. It has actually been two and a half years since that experience and I still feel that difference. So in my experience, I feel a really long term positive change to my personality and outlook on life. Dr. Dave: (03:23) I just think that's important to know, because if I just took them yesterday or a month ago, that's pretty short term, but I feel the fact that it's been so long lasting is really amazing. Dom, thank you so much for that. It's, it's such a great story to hear. And, um,

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) So I said to my psychiatrist, I'm fixed, I'm done. I don't need you anymore. And then he looked at me and what he said back to me. Oh my God, I'm gonna talk about that right now. Standby. Hey, there I am Dr. Dave and welcome back to microdose you, as you know, um, on my channel here, I speak a lot about microdosing magic mushrooms, SIL assignment, because that is basically what has taken me out of this crazy, crazy funk that I had been in for many years called anxiety, depression, PTSD at a lot more so about, um, close to a year and a half ago, it's bordering going a year and a half ago or so. Um, I was just getting so fed up with the way I was feeling. And I was in psychotherapy with my psychiatrist and it was all due to just some really crazy stuff going on, um, such as anxiety and depression and PTSD and insomnia, and just a lot more craziness. Dr. Dave:: (01:00) And I was going through talk therapy. Well, in my opinion, talk therapy either does not work or it's so slow that it would take like decades and decades to really see some progress. Now I know everybody's different and some people maybe get results from talk therapy very quickly. I've been in talk therapy on and off from my entire life. And other than it being kind of like a, um, a way to go in and just talk to somebody that has no, um, judgment or anything like that, it, it just, to me, it never seemed super helpful at, or it didn't, it didn't really help my anxiety or depression or anything like that. It just was a way to speak about it. So back about a year and a half ago, or close to it, when I said to my psychiatrist, I really believe I want to try microdosing magic mushrooms. Dr. Dave: (01:48) Um, I was on Lexapro at the time, which is an antidepressant of course, an SSRI. And I said, but, you know, I, I want your opinion. What do you think? And he said, absolutely. He said, I've got patients that use them that have had great results and it's worth a try. That's what he said. It's, it's definitely worth a try. So I did. And I started off not knowing anything at all about magic mushrooms. I just didn't know anything about that world whatsoever. And if you wanna check back, if you wanna know more about how you can do it, if you want, this is not medical advice at all, but I did do a video. I've got a bunch of videos on this stuff on this channel, but I did one recently that is called the absolute beginners guide to microdosing magic mushrooms, because I've had so many questions from people from, from the start. Um, how do I do it? What dose do I take? Um, and, and I answer all the questions. So I just want to throw that your way in case you have any questions. So I started microdosing and after a short amount of time, I was able to get off some of my well, actually all of my blood pressure medication, my blood pressure went down totally to normal levels. It was actually starting to go too low. So that's when I knew it was time to get off my blood pressure medication. Uh, I went Dr. Dave: (02:58) Off, I got off of anti-anxiety and I was still on my Lexapro, but after a period of time, I decided to start going down to a lower dose and a lower dose. Um, but recently I totally got off of my Lexapro. I'm I'm not taking any medication whatsoever now, and I'm not taking any pharmaceutical medication for my, um, things that I was going through such again, such as the, um, anxiety, depression, et cetera, about a, a very short time ago, like within a week or two ago, I went into my psychiatrist for a regular appointment and I sat down. I felt fantastic. I felt better than I have in my entire life. And I said, guess what, doctor I'm totally done. I am fixed. I feel better than I ever have in that I can remember in decades. And he looked right back at me and said, David,

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) I have been doing transcendental meditation twice a day for 20 minutes at a time for one full month. And I'm gonna share with you exactly the changes that I have seen in my body and in my mind and in my life before I do. I just want to welcome you to microdose you. I am Dr. Dave, and on this channel I share with you, um, how microdosing magic mushrooms psilocybin has totally, totally changed my life for the better. So let's get into the program today. I, yes, I have been, uh, doing TM, doing trans Atal meditation for exactly one month, twice a day, 20 minutes at a time. And I will tell you this, that I have found out that transcendental meditation and TM are both trademarked or copyright terms. And I am not really allowed to use them, but I will share with you, I am not associated with the organization in any way. Dr. Dave: (00:54) I'm not a certified instructor. I've never taken the instruction from them. I've done it from my research and I learned how to do it on my own, which I will share with you. But since I'm not allowed to call it transcendental meditation, let's call it. I don't know. Let's call it just for the sake of today's show. We'll call it microdosing meditation. I don't know if that's good or bad, but since I'm not allowed to call it TM or transcendental meditation, um, if I'm talking about it or giving instructions on it, we'll call it microdosing meditation for today. So, um, what have I noticed after one month? And I'm, by the way, I'm still going to continue to do it, but after one month, I think that's a pretty safe time to share with you the changes I've noticed in my body and in my life. Dr. Dave: (01:36) And in my mind, I have been extremely calm and my sleep has been really, really good. And not only that, it seems to me like I need less sleep. I just got back from a one week road trip and on the road trip, it was a little bit more difficult since I was doing a lot of things with friends and family and activities. It was a little bit more difficult to get the amount of sleep I normally get, but even getting less sleep, I felt totally rejuvenated and really, really good and awake, um, each day with less sleep. So again, I'll get into whether I think this was an effective TM or a result or a product of the TM or otherwise. And I'll share that with you too. I can think super clearly, I've been at total 100% peace with myself. I feel like I've been more forgiving of other people, more understanding, and the list goes on and on, but those are kind of the main things that I have noticed since I've been doing the, uh, transcendental me. Oh, not transcend, I mean, re dosing meditation twice a day for 20 minutes at a time. And again, I'm going to show share with you. It'll take me just a few minutes. Exactly, exactly how I do it every single day from start to finish. But, um, something I am not sure of. And that is Dr. Dave: (02:58) Since I've been microdosing, these are the same changes that I've noticed with my microdosing. So almost exactly the same. So I can't really be sure that either the transcendental Medi the microdosing meditation the microdosing meditation has made it better, or whether it's just a, a, a factor that I've been microdosing longer and I'm going through these changes anyway, I'm not positive. Um, but I, from what I've heard from what I've read, the, um, changes that we notice from microdosing magic mushrooms and from microdosing meditation, um, they're very, very similar. So I will say for, for those of you that are a little bit reluctant, not sure about microdosing, you're a little bit worried about using something that is in some areas, not legal, um, doing the microdosing meditation might be a safe and viable alternative for you. So let me share with you exactly how I do it now. Dr.

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, Dr. Dave here, Microdose U, how are you today? I saw a really, , pretty cool, I would say visual effect that I've never seen before while I was just microdosing microdosing magic mushrooms. , so to start off, I will tell you I was taking, I, I took a, I would go into a class today. , my wife and I were going to a, , meditation slash sound bath class, where it was gonna be about two hours, the woman that was running, it was gonna be doing a little lecture first. And then we were gonna do some, , meditation, then a sound bath, and then some discussions. So it was gonna be about two hours and we're sitting there in the class and I had taken a little nibble off of a, , chocolate I had at home. It was, , made by a friend of mine and it contained, , albino, penis envy. Dr. Dave: (00:51) And the, the entire chocolate say it was about, I don't know about that big, but I took like just before class, just like a little nibble, like a tiny, tiny, Def, definitely a microdosed for sure. But I will tell you this, whenever I've taken albino penis envy in the past, it has always had like a, like a wow effect, even a tiny bit, this effect that I've never felt with any other, any of the regular strains, like golden teachers or any of the, you know, the normal things we usually microdose with. And it's like, it's like, wow. So you're even just a little bit. So, , I did that, didn't think much of it and we're sitting in class and it's, it's the beginning of it. It's kind of like the lecture part. And I'm looking at the woman who's leading the class and I'm starting to see this. Dr. Dave: (01:36) , how can I describe it the best way I can describe it is really, , kind of like a white shadow outline, like a white outline, a thick white outline around her, around everywhere. Her, it appeared to be behind her. So wherever she would move, this outline would just move with her. And it was really, it wasn't scary at all. It was, , it was actually really comforting, pleasing, , interesting. And it didn't, , disturb me in any way and it didn't, it didn't take away from the lecture. It just, I recognized it. I knew that I had taken the nibble of the albino penis, envy mushroom chocolate before the class. So I knew what was going on, but it was really strange and it wasn't always there. I had to be looking at her like, if I can explain this, and again, it's, it's kind of hard to explain, but I had to be looking at her like in a certain way. I think if I would just look regular regularly at her straight on head on, , I wouldn't see it, but if I would like move my eyes or move my head in a certain way, it was like very vivid, very clear to the point where like, it would, I was wondering if anybody else was seeing this white outline around her, but then I realized, no, they probably weren't. It was probably just me cuz I'm the only one that probably had the nibble of the albino penis and the mushroom. Dr. Dave: (02:55) , the class was really Dr. Dave: (03:00) Nice. I would say, I think once we did the sound bath, which was kind of, she's playing these different, , ceramic singing bowls, , that are in tune to all of the chakras and real pleasant. I got a, I felt, I think I got a lot out of the class today. , I forgot to bring my journal then normally at the end of the class, I would start, I would journal, I would write some things in the journal, but I totally forgot my journal today. So, but that's okay. But I just wanted to share that really interesting experience mainly with the, , very, very, very vivid white outline. I'm wondering whether any of you have ever seen anything like that. , there were no other like apparent visuals when I closed my eyes during the sound bath part during the meditation, I just had some closed eye visuals for sure.

When you look in the mirror, what do you see? Hey, I'm Dr. Dave from microdose. U do you see somebody that's too fat, too thin? Not beautiful enough, not handsome enough, looking too old, looking too ragged, looking like you're not good enough to fit in. What do you see? I'm curious because I've been through times when I looked in the mirror myself and I did not like what I saw at all, what I saw in the mirror was actually a reflection of how I felt about myself. And a lot of times it was not, it was not good at all. The mirror doesn't lie, but sometimes it does. You see, even though on the outside, I probably look good to most people out there. The way I saw myself just was not living up to my expectations. And no, it didn't take any type of color in my hair or plastic surgery or anything like that. Dr. Dave: (01:02) Like, what do you call it? Like eye lifts or I don't even know what you call this stuff. Botox wouldn't take any of that. I, it, it finally got to the point where I had to feel good about myself, to look in the mirror and really be in love with that person that I saw reflecting back at me, microdosing magic mushrooms is a good therapy. It absolutely works. It turned my life around, but you have to work with them. Also as your brain starts to become rewired, you will start to enjoy looking at that person in the mirror that maybe in the past, you have not enjoyed, not enjoying looking at that person in the mirror will cause anxiety. It possibly could cause depression. It could cause all kind of things that you just don't wanna feel and don't want to feel about yourself. It will. Dr. Dave: (01:56) So that's one of the reasons I started microdosing and magic mushrooms because I did not like who I was. I didn't like the way I was feeling every day. The mushrooms have totally reversed that, but I still look in the mirror. And sometimes even to this day, sometimes I still feel that I'm too old looking or my face is too fat or whatever it might be. I'm really working on that. And it's a work in progress and it does. I wanna share with you, it does not happen overnight. You will not get results overnight. You have to keep working with it and put the work into it as well. Not only in the magic mushrooms, but put the work into other things like journaling and meditation, which I've talked about some in previous videos and we'll continue to talk about it in future videos. So if you've not subscribed yet, make sure you hit that little button there. Speaking of the mirror, I remember back, this goes back probably 30 years or so that I used to when I was practicing dentistry and seeing patients and I had a mirror in Dr. Dave: (02:58) My, my treatment room. And while I was working on patients, I was able to somehow fixate on this mirror. And in the mirror, I saw a person who was me, who was not enjoying his life, not enjoying what he was doing as a profession, not even enjoying who he was with all the time. I saw a person that I knew could improve, but did not know how to improve. And that's why I paid the dear price of 30 plus years. Several decades of not living the life. That was true to me, no matter what the mirror told me and continuing, without trying to make any changes, it got to the point where I became sick and feeling horrible every day to it got to that point that I knew I had to do something or I would not live much longer. So I'm going to ask you to do this exercise, do it today, do it right now. Dr. Dave: (03:51) As soon as this video was over, look at your yourself in the mirror. What do you see? Please be honest, be honest with yourself. You don't have to tell me what you see. Be honest with yourself. Do you see somebody that you are in love with? And I don't mean being ego maniac or be narcissistic or anything...

New to microdosing? Check out our resource page at https://davidmadow.com/your-microdosing-resource-page/ Dr. Dave: (00:00) Hey there. It's Dr. Dave Microdose U. So I posted a question this morning on my YouTube channel. The question was really, really simple. And maybe even a little bit vague, it said, are you worried? Just those three words, are you worried? Question mark and preliminary results are in? And I think I have pretty good feel for the way it's gonna go. But, , as of right now, 51% of you said, yes, you are worried 24% said, you're not sure. And then another, like maybe 25% or so, whatever that nber comes to, , said no. So 51%. Yes. 24%. Not sure. Well, let me tell you something, if you're not sure if you're worried, you're worried because if you were not worried about anything and it doesn't really matter what it is, but if you're not worried about anything, you would just say, no, I'm not worried, but if you say, , I'm not sure then if you say, you're not sure you're worried. Dr. Dave: (00:58) So, so 75% of you, 75% are worried. So I want to talk about this today. First of all, let's start off with this. You're gonna be fine. I absolutely promise you. You will be fine and things will be fine. I'm not sure what you're worried about. 75% of you are worried. So it could range from anything from, I don't know, a, a job you're in a relationship you're in, , inflation gas prices, a war, , P a political craziness. , it, it, it could be the, the stock market crashing, , Bitcoin going down. I mean, it could, it could be, it could be any of those and a lot more. So again, I want to stop you and say, take a step back, take a deep breath. You're going to be fine. That's coming from one of the biggest warriors or maybe one of the biggest ex warriors warriors, not warrior, but warrior in the world. Dr. Dave: (02:12) I have always been a worrier, always my entire life. I remember worrying about stuff back when I was eight, nine, and 10, like really worried about stuff. I was worried about, , stuff that was totally outta my control. So if anybody understands you worrying, I totally get it. But what I wanna say is, again, after taking a step back and taking a deep breath and saying that everything's gonna be fine, I really mean it. I'm very serious. It will be fine in our lives. We go through good times, tough times, good times, tough times. It might be personally. It might be the country. It might be the world. It might be, , could be the environment. It could be, it could be anything. , but as bad as things seem to you, because you're worried three outta four of you are worried as bad as things seem to you. Dr. Dave: (03:12) Now they will get better. It's a promise. I mean, I've had to have people have the same conversation with me two years ago or two and a half years ago when roughly, , I was having some health issues, , physical, mental, a lot of anxiety, depression, , coronavirus was just hitting. , I was getting burnt out at my, at my work. , things were in my life. Things were really bad. I mean, I really felt that everything was on fire. I felt like the world was on fire, everything, everything that could go wrong to me and people around me was going wrong. I mean, you know, this was early in coronavirus. We thought, we thought everybody might die. We, we didn't know. So I was going through some horrible stuff, horrible stuff. And here we are two and a half years later, two, two plus years later, , I'm still alive. Dr. Dave: (04:10) I'm healthy. I'm smiling. I'm not anxious right now. My depression's gone. I worked on things and things cycled, you know, things cycled around. I mean, , you know, , maybe gas prices two years ago were super low. Now they're crazy. High coronavirus was crazy high. Now it's now that's low things, things cycle things, cycle it's, it's gonna be okay, but it's probably not enough for me just to say, it's gonna be okay. That's prob I mean, maybe that's a good pep talk,

I am Dr. Dave and welcome to microdose U today. I'm gonna be sharing with you the absolute beginner's guide to microdosing magic mushrooms. Um, I've been doing these videos for probably close to a year now. And, um, I, I seem to get like the same questions over and over and over again. So a lot of times I refer people to one of my videos or another video, but today what I'm going to try to do is to give you all the information you need to know in one video, that's very easy to understand, very easy to digest. So this could kind of be your go to video. If you have any questions at all, from start to finish about microdosing, you should refer back to it because I'm gonna really try to answer every single thing you need to know about microdosing. Dr. Dave: (00:47) If you're a beginner or if you've gotten into it and you have questions. Um, and this is also the type of video that if you have anybody that you know is interested in microdosing and they have a lot of questions, and they're asking you, then refer them to this video because Dr. Dave here at microdose, you will take care of all of the questions. So let's dive right into it right now. Let's start with a question that's, um, basic, and we need to start with this. What exactly is microdosing? So in this video and really in all my videos, when I refer to microdosing, I'm, I'm talking about microdosing magic mushrooms. The active ingredient is SIL Sabin, and there are a lot of other things you can micro dose with people, micro dose with L S D uh, MDMA. Uh, the list goes on and on, but my experience, and I was gonna say my expertise, but my experience is definitely only with magic mushrooms. Dr. Dave: (01:41) So I'm referring to magic mushrooms in this video, you can extrapolate to other plant substances if you like. But, um, in this video in particular, we're only talking about magic mushrooms. So microdosing is taking a subception dose of magic mushrooms. So you're not getting the psychedelic effect. You're not going on a trip per se, but the subception dose is enough over time to take care of things that you might want to change in your life, things that are going on in your life that you wanna see improve. And that'll actually segue right into the next section. What do people use it for? Why do people want to microdose? And the answer to that is, well, I'll give you a list of things that I have used it for and continue to use it for. And there are others too that maybe I won't even know about, but there, there microdosing has helped people with many different issues. The most common in some of the ones that I've used at four are depression, anxiety, um, insomnia, PTSD addiction. I personally have never had an addiction problem, but I know many people have. And I know that microdosing magic mushrooms has been very, um, instrumental and, and people have used it successfully in combating addiction problems. Dr. Dave: (02:59) Some people want to be more present in the moment, more mindful in their lives. And microdosing is an excellent, excellent tool for that. Some people wanna be more spiritual, understand the, their purpose of life. Um, things like that. And again, microdosing really helps with, with that as well. I actually had a problem sometimes when I wasn't, maybe I was going through depression, anxiety. I just felt like I couldn't get things going. I just, you know, I would wake up in the morning and just, I would just Dick around. And, and I had maybe like a list of things I wanted to do for the day, or even in my mind, but I just, I just couldn't get going. I was just lazy, procrastinating and magic mushrooms have really helped me quite a bit with that. And some people wanna be more creative, better at their work. Dr. Dave: (03:45) Um,

Check out our resource page at https://davidmadow.com/your-microdosing-resource-page/ Here is the complete transcript to today’s show: Dr. Dave: (00:00) So, how do you know if, and when it's time to stop microdosing magic mushrooms, I'm going to answer that question for you right now. , I just wanted to reintroduce myself. I'm Dr. Dave, in case you don't know me in case you're new to my channel, I really appreciate you. And here's where I share with you my experience and others' experiences, as far as changing lives through magic mushrooms, and whether you're listening to me on my audio podcast or on my video channel, , on YouTube, I really, really appreciate you and help me spread the word. If you can, if you think it's appropriate for friends or family members, whoever to, , get this information, please, please share it with them. We are changing the world one person at a time. , anyway, I also want to apologize for not being able to reply. I, I try to reply and respond to all messages and help everybody out. Dr. Dave: (00:50) But for the past couple weeks, my wife and I have been on this road trip in our RV van throughout we live in, we live in Utah. So throughout Idaho, Montana, glacier national park into Canada, the Canadian Rockies ban lake Louise, , where else? Right now, I'm, I'm sitting on a, on a balcony in, , Emerald lake. I still in the Canadian Rockies is just, if you ever get a chance to come out here and visit this area, , of the United States and Canada is, is so awesome. But anyway, , I digress. I've been going through a lot of bad sell areas. I just can't get online. Like I usually am when I'm home or when I'm somewhere. So I appreciate your patience and it's not that I don't love you anymore. It's just that I have not been able to get online, to answer many comments at all. Dr. Dave: (01:36) Now let's get back to the question that I asked at the very beginning. When is it appropriate? If, and when you should stop microdosing or using magic mushrooms as a medicine to help you with anxiety, depression, PTSD, , insomnia addiction, the list goes on and on and on. So I've been microdosing magic mushrooms for about, I, I guess probably about 14 months now, as I'm making this video, I started in April of 2021. , and they have literally changed my life. I, I tried everything else and nothing really helped my anxiety and my depression and my PTSD. , but when I, once I started using magic mushrooms or using them as medicine, , my world totally changed. And I could not imagine a time cause I really, not only were they helping me, but I enjoyed the feeling that I got while I, while I'm microdosing and I still do to this day. But I also heard along the way, people that say or told me that, you know, there comes a point where you don't really need them anymore. You're kind of, they kind of take care of you're kind of fixed. You're kind of cured if it's okay to use that word cured. I don't know if we're ever cured, but you know what I mean? , so I can, but I can never imagine at a time they were working so well for me and I Dr. Dave: (02:58) Was feeling so good. I could never, ever imagine a time where I would just say, okay, I'm not using these anymore. I don't need them anymore. But here we are about 14 months later after beginning. And I can understand, totally understand that now. , I feel right now totally at peace every single day. And it's the first time I've been able to say this probably in my entire life or at least since I was a kid first time ever. And I've, I'm, I've tried everything. I've tried, you know, , talk therapy and all of the pharmaceuticals that they say you need to, to feel better about yourself and combat anxiety. I tried it all. And the only thing that really really changed my life has been the microdosing magic mushrooms, psilocybin. That is honestly, I guess it has reset my brain in some way that I have never felt like this before. Dr.

New to microdosing? Check out our resource page at https://davidmadow.com/your-microdosing-resource-page/ Welcome back to Microdose U. Many people feel extreme anxiety from the thought of microdosing magic mushrooms. In this show, Dr. Dave sheds some light on how to prevent anxiety from microdosing psilocybin. Here is the complete transcript to today’s show: Dr. Dave: (00:00) Hey there, if you're hesitating, beginning your microdose journey, because you've heard it's going to bring out all this anxiety and you, and you're really afraid. It's gonna make you super anxious. I'm here to help you on this video. Here we go. I'm Dr. Dave, this is not to be taken as medical advice, but I've been microdosing and also thrown in some larger doses over a period of, well over a year, 13, 14, 15 months, something like that now. And I've heard from so many people lately that they've got issues with anxiety, depression, and they really want to try microdosing, but they've heard from other people that it has the potential to make you extremely anxious. And for that reason, these people don't wanna start because they're afraid that it's gonna make them so anxious. They can't do it while I'm here to alleviate your fears. , in the 13, 14, 15, whatever one year plus, , that I've been microdosing. Dr. Dave: (00:53) I wanted shared with you how many times I've had anxiety from silocybin anxiety from microdosing, and I've done doses anywhere from a hundred milligrams up to larger than microdose up to maybe two grams. And the nber of times I've had anxiety from using psilocybin or magic mushrooms is zero that's, right? It's never, ever happened to me now. I realize everybody is different, but I really believe, and I don't think anybody knows this for sure. So don't believe everything you hear. I really believe that the reason people become super anxious after microdosing is because it's all in their mind and they, they, it's kind of starting an anxiety attack, but it's not really the, the magic mushrooms. It's not really the psilocybin is doing. It's your mind. That's doing it. I'll give you a couple examples. , before I started microdosing, I had extreme anxiety. I remember one time I was driving my car. Dr. Dave: (01:48) I was at an intersection. It was a red light. I was stopped there. And for some reason, I don't know what the reason is. I became super anxious. It was an anxiety attack. I didn't know what to do. It was really, really bad, but was it my car that made me anxious? Was it the actual intersection? Was it other drivers? No, it was my mind. Something was going on in my mind that made me anxious. There was another situation where I was at one of the most peaceful places on the planet. , I was at whole foods. I mean, whole foods is peaceful. And I was, I remember walking over to the checkout line. I had a basket full of groceries. I was going to checkout. And for some reason I became super anxious. Now it was not the whole foods that made me anxious. Dr. Dave: (02:32) It was not the cashier. It was not the other people in line. It was me. It was my problem. That's what caused the anxiety. Nothing at the whole foods caused me to be anxious. So the same thing, we're using magic mushrooms. It's when you're microdosing, think about it. If you start and if you're super afraid of this, I'm gonna recommend you start with 50 milligrams. It's a super, super, super low dose. Keep this in mind. There are people that use magic mushrooms. It take 100 times 50 milligrams and, and they survive and they're, and, and so that, so in other words, a five gram dose would be 100 times larger than what you're taking as 50 milligrams. It's not, it's not gonna make you anxious. It's inside of you thinking it's gonna make you anxious, which makes you anxious. If that makes sense. It's not the mushrooms. Dr. Dave: (03:23) A microdose is not going to bring out a 50 grand microdose is not gonna bring out all that anxiety.

Welcome back to Microdose U! Today Dr. Dave shares the meaning of time, both past and present, as learned from mushrooms. Microdosing Resource Page: https://davidmadow.com/your-microdosing-resource-page/ Transcript of today's show: Dr. Dave: (00:00) Hey there. I'm Dr. Dave, I got a great question from a viewer. Her name is Kathy Leno and Kathy Leno is asking me, she said, Dr. Dave, I'm wondering, has microdosing had an effect on how you see your past? Do you remember more things from the past? Do you think microdosing distorts your memories? Can you see things as they are, or is it kind of like sugarcoating things? I take that to me. I take that to mean, or is it sugarcoating things in the present? That's what I'm thinking. She's meaning there, but I'll address both anyway. She says, I hope you get what I mean. Thank you, Kathy Leno. , I absolutely understand what you mean, Kathy. Leino when you, when you ask this question in a comment on a previous video or somewhere where you asked it, , I immediately told you that it's a great question. Dr. Dave: (00:44) And I'm gonna go ahead and do a little video to answer the question cause I could, cause I not only answer you, but I think so many people would wanna know about this. So I think microdosing, I don't think, I know as for a fact, microdosing has made my past appear a lot clearer things that maybe I were hidden from me, things that were kind of like locked in the back of my brain somewhere, have all of a sudden kind of come out and are very vivid. Very, very clear. And I've actually, it's, it's funny that you asked this Kathleen, you know, because, , some of the videos I've done over the past month or so have, have been really clear on some of the things that have come outta my past. For example, the two main things I would say were, , my first marriage and, , becoming a dentist and going to dental school, it, for some reason, these things, these things are like popping out of my past and popping out of like hidden storage areas in my brain. Dr. Dave: (01:39) And they're telling me that, yeah, I was on some really, really strange paths in my past. It's not saying that I shouldn't have done these. It's not telling me anything, but it's, it's reminding me that it's kind of bringing them to the forefront of, and, and probably sharing with me why, , and helping me understand why I have had to go through so much traa in my life to get to where I am right now. And the microdosing has absolutely helped me, but, , Kathy Leino. Yeah, I think the, , memories and the things from the past are, are very, very clear. Like if you're like a really cool off topic example of something that just happened a couple days ago, , I was talking to my wife who happens to be from Japan and I do not speak fluent Japanese, but, but over the years of being with her, I've learned enough Japanese and I know enough phrases and things, but also because of my brain, I, I, if I don't use it every day, I forget a lot of it, but some words and some phrases just came outta my brain without even thinking the other day. Dr. Dave: (02:38) And I started talking to her at Japanese. Now I'm not fluent. I I'm not even close to fluent, but my point is, these are some things that she said to me many, many, many years ago, I tucked them away somewhere, have not used them in a long time. But for some reason, for some reason, all of a sudden, a couple days ago, I started speaking these Dr. Dave: (02:58) Words, Japanese, it came outta nowhere. I absolutely attribute the magic mushrooms and the microdosing to this. It kind of opens up pathways that maybe have been locked closed for a while and just brings things to the forefront. If that helps now, as far as sugarcoating memories or sugarcoating, even the present, , I think things like, , SSRIs and antidepressants and things like that, people call them happy pills for a reason because what they do, I think they have a tendency to nb your feelings an...

Dr. Dave, how are you today? I wanna share with you, , what it was like when I had, COVID just very recently and microdosing during COVID, after COVID, let's get right into it now. Thanks for being with me. , so I did have COVID for about two weeks and I felt lousy. I, I never felt like deathly ill. , you know, when COVID first started, if it was, you know, possibly even a death sentence or a hospital sentence, when you got COVID, everybody was super scared nowadays when you get it, it's kind of like, , it's like flu type symptoms, maybe even just, , a really bad cold or congestion. So what I had was, , it felt like a bad, like a bad cold, like cough, , a lot of congestion, very tired, , loss of appetite, , just stuff like that. Dr. Dave: (00:57) Just, I just had to do nothing basically for, for a couple weeks, but, , and, and, and I felt it would be not a good idea to try to micro dose during that time that I felt really bad, but maybe after about five or six days, five days, something like that, I started feeling better. So I figured I had, you know, I'd been 5, 6, 7 days without a microdose. I figured this might be a good time to slip a little microdose in which I did. And I remember the microdose feeling a little bit stronger than normal, and I didn't think much of it, and it wasn't really that big of a deal, but I definitely noticed that the microdose felt stronger. And I think I microdosed maybe a day or two after that, but then I had, and with the same, same thing that happened, it was, , it felt, it felt stronger, but then I had what we call like a rebound and it's kinda like, I felt the COVID was going away, but then it came back and it was like the total total was about two weeks. Dr. Dave: (02:03) So I kind of came from, , thought I was getting better back to the same symptoms, you know, just congestion, , you know, just not feeling well at all. Cough came back just the same old thing, fatigue. , and I did not microdose during that. Like when I felt lousy, I did not microdose at all, just zero. So then when I came out of it, finally, it was about two weeks later, probably more like even 15 days later from, from the fir from the very beginning. , I took a little bite off of a chocolate that I have here, and it's a, it's the chocolate is infused with, , albino P envi. So ape, which is a very strong strain, but it was, it's a two gram chocolate, but I just took like a little, little, little tiny nibble off of it. And I will tell you that little nibble sent me sailing. Dr. Dave: (03:01) It was very, very strong, very strong. And I had to, I remember I had to kind of just sit it out and wait it out. It wasn't, it wasn't like a uncomfortable feeling, except if I did close my eyes, it, it felt like just things were really, really, really weird. So I just, I just knew that, you know, if I just waited out, it'll be fine. And it was, it was totally fine. But what I'm trying to say is that, , if you do have COVID, , be very careful with your microdosing because from my experience, and only from my experience anecdotal not medical advice, remember that , , , it seems like the mushrooms magnify what's going on in your body, like not feeling well, feeling weird and, and they just take that and, and run with it, magnify it. So, , if I had to look back now and redo it, I personally probably would not have microdosed during COVID. Dr. Dave: (04:06) , the only thing is, so here's what I noticed though. So since, , my microdosing was, was very light during COVID and I skipped a lot. I did notice that towards the end and even when I finished with COVID and, , even up till a few days ago, I started feeling that little bit of, a little bit of a funk, like, like, like something was coming back a little bit. And, ,

New to microdosing? Check out our resource page at https://davidmadow.com/your-microdosing-resource-page/ Hello and welcome back to Microdose U. Dr. Dave has 100% quit Lexapro and he is ready to share his story! He credits microdosing psilocybin mushrooms to his success. Here is the complete transcript: Dr. Dave: (00:00) Hey guys, it's Dr. Dave and I am super excited to share with you today. I am officially off of Lexapro, 100% done, and I wanna share a little bit about my Lexapro journey and the feeling of Lexapro versus microdosing magic mushrooms or using magic mushrooms in general. And, , I want to, I probably do another video in the near future. Just being a little more specific and a little more descriptive, exactly like how I felt on Lexapro, how I felt on nothing and how I feel now on magic mushrooms. There's is definitely a very, very large difference in the three. And I'll share that with you probably in another video. I wanna make this a little bit on the shorter side today. It's kind of a celebrate celebratory. That's the word celebratory, , video about being off Alexa road. So I'll just tell you a little bit about my Lexapro journey now, for those of you that are not sure. Dr. Dave: (00:57) Lexapro is an S S R I selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, pharmaceutical drug. It is designed to, , combat or take care of, or mitigate depression and anxiety. And it does work well. I don't want to say that it doesn't work. I don't wanna say that it's a bad drug. It's, it's actually a good drug. When I first started Lexapro probably about, I don't, I'm just guessing that probably about a year and a half, , to two years ago, something like that. , I started because of anxiety and depression and I started on 10 milligrams and the 10 milligrams worked. Okay. But not as well as I thought it should have. And there were still some days that I had to supplement some, , benzodiazepine, some, some, , Vali with it because I felt too anxious and, and, or too depressed or something so that I needed something to help with the anxi mainly the anxiety. Dr. Dave: (01:54) I think, , I went up to 15 milligrams for a while. That was better, but not as good as I thought it should be. So ultimately I went up to 20 milligrams per day of Lexapro and stayed there for quite some time. It was working well. I was off of my, I didn't have to take, , benzodiazepines at all. It was just the Lexapro. I, I felt pretty darn good every day, but I felt I could do better. I felt there that wasn't really a long term solution for me, because quite honestly, I did not wanna be on Lexapro the rest of my life. And that would be that's the only option cuz once you get off of it, you return to the way you were. It's just, it's, it's something that works while you're on it only, it's not like a cure. It doesn't, it doesn't cure your depression or anxiety. So that's when I learned about microdosing and I kind of got into the world of microdosing magic mushrooms and I started when I started microdosing magic mushrooms, I was on the Lexapro at the same time. It would be kind of, , irresponsible, I think to just say, I'm gonna get off my Lexapro. Totally. And then try something else. I wanted to try them both at the same time. And as long as you're doing that Dr. Dave: (02:58) Again, as long as you're doing that responsibly, I don't think there's a problem there at all with serotonin syndrome or anything like that. Again, this is not medical advice. This is my own personal experience, but it worked very well for me. As soon as I got on the microdosing of magic mushrooms, my body started feeling totally different to the point where I was able to get off blood pressure medication. I was able to totally throw out all of the, all of the benzos that I had because there was no use for them anymore. I never had to use them again, but I was still taking Lexapro at the same time that I was microdosing, but it got to the point where I said to myself,

Welcome back to Microdose U. Today Dr. Dave shares a story that he has never shared with anyone before. And as scary as it was at the time, he is happy to report that things are much better now! Microdosing Resource Page: https://davidmadow.com/your-microdosing-resource-page/ Here is the complete transcript to today's show: Dr. Dave: (00:00) Hey, how are you? I'm Dr. Dave, in case you don't know me, I've been doing a whole bunch of videos on, uh, how microdosing psilocybin or magic mushrooms have saved my life basically. And about two years ago, almost to the day I was sitting in this exact location here, I'm at east canyon, state park in Utah. And, um, right now I feel great, but two years ago, I really thought that was pretty much the end. I thought it was gonna be dying. I was going, I had a really horrible anxiety attack on the way here. See, it's about, it's about an hour and 15 minutes away from salt lake city. So not really a long drive, but for some reason, as my wife and I are driving along the road, driving our little van, um, I got like an anxiety attack. And by the time we got to the campground, I was loading myself up with Valium and, and whatever else I could find. Dr. Dave: (00:46) Cause it, I was like a disaster. I, I really thought this could be it. I, I don't know why I had an anxiety attack. I was going through a tough time where I had a lot of anxiety, definitely some depression, um, insomnia, high blood pressure. I was, I felt like I was injured all the time. Just my body didn't feel right. I was just tired. And my psoriasis was getting worse. Psoriasis is an autoimmune skin disease. You probably know that was getting worse and worse. And I was just, I was trying to do every single thing I could, along with my doctors to get me out of this weird funk, which I didn't even know what it was. It was the weirdest thing that ever happened in my life. I've always been super healthy in my life. And for some reason, two years ago, I just started like going really, really downhill. Dr. Dave: (01:31) It was just, it was really, really horrible. I was doing some talk therapy, um, that talk therapy, I think I'll, I'll, I'll talk about that in a second, but that's, I, I think it's for somebody going through something that I was going through and possibly if you're going through something, um, it's, it's really, really slow. I'm not saying talk therapy doesn't work, but it could take, it could take decades to really work. Right. And well, and I still, I'm still not like a tremendous fan of talk therapy, totally turning somebody's life around. I think it has to be in conjunction with other things. I decided that my life was pretty much on the line and I had to get myself out of this funk or whatever was going on with my health, because if I didn't do anything, if I didn't become like my own doctor, if I didn't become like totally, totally proactive and maybe not even listen to all the doctors, because they don't really know everything. Dr. Dave: (02:22) Um, they know a lot, but they don't know everything that's going on. Especially like with my body. I'm the one that lives in it and can feel it every single day. So I had to, I had to kind of take action and be proactive, and I really went on a, um, mission to save my life. So what did I do? What did I do to start to feel better? Well, the very first thing is I quit my job. I felt that I had been running my business for over 30 years. I kind of had enough. And, and, and I really think my business or what I was doing on a, on a regular basis, which was doing a lot of traveling Dr. Dave: (02:59) To speak to different groups on stage and, and, uh, coaching and consulting and just all kind of things like that. It, it was finally start just to get to me. So I, I, I said to myself, I said, I've gotta, I've gotta take a sabbatical. I've gotta just stop working at least for a while to see what happens with my health, because I'll tell you something,

Hey welcome back to Microdose U. Today Dr. Dave talks about how psilocybin has helped his insomnia. Microdosing Resource Page: https://davidmadow.com/your-microdosing-resource-page/ Here is the complete transcript to today's show: Dr. Dave: (00:00) Hey, who wants to sleep with me? Well, hold, hold that. You might think that's click bait, but it's really not because this video I'm gonna do today, I'm gonna share with you how to get your best night's sleep ever. So many people have shared with me, either in the comments section or emailing me that they're having a tough time sleeping insomnia, whether it means they can't get to sleep or you wake up in the middle of the night, you can't get back to sleep. I'll tell you something. Sleep is one of the most important things you can do for your health. And if you're not sleeping well, it is going to chip away your health, perhaps more than anything else out there. So, um, in this video today, I'll share with you how I dealt with my insomnia, how I finally, um, I think cured it because I'm sleeping through the night, every night now sleeping through the night. Dr. Dave: (00:48) That means not even getting up to go to the bathroom, which is very unusual for somebody my age. I used to get up two to three times every night to use the bathroom. Now I sleep like a baby through the night. So here's what I have done. First of all, I got tested for obstructive sleep apnea. And as it turned out, I have obstructive sleep apnea, which means, um, I use a C P a P every night to sleep. And it's probably the best thing I've ever done other than magic mushrooms. Of course, um, the best thing I've ever done in my life to get a good night's sleep and to sleep healthy and to, to make sure that I'm, I'm getting the right amount of oxygen every night, um, obstructive sleep apnea or any type of sleep apnea is potentially very, very serious. And a lot of cases, many CA most cases go undiagnosed. Dr. Dave: (01:42) Now I'm not telling you that you have obstructive sleep apnea. I have no way of knowing, but I will tell you this, if you don't sleep well, if you're tired during the day, if you fall asleep easily during the day, sometimes if you have high blood pressure, if you've experienced, um, anxiety, depression, if you snore, these could be signs that you have obstructive sleep at me. Now, again, I, there's no way I can diagnose this over a video, but, um, if there's a chance, um, especially if you are on the heavier side and you've got like a thicker neck, but that's, again, people that are very thin have obstructive sleep ABNE as well. Um, I would recommend at, at the very least bringing it up to your doctor, make sure your doctor is well versed on this type of stuff. And perhaps having a sleep test, it absolutely could save your life. So that's the first thing again, I wanted to throw that out there because it's, it's, it is very possible. Many of you watching have sleep apnea that just don't know about it. And that's, that's a very dangerous thing. So let's go on with, how do you sleep better through the night? How do you, how do you sleep go sleep right away and how do you sleep like a baby through the night? Well, first of all, I'm assuming that you're doing all the things that everybody knows about Dr. Dave: (02:58) The proper sleep hygiene, things. In other words, don't drink anything with, uh, caffeine AFF caffeinated beverages, um, past, I would say 1:00 PM, something like that, maybe even noon, 1:00 PM stay away from the caffeine. If you're having a tough time sleeping, don't take in caffeine in any way I would recommend if possible, not taking a nap during the day, or if you take a nap, time it to no more than 30 minutes. Because if you're napping during the day, it's going to be more difficult for you to sleep at night. I would also recommend that you move your body, maybe move your body more than you're moving it. Now, the more exercise you get,

Welcome back to Microdose U! Today Dr. Dave answers the question "Will mushrooms repair a toxic relationship?" Tune in as we dive into the answers! Microdosing Resource Page: https://davidmadow.com/your-microdosing-resource-page/ Here is the complete transcript to today's show: (00:00) Can magic mushrooms fix a bad relationship. I'm gonna give you the answer right now, actually in a couple seconds. I'm Dr. Dave, I wanna introduce myself for those of you that are new to me and I'm on a morning hike, um, just, uh, around salt lake city, actually it's called the living room hike and it's a great hike. It's a good thing to get up early in the morning and do this. It's about 1.1 little over one mile up. It's about a thousand foot vertical, so you're gonna feel it. But once you get up here, you're gonna reap the rewards. So, okay. Um, can, can magic mushrooms repair a bad relationship, whether it's boyfriend, girlfriend, whether it's, it doesn't really matter the genders at all, whether it's, uh, spouses, whatever. Um, my answer's gonna probably surprise you a little bit. I'm gonna say, unless both parties are very serious and willing to get into the work that needs to be done to repair a relationship. (00:55) I'm gonna say the answer is no, what they will do for you, though, they will help you realize that you are in a bad relationship, something that's toxic and you need to get out of it. That is if you've tried everything that needs to be tried to, to, to make things better. Um, but I was in, uh, my first marriage was 23 years long and the last 10 to 11 years of it were, were really, really bad. And, and I really wish I would've had magic mushrooms around to help guide me through the work that needed to be done to not only fixing it because fixing it was, um, I found, I figured it was impossible. Now it took me a long, long, long time to figure that fixing figure out that fixing was impossible. Um, the mushrooms would've helped me probably within several months or, or sooner realize how bad the situation was and to get out of it. (01:46) So if you are in a toxic relationship, I will tell you that. Um, and this is without even having you do magic mushrooms to figure this out, I would say, you need to get out and you need to get out now. No waiting. No, let's see how things go. Let's see if things get better. No, you know, in your heart, you know, in your heart, if things are not going well, and in a very decent percentage of relationships, people are just kind of waiting through, get going through the motions, hoping that things get better. Fig saying to themselves, this is what life is. You know, it's not perfect, but you know something I'm here to tell you that is total. The reason I can tell you this confidently is because I've been through it all. I have been through this and trying to make the best out of a toxic relationship is going to get you nowhere, except for, uh, depression, anxiety, bad feelings every day are almost every day. Maybe not every day, but almost every day. And, and it's not gonna work and you're gonna reach an old age and you're gonna pretty much look in the mirror and you're gonna say, what in the did I do? Why did (02:58) I, why did I go through this? Why didn't I get out of this? When I was younger, when I could, when I was more vibrant, when I could have found somebody else or found another direction in my life, I'm telling you guys gals, get with the program. I just actually was coaching somebody recently. And he, within the past few weeks, he messaged me and said, Dave, you saved my life. And that made me feel really good. But if also FA made me feel really bad, the toxicity that this person was going through, and he didn't really see the forest from the trees and didn't know what needed to be done, where it was very, very clear to me once I not only told him that, but pretty much, uh, made him, uh, become responsible for his actions as responsible for his life. Uh, he,

https://davidmadow.com/your-microdosing-resource-page/ Welcome back to Microdose U! Today Dr. Dave shares something that most people never think of as fas as microdosing magic mushrooms. But they have helped him incredibly with this. Tune in to find out! Here is the entire transcript: Dr. Dave: (00:00) Hey there, Dr. Dave, back with you. And on this show, I share how microdosing magic mushrooms or psilocybin mushrooms has totally, totally changed my life around. And this morning, I'm just thinking about something, um, really cool. That it's helped me with that I wanted to share with you a little bit today. Um, so okay. In the past and I'm I'm right now, I am in my psychedelic van, which we will be traveling around, um, the Western part of the country coming up pretty soon. And I'll share it with you, let you know, and if you're around, if we can meet up in the van, that will be pretty darn cool. Wouldn't it. In the meantime, let's get back to the subject for today. Um, so in the past, I I've always been like a little bit of a worrier, I would say warrior, w O R R I E R worry, not warrior, but warrior . Dr. Dave: (00:52) Um, and one of the things I would, I mean, I worried about a lot of things. A lot of things would get to me, but one of the things I would worry about, um, would be financial stuff in, in particular things that maybe I couldn't even control now, I've got a really good financial plan in place and I stick to it and I'm really good about that type of stuff. But for example, let's say, um, the stock market started crashing or even not even crashing, but just going down. I would, I would start to worry and I would start to become anxious and I would start to get upset because I'd have all these scenarios in my mind, like, oh my God, I'm gonna be homeless. Um, things are gonna go to zero. I'm not gonna have any money. I'm, I'm not gonna be able to put food on the table. Dr. Dave: (01:31) I mean, all these really weird scenarios would go through my mind. Um, but, and, and, and the thing is though the stock market and personal finance, it, you know, you, you do the best you can, but I can't control the stock market. And over time, what happens is it always goes up. It then has periods where it will go down, but then it'll go up again. And, and the net sum of it going up is much greater than going down. That's why the stock market always, you know, if you look at it over time, it's always like up, up, up, probably like a little down then up, up, up more the little down and during the downs, I would always get anxious and, and start to think that I can't, I can't go out to dinner tonight. I can't, I can't buy my wife a gift. I can't do this and that to, because the stock market's crashing. So a totally unrealistic, totally not even reasonable, because again, I have no control over it and it's just not true. It goes down, but then it always comes back up. Since I have been using magic mushrooms, microdosing magic mushrooms, um, there's been a much greater feeling of peace and calmness inside of me, even when the stock market tumbles, like, for example, as I'm recording this, it's early May, 2022 and this past week, or even the past few weeks have been Dr. Dave: (02:59) Just awful. I mean, really awful. The, the, like, I think Friday, the stock market, the, the Dow went down like over a thousand points. Now in the past, that would put me in a panic. I would, I'd be off worried, anxious all of the above and a lot more now, since I've been, you know, working on myself and working on my body and my mind and everything. And of course using the magic mushrooms to microdose, I, it doesn't, it doesn't bother me. I mean, I'm realizing that, and I, I realized this all before. It's not like, I, it's not, like, I didn't know it, but, but now the fact that it goes down, it crashes, whatever. That's kind of what I say, you know, whatever it's, it's gonna be, okay, it's gonna come back.

davidmadow.com Hey all, welcome back to MICRODOSE U. Today I am sharing exactly how I microdose. Please enjoy this episode. And remember, you can watch the video versions of these podcast episodes by going to https://youtube.com/c/rundrdave Here is the complete transcript: Dr. Dave: (00:00) Okay. Hey there, Dr. Dave, back with you. Um, this could be one of the most important videos I've ever made on microdosing, magic mushrooms, psilocybin. Um, I get so many questions, the most popular ones being, um, how much do I take? What's my dosage. How often do I take it? How long do I have to take it? Those are probably the most common questions. So even though I've done videos on this before, I wanna go ahead and consolidate all the information into one video that you can watch and rewatch and bookmark and make and refer back to it anytime you want, because it's really important because I'm getting, um, as much as I think I've answered a lot of these questions, I'm getting them over and over and over again. So let's make this, the video that explains everything. Now, I'm going by my experience and also other people that I've talked to in the community quite a bit. Dr. Dave: (00:49) Um, one thing to keep in mind though, everybody is different. That's why, if you're first starting, I'm going to give you a, um, dosage and schedule that should work out for you, even though keeping in mind, everybody is different. Now it seems like the most common reason, at least people that are asking me about microdosing, the most common reason that you want to microdose is because of depression and anxiety is a very, very close second. And a lot of times they're, they're actually related. Um, sometimes you have one with the other and vice versa because they kind of go together. It's, it's very common to have depression and anxiety together, so, okay. Let's get started first. I'm gonna talk about dosing, how much you actually take each time you take it, then I'm gonna talk about how often you need to do this. And then I'm also gonna then after that, I'm gonna talk about how long you need to do this. Dr. Dave: (01:41) So in other words, is it, is it something you just do for a few months then stop? Is it something you do for years for the rest of your life? We'll talk about all of that. So let's get going right now. Okay. So dosing, how much do you start with, if you've never microdosed magic mushrooms before I'm going to recommend starting off with a dose. And when I talk about magic mushrooms, I'm talking about dried ground up mushrooms generally kind of, we talk about, I talk about the, um, Cubis strain, which is kind of like one of the more common ones that people are using for, for microdosing. Um, okay. So how much do you start with, I'm gonna recommend between 50 and 100 milligrams. Now you need to know the metric system a little bit, because sometimes people talk about that in grams and 50 gram, 50 milligrams, 50 milligrams is 0.05 grams. 100 milligrams is 0.1 grams. So all you need to do is move that decimal place, like three points over, and you're gonna convert from milligrams to grams and vice versa, grams to milligrams. Just go the other way. Um, it's not, it's not that difficult, although it can be overwhelming to a lot of people that are not really used to the metric system. If you've never microdosed Dr. Dave: (02:59) Before.

I found myself in a terrible funk a couple of years ago. After spending time with a psychiatrist for over 18 months, taking medication, going to talk therapy, watching my blood pressure increase, having anxiety attacks, I asked him if I should try microdosing magic mushrooms. The rest is history!

So yesterday I took 1.1g of psilocybin magic mushrooms. This is considered to be more than a microdose. Some call it a "museum dose." I explain in today's show how they made me feel. I will say that this medicine has done more for my anxiety and depression in seven months than anything else I have done over decades has done. And I emphasize "medicine." I am NOT using psilocybin as a party drug. This is serious medicine, even though it is not legal at the moment and considered Schedule I by the DEA.
