Thinking about trying a GLP-1 but not sure if you need a full dose? What exactly is microdosing, and does it really work? In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Tyna Moore to talk about GLP-1s, microdosing, weight loss, muscle loss, menopause, hormone replacement therapy, and what's next for peptide therapy.
You cannot open your phone anymore without hearing about Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound, retatrutide, and before-and-after transformations. One person says GLP-1s are the greatest thing ever. Another says they are going to destroy your health. As usual, the truth is somewhere in the middle. In this episode, I break down GLP-1s specifically through the lens of perimenopause and menopause, because midlife women are dealing with a completely different metabolic landscape. Estrogen is changing. Muscle is easier to lose. Insulin sensitivity may be shifting. Sleep is falling apart. Belly fat is showing up where it never used to. And simply telling a woman to eat less and exercise more is not a strategy. We talk about where GLP-1s can be incredibly useful, why HRT and GLP-1s are not interchangeable, and why protecting muscle has to be one of your top priorities if you are using these medications. I also get into dosing, microdosing, appetite suppression, thyroid and hormone optimization, realistic weight-loss rates, and why the goal should never be to get as skinny as possible as fast as possible. The goal is to lose fat while preserving muscle, supporting hormones, improving metabolic health, and having an actual plan for what happens after the weight comes off. In this episode, we cover: Why menopause changes fat distribution and increases abdominal fat for many women How declining estrogen, muscle loss, sleep, and insulin resistance affect midlife weight How GLP-1 medications work beyond simple appetite suppression Why GLP-1s are not "cheating" Why GLP-1 therapy does not replace HRT Whether HRT and GLP-1s can be used together Why muscle loss is one of the biggest concerns with GLP-1 use Why protein and resistance training matter so much Why having no appetite does not mean your dose is perfect Microdosing versus standard GLP-1 dosing Why increasing your dose too quickly can backfire What a realistic rate of weight loss can look like The importance of thyroid and hormone optimization when weight loss stalls Why maintenance needs to be part of the plan from day one Who This Episode Is For This episode is for women in perimenopause and menopause who are considering a GLP-1, already taking one, or wondering whether these medications could help with stubborn midlife weight gain. It is especially for women who want to lose fat without sacrificing muscle, energy, hormones, bone health, or long-term metabolic health. If you are confused by the microdosing hype, worried about muscle loss, unsure whether you should do HRT or a GLP-1 first, or wondering why your weight loss has stalled even though you are taking medication, this episode is for you.

What if better injectable results aren't about using more product—but using the right amount in exactly the right place? In this episode of The Plastic Surgery Revolution, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Steven Davis takes the increasingly familiar concept of “microdosing” and applies it to facial aesthetics. Dr. Davis explains how small, strategically placed amounts of filler can be used across different areas of the face to address asymmetry, restore proportion, and create a more balanced result. Rather than focusing on a single feature in isolation, the goal is to consider how every treatment fits the face as a whole. That distinction becomes particularly important in the age of Instagram before-and-after photos. Beautiful lips, cheeks, or other features on one patient may not produce the same result on another. Facial structure, proportions, existing volume, asymmetry, and individual anatomy all matter. Dr. Davis breaks his injectable philosophy down to three fundamentals: the proper product, the proper location, and the proper amount. He also discusses why copying an aesthetic result from a photograph can sometimes lead to features that look technically well-treated but out of proportion with the rest of the face. The takeaway? Modern injectables should be less about chasing a particular feature and more about creating balance that works for the individual patient. Listen to this episode of The Plastic Surgery Revolution for Dr. Davis' perspective on microdosing fillers, facial balancing, asymmetry, and why restraint can be one of the most important tools in aesthetic medicine.
Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions: Amanda: I am perimenopausal and struggle with sleep, ADHD, and anxiety (among other things). I would like to use cannabis (where legal) to help with my sleep struggles, anxiety, and ADHD symptoms. Is THC, in any form, considered a valuable supplement? Anonymous: Good morning doctor, always looking forward to your "ask cabral" Housecall podcast every weekend. Been doing research on the gut-liver connection, an interesting study correlated gut dysbiosis with hepato-carcinoma. I know you dont provide health/medical advice. But if someone, hypothetically speaking, wanted to address the root cause of an (unknown) liver mass (biopsy results pending), with elevated liver enzymes.. Could the CBO protocol work. if not.. what foods can optimize the gut. Currently using Cermonial Organic Matcha green tea, Mediterrian diet (EVOO).. melatonin. Any other good ones? Thanks P.S thanks for introducing me to the wonders of Sulforaphane (broccoli sprouts)! Struggling in Texas: Hi! I did allergy testing at the allergist: no foods but SO MANY environmentally. Grasses, trees, molds, cockroaches….what direction do I go? My dr said shots but don't love that thought. I have to do something because we have allergens year round and I constantly have so much inflammation from it. Thank you! Elizabeth: Hello Dr. Cabral! I wanted to know what your thoughts are on microdosed Gummies that contain CBD and THC? So thankful for you and for your teaching. Vicky: I'm so thankful to have discovered you Dr. Cabral- appreciate your generosity + support for all of us out here pursuing wellness. Do you know what causes people to smell smoke when there isn't any? It had gone away for months, since I started down your protocol roadmap actually, but recently a cold turned into the sinus infection (which it often does) and the smoke smell is back on and off again. So far I've completed all protocols before mold, and half of mold. Mold detox put my immune system under a lot of stress which contributed to my getting a sinus infection for the first time since starting my detox journey. I have many system issues like many of the people you help - nervous, hormonal (neurotransmitters), immune, and digestive to name a few. Can't wait to hear what you know!

I'm a biohacker with a peptide fridge, and right now I am injecting absolutely nothing. That is probably not what you expected me to say. The internet makes it look like the goal is more compounds, stacked higher, forever. It is not. The goal is to use the right tool for a specific window, then come off it. In this solo episode I open my actual fridge. I walk through every peptide I have run recently, the real dose, why it went in, why it came out, and why I am on a full break right now. I cover my injury repair pair BPC-157 and TB-500, my body composition experiments with AOD-9604 and a Retatrutide microdose, my beauty and longevity layer with GHK-Cu and NAD nasal spray, and my brain and mood pair Selank and Semax. Then I explain why I am cycled off everything, and how to build your own stack for a female body instead of copying mine. This is my personal experience for education, not medical advice, and peptides are provider territory.

Psychedelics can expand your consciousness in a way most people can't imagine. My guest is Dr. Chloe West, a PhD neuroscientist who's been researching psychedelics for nearly a decade and is now writing a book on psychedelics and religious trauma. Dr. Chloe explains what happens in the brain during a trip, from increased entropy to disorganized activity in the default mode network. Her framing of the brain as clay, where plasticity softens it, and the trip itself guides how it gets reshaped, is one of the clearest explanations I've heard. We get into the REBUS model and one finding that stopped me: the research doesn't actually show that psychedelics reliably turn atheists into believers, even though people will swear otherwise. Beliefs about the self, however, are another story. Her personal story is where this conversation deepens. Chloe grew up in evangelical Christianity in the South, walked away from it in graduate school, and is now researching how psychedelics might offer something the deconstruction space has been missing: a tool for reconstruction. She describes someone close to her who spent years praying out of fear, and after psychedelics only wanted to pray out of gratitude. That single shift, from fear to gratitude, is what many therapeutic outcomes seem to rest on. You'll learn: [0:00] Introduction [3:41] Psychedelics as the fastest method for rewiring rigid beliefs [7:57] Defining consciousness, and whether psychedelics can really expand it [17:30] Predictive processing turns your brain into a protection machine working against you [23:08] Why integration matters and how set and setting predict a bad trip [27:33] Eli Lilly's $3.8 billion DMT bet and why both political sides embrace psychedelics [37:49] Growing up evangelical and using psychedelics to heal religious trauma [50:21] Microdosing versus heroic doses, and the new psychedelics that skip the trip [57:32] Finding your default state of consciousness through silent retreats and breathwork [1:05:56] Which psychedelic calls to Chloe most, and the mystery of ayahuasca's plant intelligence Resources Mentioned: Sky Breath Meditation | Website Art of Living Retreat Center | Website For weekly essays on psychedelics, consciousness, and belief, join Dr. Chloe West's Substack here, or follow her on social media to stay connected.

Some people are injecting a fraction of the standard dose of weight loss drugs and hoping to still receive the benefits, but many are doing so without any medical oversight and there could be risks. Makers of the drugs say they don't condone people modifying how they use their products. Health journalist Katie Silver speaks to Claudia Hammond about why some people are choosing to microdose these weight loss drugs. With wildfires spreading across Western Europe, North Africa and Canada, Claudia is joined by BBC Health Reporter Laura Foster to discuss recent studies into the impacts wildfires can have on our health. Claudia and Laura also talk about new research into fertility and pregnancy loss as well as asking, are we consuming too much protein? And it is increasingly clear that multiple sclerosis (MS) is linked to Epstein-Barr virus infections, but can we use that knowledge to stop the progression of MS? Claudia speaks with Michael Levy, associate professor at Harvard Medical School and neuroimmunologist at the Massachusetts General Hospital, to understand if viral treatments could halt this disease and why this common virus can cause such severe immune responses in a few individuals.

Welcome to a very special month here on Call IT in With Dar. This August marks seven incredible years since I nervously pressed the record button for my very first podcast episode. I had no idea that one simple "yes" would grow into a community of listeners from across the United States and around the world. Together, we've laughed, cried, learned, healed, and explored what I like to call heartset, mindset, and soulset living—because when those three come into alignment, life begins to change from the inside out. To celebrate this anniversary, I'm counting down the three most downloaded episodes of the past year. Today we're kicking things off with #3, and I think you'll quickly hear why listeners connected with this conversation. Whether this is your first time hearing it or you're listening again with fresh ears, I hope it encourages and inspires you. And before we begin, I have a little announcement. Starting in September, Call IT in With Dar will move from weekly episodes to every other week, giving me even more time to bring you meaningful conversations that nourish your heart, your mind, and your soul. Now...let's begin our anniversary countdown. Calling in number 3 ….call It in with Dar Plant-Based Medicine with Kayse GehretWelcome back to the show, friends. Today we're diving into one of the most fascinating and rapidly growing areas in the healing world — plant-based medicine — and how it's helping women (and men) reconnect with their bodies, emotions, and purpose in profound ways. My guest, Kayse Gehret, is one of the most highly regarded and sought-after guides for what she calls “The Medicine of the Moment” — the practice of Microdosing Earth Medicine. Kayse founded Microdosing for Healing in 2020, building on a three-decade career in the healing arts. Since then, her platform, program, and global community have supported more than 1,200 individuals from all walks of life in using microdosing as a tool for emotional healing, creativity, and spiritual connection. She's also the host of the Microdosing for Healing Podcast and leads the Microdosing Professional Program, a mentorship and mastermind for wellness professionals who want to integrate this sacred practice into their work. In our conversation, we'll explore how microdosing differs from traditional plant medicine ceremonies, what's happening in the brain and body during this subtle practice, and how this movement is changing the landscape of modern healing. So settle in, open your heart, and get ready to explore the gentle — yet powerful — world of microdosing.

Dr. Mike Hart welcomes Ksenia Petrushkina back for a wide-ranging conversation about using hormones, GLP-1 medications, and peptides more thoughtfully. They explore why lower, individualized doses of tirzepatide may improve tolerability, which blood markers should be monitored during treatment, and how progesterone may support sleep through its effects on GABA. They also discuss women's hormone replacement therapy, personalized testosterone dosing, TRT and fertility, thyroid treatment, low-dose naltrexone, and the difference between evidence-based peptide use and exaggerated online claims. Ksenia Petrushkina is a clinician whose work focuses on hormone optimization, peptide therapy, metabolic health, and highly individualized treatment. Through comprehensive blood testing, symptom assessment, careful dose adjustments, and ongoing patient monitoring, she helps men and women better understand how hormones, medications, and peptides may affect their energy, sleep, inflammation, fertility, body composition, and long-term health. Her approach challenges standardized protocols and social-media biohacking trends, emphasizing personalized medicine, responsible prescribing, and evaluating one intervention at a time.

She helped spark one of the biggest health conversations of the last few years—but according to Dr. Tyna Moore, the internet completely lost the plot. The naturopathic and chiropractic doctor, metabolic health expert, and host of The Dr. Tyna Show joins us to unpack what she originally meant by "microdosing" GLP-1 medications, why severe side effects may be a sign that a dose isn't right for you, and how a nuanced conversation turned into a billion-dollar industry. Emese also shares her own experience taking Zepbound, leading to an honest discussion about whether GLP-1s are forever, who may benefit from them, and why lifestyle changes still matter. Plus, Dr. Tyna explains why your metabolism probably isn't broken, the lab markers she looks at first, how chronic stress changes your body, and why strength training is non-negotiable for women as we age. If you've ever wondered whether GLP-1s are right for you—or felt confused by the endless noise online—this episode brings the conversation back to center. A Sony Music Entertainment production.

In this episode, Tina sits down with perimenopause weight loss coach Kayla Johnson to unpack why so many women in midlife are struggling with metabolic health and why microdosing a GLP-1 may be the missing piece for some. Kayla breaks down what's actually happening in your body during this stage of life, so you can make informed decisions that support both your health and how you feel day to day. Here's what you'll learn: - Kayla was doing everything "right," so why did perimenopause hit her so hard? - The dementia research that made Kayla completely change her mind about GLPs - Why so many women call GLPs a "shortcut" when it might be their smartest move - The one responsibility nobody mentions before you start peptides - What microdosing actually does to your muscle - The sourcing mistake that can ruin your whole GLP experience - Why doing GLPs alone is risky, and what coaching changes - GLPs done right vs. GLPs gone wrong "GLPs are too expensive."

Entrepreneur and Certified Fitness coach who's passionate about helping women 35+ take back their energy, metabolism and confidence. As the founder of KJF Academy, I help women in perimenopause stop guessing and start following a proven, strategic approach to fat loss, strength, and hormone support. Because this phase of life? It's not the time to work harder—it's the time to work smarter. After coaching hundreds of women through the exact challenges you're facing, I've created a system that actually works with your body, not against it.
Are you experiencing subtle changes in sleep, mood, or resilience and wondering if it could be perimenopause? In this episode of Beauty Bytes, I am joined by Dr. Jessica Shepherd, a board-certified gynecologist, Chief Medical Officer for Hers, and the author of the new book Generation M. We are completely reframing the conversation around menopause, transforming it from a time of fear into the "magic of midlife". With women spending up to 40% of their lives in the postmenopausal phase, Dr. Shepherd explains why we must proactively build our health for our 70s, 80s, and 90s rather than waiting for disease to strike. We tackle the widespread confusion surrounding Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), debunking the 20-year-old WHI study and addressing the misplaced public fears linking estrogen to breast cancer. We also discuss her work at Hers, the benefits of microdosing GLP-1s for weight maintenance and longevity, and the absolute necessity of safe peptide sourcing. Finally, Dr. Shepherd shares the exact advanced labs and supplements—including her personal creatine and hormone stack—that every woman should utilize to optimize her aging trajectory. Guest Information:Dr. Jessica Shepherd is the Chief Medical Officer at Hers and the founder of Sanctum Med Wellness in Dallas.

How many times have you dimmed your light, hidden parts of yourself, or caught yourself judging the way you show up in the world? In this episode, Lacy and Jessica explore visibility, self-worth, deservingness, and authentic expression.

Are you feeling like time is moving incredibly fast and slow all at the same time? As we navigate these unprecedented times, this mid-year check-in helps you slow down, ground your energy, and see what is right in front of you. Join Robyn and Colleen Benelli to discover how to use Reiki to clear out the collective swirl and recognize the aligned new opportunities waiting for your soul. Key Insights Redefining Accomplishment: Our culture trains us to view manifestation only through physical or career status. Reiki invites you to go deeper because new opportunities can also be shifts toward self-care, healing, or creating simply for the joy of it. Eagle and Mouse Vision: True discernment requires using all parts of your awareness. While long-term "Eagle Vision" holds space for big life plans, daily "Mouse Vision" focuses on the single, practical step you can take right now. Aligning the System: To accurately asses opportunities, listen to your head, heart, gut, earth, and divine brains to make conscious choices. Microdosing Reiki: When your mind spins on complex to-do lists, the human self struggles to hear inner guidance. By "microdosing" Reiki on the fly, small breaths, or other quick practices, you shift instantly into deep listening. People Also Ask (FAQ) *How can I tell if a new opportunity is aligned with my path? Use Reiki for discernment by checking it against your current capacity and timing. Listen to your body, and what your logical mind, heart, and gut instinct reveal about your soul's truth. *What does it mean to "microdose" Reiki on the fly? Microdosing means using quick, accessible Reiki techniques to pause and reset during busy days. The four-finger breathing exercise, tapping your thumb to each finger sequentially while breathing, grounds your nervous system instantly. *Why do my manifestations and goals feel stuck or delayed? Sometimes delays mean your human timing does not match divine timing, or your current capacity. Reiki validates that altered timelines do not make your intentions wrong, they are just delayed.

What is GLP-1 microdosing, and can smaller doses of medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Zepbound lead to better long-term weight loss results?In this episode, registered dietitian Zoe is joined by Deidre, FNP, to break down one of the biggest conversations in obesity medicine right now: GLP-1 microdosing. They explain how microdosing differs from standard manufacturer dosing, why FDA-approved dosing schedules are designed for clinical trials, and why a one-size-fits-all approach may not work for every patient.Deidre explains how slower, smaller dose increases may help reduce side effects like nausea and abdominal discomfort, while still supporting hunger control, fewer cravings, less food noise, and gradual weight loss. They also discuss super responders, non-responders, compounded medications, and why personalized GLP-1 dosing can make a major difference in long-term maintenance.They also unpack the debate around GLP-1 microdose marketing, including the recent dispute involving Eli Lilly, Noom, and tirzepatide, and what it means for patients navigating telehealth weight loss programs.Most importantly, Zoe and Deidre explain why medications are only one part of obesity treatment. Sustainable weight loss still depends on nutrition, whole foods, protein, fiber, lifestyle changes, and long-term support.

GLP-1 agonists, like semaglutide (brand names Ozempic and Wegovy), are peptides that mimic this natural hormone. They're typically used for managing type 2 diabetes and, more recently, for weight loss. These peptides work by enhancing insulin secretion when glucose levels are elevated, slowing down gastric emptying, and reducing appetite. They also help lower blood pressure and stabilize blood sugar and cholesterol levels. Most recently they've been approved for improving cardiovascular health.

In this solo episode of The Psychedelic Podcast, Paul F. Austin explores one of the most common questions in the psychedelic space: which psilocybin mushroom strain is actually best? Find full show notes and links here: https://thethirdwave.co/podcast/episode-360/?ref=278 Moving beyond the search for the "strongest" mushroom, Paul breaks down the factors that truly shape a meaningful experience, including strain selection, potency, preparation methods, storage practices, individual sensitivity, and the critical role of context. Drawing on years of experience through Third Wave and the Psychedelic Coaching Institute, Paul compares popular strains such as Golden Teacher, Penis Envy, Ghost, Enigma, and Psilocybe natalensis. He also explains why preparation methods like lemon tekking matter, how to think about microdosing versus macrodosing, and why integration remains one of the most important variables in long-term outcomes. Paul F. Austin is an entrepreneur, educator, and pioneer in the psychedelic field. He is the founder of Third Wave, a leading platform dedicated to psychedelic education, and the Psychedelic Coaching Institute, which trains coaches and practitioners to responsibly support psychedelic experiences and integration. As the host of The Psychedelic Podcast, Paul has interviewed hundreds of leading researchers, clinicians, indigenous wisdom keepers, entrepreneurs, and cultural innovators at the forefront of the psychedelic renaissance.

What if the next chapter of entrepreneurship isn't about hustling harder… but about becoming more regulated, more intentional, and more adaptable? In this episode of Live Well, Earn Well, guest host Donna Lynn Price sits down with Kayse Gehret, founder of Microdosing for Healing—a global platform and community supporting personal transformation through microdosing, nervous system regulation, and intentional practice. Kayse shares how what began as a pandemic "bridge" in 2020—six-week microdosing programs created while her brick-and-mortar wellness studios faced shutdowns—evolved into an international community, a podcast, and a professional training pathway for coaches, therapists, and wellness professionals who feel called to guide others. Together, we explore: What microdosing is (and why Kayse frames it as an indigenous, ancient practice re-emerging in modern times) Why intention is the foundation—because earth medicines can act as "non-specific amplifiers" How people often arrive for one reason (stress, anxiety, dysregulation) and discover deeper outcomes like emotional resilience, leadership capacity, and spiritual development Kayse's personal healing journey—and how a cautious "micro" approach became a life-changing turning point Why Kayse believes we're stepping into a new era for coaches, guides, and entrepreneurs—and how to meet uncertainty with curiosity, adaptability, and purpose If you're a coach, consultant, or heart-centered entrepreneur who's curious about the future of leadership, healing, and aligned growth, this conversation will expand your perspective—and leave you feeling energized about what's ahead.

But is that actually true? That's exactly what we're digging into today.In this episode, we cover:Is "Microdosing" GLP-1s Actually a Thing? — Where the term came from, why it took off, and whether it holds up clinically.The Right Dose Is the One That's Actually Working for You — What therapeutic dosing actually means and how to know if yours is doing its job.Weight Loss Is a Side Effect, Not Always the Goal — Why the scale isn't the only thing worth tracking — and what to measure instead.There Is No Prize for the Lowest Dose — The real cost of staying subtherapeutic and why "less is more" doesn't always apply here.There is no prize for taking the lowest dose. The goal isn't to stay as low as possible, and it isn't to push as high as possible either. The goal is to find the dose that actually works for you — for your body, your health conditions, and your specific outcomes.

Microdosing is everywhere right now, but most people are doing it completely wrong. In this conversation with Paul Austin, founder of Third Wave and author of Mastering Microdosing, we dive deep into why the sub-perceptual model everyone talks about misses the mark, how microdosing differs fundamentally from meditation (and why that matters), and what the latest clinical research actually shows. We explore the overlooked power of intention, the neuroscience of the 5-HT2A receptor, and why Albert Hoffman may have been onto something for those final 30 years of his life.

This week, we explore two forces that shape every creative journey: constraint and uncertainty. Drawing on the remarkable artistic reinventions of Hokusai, we look at how creative legends transitioned from running from the box to thriving within it—and how that same process plays out in creative work today.Our first guest, David Epstein, author of Inside the Box, systematically dismantles the myth of the blank canvas and shows why true creative breakthroughs happen inside carefully constructed boundaries. He shares frameworks used by artistic innovators and practical strategies for leaders and teams to define the right limits—especially in an era of generative AI and limitless toolsets.We then talk with Simone Stolzoff, whose book How Not to Know tackles the fog of uncertainty head-on. He makes the case that tolerating, and even harnessing, uncertainty is not a liability but the lifeblood of all meaningful creative work. Together, David and Simone reveal why “embracing the box” and “rowing in the fog” are not problems to solve, but the permanent address of anyone doing real creative work.Five Key LearningsIntentional Constraints Fuel Creativity: Constraints are not the enemy; they're the engine. Strategic limits—on format, palette, or process—block the most familiar solutions and force genuinely new connections.Define the Boundaries Early: Projects that begin with rapid execution but no clear boundaries almost always bog down. Slow, deliberate thinking at the outset (setting priorities and constraints) leads to faster, more focused execution.Constraint is not Suffocation—It's Clarity: The most productive creative environments, whether in art, business, or writing, use narrow briefs and paired constraints to drive original outcomes.Our Tolerance for Uncertainty Is Eroding: As answers become more instantly available, we lose the ability to sit with the unknown. Microdosing uncertainty—through small experiments and unfamiliar choices—helps rebuild that vital tolerance.Progress is Acting in the Fog: The work that matters is rarely created in total freedom or certainty. Leaders who admit what they don't know and take action anyway (with humility and open curiosity) model the mental flexibility required to innovate.Get full interviews and bonus content for free!

If you want to get leaner and live longer check out https://milliondollarbodylabs.com Can a psychedelic experience actually save your marriage and protect your brain from aging as you get older? I talk with Jay Fiset. He shares how MDMA saved his marriage after years. We discuss categories of psychedelics: classics, empathogens, and dissociatives. Jay explains why classics create neuroplasticity and neurogenesis to fight Alzheimer's and dementia. We cover his experience and how it led to weight loss and connection. He details why empathy and presence are keys to relationships. We explore microdosing for learning and health. Jay introduces San Pedro for the nervous system. We emphasize the need for education and finding a guide. He advocates for experimentation to find what works for the body and mind. Key Takeaways Jay Fiset is a longtime entrepreneur and co-founder of Sendayo, a brand focused on human connection and psychedelic education. Psychedelics fall into three main categories: Classics (non-specific amplifiers), Empathogens (connection and empathy tools), and Dissociatives (tools for detachment). MDMA can help couples dismantle walls and communicate with certainty by putting the amygdala offline and opening the heart. Classics like psilocybin and LSD promote neuroplasticity and neurogenesis, which can grow new neurons and help with brain injury or decay. Microdosing can enhance learning, presence, and skill acquisition in activities like Jiu-Jitsu. San Pedro (Wachuma) is a mescaline-based medicine that, at microdose levels, helps calm the nervous system and improve heart rate variability (HRV). Transformation requires finding a trusted guide who offers multi-medicine experience rather than just selling one specific substance. The best results come from treating your health and relationships as an experiment to find the specific protocols that work for you.

Dr. Dacher Keltner, PhD, is a professor of psychology at the University of California, Berkeley, and a leading expert on the science of emotions and human connection. We discuss the science of awe—what evokes it and how to access it. Dr. Keltner explains how awe helps us frame our experience of life and who we are both as individuals and collectively. We also discuss the role of humor in social bonding, dispel common myths about the biology of emotions and review the lesser-known factors that strengthen or inhibit relationships and communities.
