👏🏻

Hi- I haven’t posted daily updates because it felt important to allow myself enough time to draw material insights from the subtle shifts in consciousness I’ve experienced over the past few days of microdosing 🍄🍄‍🟫 So, without further ado, here are my day 3-6 insights: - the largest shifts remain the same as days 1&2: increased mental clarity, elevated mood, experiencing deeper connection to and presence within my environment, yet more detached from passing thoughts and emotions - I’m experiencing a subtly stronger connection to subconscious / God / spirituality, find myself focusing on it more & praying with ease, God feels like a more material part of my daily life — which I love. Im highly spiritual by nature & have felt a connection with a higher power since a young age. Lost it a bit due to mental health stuff yada yada but feels gratifying to feel like its natural to lean in - I feel more in control of how I respond to irritants and stressors. I feel an increased ability to maintain agency over my responses to my external environment - _significantly_ decreased PMDD symptoms leading up to my period which I’m so thankful for 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 those who live with pmdd will seriously benefit from this and it gives me hope. I will likely start microdosing during my luteal phase every month and tracking my symptoms. This part of my cycle is when I experience the greatest difficulty in maintaining healthy relationships with my mind & body bc of hormonal shifts that lead to extreme anxiety and depression. I feel like I’m cracking a code for integrated health intervention for pmdd and I’m pumped about it ⭐️overall I feel more authentically myself with just a subtle .1 mg of psilocybin in my system for the past 6 days. I feel more connected to my purpose, my environment, and the low time preference values I hope to lead my life with Looking forward to continuing the experience - I’m considering altering the dosage slightly after this 10 day round ends this weekend so will post about that if so

Microdosing day ✌🏼insights, I woke up feeling pretty low energy. Lethargic and foggy from the second I woke up. My body felt heavy as I walked my dog a few blocks. I took the .1 cap of psilocybin & a lions mane cap on an empty stomach, made breakfast, did virtual therapy, and within two hours I felt significantly more mentally clear, energetic, and overall in a more gratifying mood. This could be correlated to the mushrooms or the fact that my body had a few hours to turn on the engine. Either way not complaining about the turn around I decided to read 10 pages of the Bitcoin Standard everyday while I’m doing this. I’ve been picking it up, reading a few chapters, and trading in for a psychology book that is more my speed for a few months. Buuuut I challenged myself to finish it while on the microdose regimen bc I want to learn and it could be an interesting experience to assess I’m about halfway through the book and it’s the first time I’ve ever taken notes while reading. I was able to connect the dots more clearly between concepts relating to the economic impact of national currency & the current mental health epidemic and “toxic society” founded on loneliness, high time preferences, and trauma that I read about in Gabor mate’s most recent book. Again, could’ve been a placebo but making neural connections b/w new & old data felt more seamless today Other than that just a normal day, no material difference in my somatic processing or perception of surroundings (as expected given low dose and antidepressant suppression)

Microdosing day ☝🏻 insights.. As expected, nothing earth shattering happened today. I woke up, walked my dog, showered, did Breathwork, prayed, set an intention for the next month, and took my first .1 capsule. I’m in the luteal phase of my menstrual cycle (5 days out from my period) and as someone with premenstrual dysphoric disorder, that means chaos. Quick to tears/heightened sensitivity, irritability, decreased capacity to regulate emotions, decreased sense of self worth. It’s a party in my body right now 🥳 in all seriousness, I’m used to this as I experience it for a week out of the month, every month. With this, i’m taking it easy today. I went to the park with my dog and read a little bit. Grounded with the grass. Took a nap. Resting & being. My best friend is making me dinner tonight to keep me company because @dylan is out of the country for a few weeks. I’m hopeful that after a few days of microdosing, I might start to notice material improvements in my mood and relationship with my mind-body as I navigate the next week of PMDD symptoms. Will be taking the caps for the next 10 days, will take 5 days off to integrate, and then another 10 day cycle. Honestly no idea what to expect but I am hopeful and excited!

Day 1 of microdose regimen starts tomorrow. Gonna use primal as my personal diary as I go. Stay tuned 🕺🏻❤️

Top 5 Coachella sets I saw this weekend in my opinion as someone who went in with 0 expectations, 1. Tyler the Creator 2. J Balvin 3. Gesaffelstein 4. Everything Always 5. Grimes bc the meltdown was iconic

Re last post, she was a well-intentioned doctor and I wasn’t upset that her thoughts patterns automatically led her to prescribing more medication without listening to me - it’s all she knows. However, I made it clear that I was literally THERE to decrease my medication. Doctors need to develop critical thinking and empathy skills when working with patients. Our health is the most important thing we have and we must be able to trust those who are responsible for it. It was just another example of feeling unheard, unseen, and like a # to the system. 🍅 🍅 🍅

Re last post - the fact that we’re in a place to offer psilocybin as medicine makes me so proud of all the pioneers in the psychiatry space. They knew the power of psychedelic assisted therapy and didn’t give up when the FDA shut down their work in the 70’s because they were scared of people being free minded. From 1970-present doctors have been following every procedural step, by the books, so no one (aka the gov) can stop them in getting this medicine into the hands of our people.

The intersection between sound money and sound health must be adequately addressed for humans to continue to evolve. There’s a mental health epidemic rooted in distrust, isolation, and moral corruption. It’s more imperative than ever before that we return to the basics and remember how humans have thrived evolutionarily. We need courageous people to step up and help us remember who we are. We’re here to connect, create, and support each other in creating a more promising future for the future of our species. That’s why #nostr is so exciting to me. That’s why #bitcoin is so exciting to me. That’s why #breathwork is so exciting to me. The most complex questions often require the simplest of solutions. The answer is each other. Fix the money, fix our health. #mentalhealth #bitcoin #decentralization
