Magic mushrooms used to mean a party drug or a bad trip. Today psilocybin is in phase 3 clinical trials, and more women than you would ever guess are quietly microdosing for anxiety, creativity and the mental load of motherhood. In this episode I share why I microdose, how I do it, and everything I wish every woman knew before she tried it. I explain what psilocybin actually is, how much a microdose really is (and what I take), and what happens in your brain: the serotonin 2A receptor, BDNF, neuroplasticity, and why the loop of overthinking goes quiet. Then the energetic side: the crown chakra, the pineal gland, how psilocybin literally changes your brain's frequencies, and why sound has always been part of this medicine. I also get personal. My own microdosing journey before and after postpartum, my Sunday batch cooking ritual, the postpartum anxiety and intrusive thoughts I did not realize I had until I came out of them, and how microdosing helps me stay open to solutions instead of forcing the how.

Do you have clients who react to everything? What if their symptoms, scattered as they seem, share one cause? In this episode of IRH Clinician's Corner, Margaret Floyd Barry talks with Dr. Meg Mill about mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) and histamine intolerance, two conditions that trip up even practitioners with years of clinical experience. Dr. Mill walks through the clinical signs to watch for and makes the case for slowing down and sequencing your approach with these clients. In this episode: The difference between histamine intolerance and MCAS Symptoms that point to histamine issues but rarely get connected to them Why perimenopause can trigger new histamine symptoms How gut health and histamine-producing bacteria factor in Why common gut-healing protocols can backfire with these clients Why nervous system regulation is central to resolving these cases The Clinician's Corner is brought to you by the Institute of Restorative Health: https://instituteofrestorativehealth.com/ Upcoming Event: Margaret Floyd Barry is teaching a free session on September 15 for practitioners who want a smaller, structured offer to bring new clients in the door. She's walking through how to build a challenge-style entry point using CGM data, tested across real client volume in our own corporate wellness practice.

Dr. Riley Kirk has Dr. Denise Valenti on the podcast to discuss cannabis and driving, cannabis impairment, THC testing, and the challenges of determining whether someone is actually too impaired to drive. They explore why THC levels in the body do not necessarily correspond to impairment and how cannabis can affect vision, peripheral vision, contrast sensitivity, eye movement, balance, and pupil response. They also discuss the limitations of current roadside cannabis testing compared with alcohol testing, including the challenges of using blood THC levels, cognitive tests, and field sobriety tests to determine cannabis impairment. Dr. Valenti explains her work developing technology that could combine multiple sensory measurements to identify impairment more accurately. The conversation also explores how dose, tolerance, consumption method, individual differences, medical conditions, and baseline function can influence impairment and why there is no universal rule for how long someone should wait before driving after consuming cannabis. They discuss Drug Recognition Experts, the need for stronger scientific validation and national standards, and the importance of developing impairment-testing technology that is accurate and free from racial bias. Finally, they discuss cannabis and driving research, harm reduction, the challenges of funding cannabis impairment studies, and why controlled, dose-specific research is needed to better understand the relationship between cannabis, impairment, and road safety.

This episode is going to explore the state of the psychedelic movement right now — the money, the policy, the ethics, and the stories that are not getting told. Specifically, we are going to be exploring what is actually happening across the so-called psychedelic renaissance: the for-profit pharmaceutical track, city and state level decriminalization, the unregulated market selling products that mostly do not contain what they claim to, the biopiracy question that almost nobody in mainstream media will ask about, and why one of the field's most trusted journalists says psychedelics are a relationship rather than a cure. Our guest is Shelby Hartman. What You'll Learn About:
Ready to turn your gift for helping people into a real coaching career? Visit: https://riseandthriveglobal.com/positive-psychology-coaching/ Alli Schaper will tell you that the most important things she knows about living, she learned from mushrooms, including how to die. She is the CEO and cofounder of SuperMush, a functional mushroom brand backed by globally recognised artists, athletes and founders, a co-founder of Microdosing Collective, the first US nonprofit dedicated to legal microdosing advocacy, and the host of Into The Multiverse, a podcast exploring consciousness and psychedelics. Her path there did not begin on a stage. By the time she was 21, she had been prescribed around twelve different pharmaceutical medications for chronic gut issues she had carried since childhood. The tuning fork Alli’s way out was not a magic pill, and that, she says, was the whole lesson. Functional mushrooms, lion’s mane instead of high doses of caffeine, chaga for immune function, reishi to wind down for sleep, acted as what she calls a tuning fork for her nervous system. They slowed her down enough for her body to follow its natural rhythm, and for her gut, our second brain, to function well again. She is quick to add that not all mushrooms are made equal. The gold standard is the fruiting body of the fungus, double extracted through hot water and alcohol, and she is passionate about people learning to read the label of what they put in their body. The lie of the quick fix Society, Alli argues, has sold us a massive lie: that everything we take should fix us immediately. An Advil numbs the pain, a Xanax puts you to sleep. Adaptogens are different. They work to bring the body into homeostasis, and sometimes the first week feels worse, not better, as the body works through what it has been holding, the way a sauna stirs up what it is helping you release. Stay the course, she says, and the discomfort is the detox. What fungi know about death Then the conversation goes somewhere most wellness interviews never do. Humans share almost 50 per cent of our DNA with fungi, and Alli believes we have barely begun to learn from them. Beneath every step we take runs the mycelium network, and when something dies on the forest floor, the fungi decompose it and return its nutrients to the soil as new life. Mushrooms, she says, are great alchemisers of death and dying. That teaching became personal when her father passed away unexpectedly, five days before he was due to retire. Her whole family had experienced mushrooms together before he died, and it gave her mother, married to him for 36 years, a profoundly different relationship with grief. His passing also left Alli with a warning she now carries everywhere: beware destination happiness, the habit of parking your joy at some future date you may never reach. A breath between trigger and response Microdosing, Alli explains, is a sub-perceptual dose of a psychedelic taken like a supplement, no visuals, no hallucinations, on a protocol of a few days a week over about three months. By quieting the default mode network, where our habit loops live, it opens a window of neuroplasticity. Her favourite example is disarmingly ordinary: her mum calls, says something triggering, and where the old programme would answer like a six-year-old, microdosing gives her a breath to choose her response. Those subtle shifts, she believes, could change the world. It is not a panacea, she is careful to say, and used unconsciously psychedelics can cause real trouble. Used consciously, with reverence, they helped her look at herself honestly. Not a magic pill For 15 to 20 years, Alli sat on the crinkly paper of doctors’ offices waiting to be told what was wrong with her. The turning point was deciding her health was her own responsibility, and seeing clearly, in her words, how much of her life her mind was making her sick. What the mushrooms unlayered was something she believes we all carry underneath: your natural state is joy. Alli left us with three shiny golden nuggets. Functional mushrooms can be a tuning fork for your nervous system. Microdosing can create open-mindedness and the ability to pattern-interrupt yourself. And mushrooms are incredible teachers of death that can teach us how to live more fully. Watch the full conversation on YouTube.

Somewhere between "you don't qualify" and "here's your full dose," there's a whole conversation nobody is having. GLP-1 microdosing has quietly become one of the most requested and least understood protocols in metabolic medicine. Patients are asking for it. Clinics are offering it. The research to fully back it doesn't exist yet. We get honest about all three at once. We cover what microdosing actually means, why the approved doses are the approved doses, why so many women in perimenopause feel the standard protocol wasn't built for their body, and where the real risk lives — which is almost never where people think it is. Not a pitch. Not a warning label. The conversation you'd get with ninety minutes instead of eleven. Book a consultation: HERE· Follow: @culturecollectivebrands The new Wellness aesthetic Fusion Method: HERE Education only, not medical advice. GLP-1 receptor agonists are prescription medications with real contraindications. Talk to your own licensed provider.
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 happens when we stop trying to control the path and allow intuition, experience and the medicine itself to lead? In this episode, I explain what I am seeing after years of supporting people through microdosing practice, including why group work and human connection are becoming increasingly important.

Microdosing GLP-1 weight loss drugs may help some people improve self-control by reducing cravings for substances other than food, such as alcohol, nicotine, and cannabis, according to emerging evidence discussed in this episode. “Better Than Fine” host Darlene Marshall examines the science behind GLP-1 drugs (like semaglutide) and their off-label uses for self-regulation. She shares up-to-date studies, real-world examples, and her own experience to answer the central question: "Can microdosing GLP-1 weight loss drugs improve self-control and help reduce unwanted habits?" Listeners will learn what microdosing means, how social and scientific evidence has evolved, and what the current science actually says about effectiveness and potential mechanisms. This presentation empowers you to better understand the risks, limitations, and practical takeaways if you or your clients are considering these drugs for self-regulation. After this episode, you will be better equipped to discuss this topic with clients or care providers and navigate media headlines with a critical, evidence-based perspective. Chapters: 00:00:09 What is the buzz around microdosing weight loss drugs? 00:04:35 Why are people microdosing GLP-1 drugs for self-control and what does the science show so far? 00:06:04 What does "microdosing" actually mean and how is it defined in wellness? 00:09:01 How did anecdotal reports and online chatter lead to formal studies on GLP-1 drugs and cravings? 00:12:22 What does the strongest evidence say about GLP-1 drugs lowering substance use? 00:14:39 How do GLP-1 drugs impact alcohol consumption? 00:17:26 What is the evidence about GLP-1 drugs helping with nicotine cravings? 00:19:20 How do GLP-1 drugs relate to cannabis use and could they help reduce misuse? 00:20:28 What is the potential mechanism for GLP-1 drugs affecting self-control? 00:22:31 Are there any studies on microdosing specifically, not just full doses? 00:23:37 What is Darlene Marshall's personal experience trying a microdose GLP-1 protocol for self-control? 00:27:35 What cautions, ethical considerations, and unknowns should you keep in mind? 00:29:54 What is coming next in research and what can you do with this information? 00:30:24 How can you connect, give feedback, or find show notes and resources?

We have been open about our experiences with psychedelics and microdosing and the meaningful role they played in our own journeys into Terrain. But as psychedelics move from the counterculture into clinics, retreats and the mainstream, are we at risk of turning them into another version of the very thing they're supposed to replace: the magic pill?John O'Connor, author of A Short, Strange Trip, joins us for a nuanced look at the psychedelic renaissance through the story of one of its most influential figures, Terence McKenna. John retraced McKenna's journey into the Colombian Amazon, separating some of the history from the mythology and discovering that indigenous relationships with psychoactive plants look very different from the Western stories we've built around them.The conversation becomes deeply personal when John shares his father's unsuccessful attempts to treat decades of alcohol addiction with ketamine and psilocybin-assisted therapy—an experience that forced John to confront his own expectations about these medicines. We explore the danger of placing responsibility for healing onto a substance, why psychedelics may help us rewrite the stories we tell about ourselves without necessarily making those stories true, and the strange contradiction of rejecting the pharmaceutical model only to replace "take this pill" with "take this mushroom."We also get into McKenna's complicated legacy, psychedelic shamanism, ego dissolution and spiritual grandiosity, the therapeutic versus recreational use of psychedelics, indigenous plant traditions, the importance of intention and integration, and why it's possible to recognize the profound potential of these substances without turning them into something they aren't.This isn't a rejection of psychedelics. It's a challenge to hold the promise and the problems at the same time, and to remember that no medicine can do the work of tending our terrain for us.Learn more about John and his work at https://www.johnmoconnor.com/Support Terrain Theory on Patreon!

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. If you want me to help you build and sequence your own stack around your goals and your labs, you can book a free call here.

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." Why that excuse doesn't hold up - The real cost of skipping a GLP (it's more than money) - The best peptide and order to use for belly fat Book peptide consult: https://p.bttr.to/3uiKlRv https://Elliemd.com/Carrotsncake Peptides for Women Course: https://carrots-n-cake.mykajabi.com/offers/3Q7wttmr/checkout?coupon_code=PEP Peptides for Practitioners Certification: https://www.carrotsncake.com/offers/TrVo7mCz?coupon_code=PFPTINA Connect with Tina Haupert: https://carrotsncake.com/ Facebook: Carrots 'N' Cake https://www.facebook.com/carrotsncake Instagram: @carrotsncake https://www.instagram.com/carrotsncake YouTube: Tina Haupert https://www.youtube.com/user/carrotsncake About Tina Haupert: Tina Haupert is the owner of Carrots ‘N' Cake as well as a Certified Nutrition Coach and Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner (FDN-P).

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.

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.

As we move into an era of refinement, we're being called to question everything that no longer feels true. That includes the magnetic "f*ck it" energy that emerges when we stop performing for love, approval, success, and belonging and start choosing radical authenticity instead. If you've been feeling the call to stop hiding and step into the next version of who you're becoming, this is your invitation.

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.

In this eye-opening episode of The Girlfriend Doctor Show, Dr. Anna Cabeca sits down with endocrinologist and women's health expert Dr. Shamita Trivedi to uncover why "normal" lab results don't always mean optimal 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.

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.

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. If you're curious about psychedelics but don't know where to start, or if you're already exploring this space, this episode cuts through the noise. 00:00 Microdosing: Most People Are Doing It Wrong03:51 What Is Microdosing?

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.
