Ep. 12 - The Magic of Microdosing
In today’s episode, May from Vellum Health joins me to talk about the power of microdosing mushrooms and how it can change your thought patterns and behaviour. I’ve personally been experimenting with microdosing since January 2022, in combination with adaptogenic mushrooms and herbs, and I love it!
Vellum Health came to be when a mycologist and psychologist started to play with psilocybin to support their own mental health, which moved on to their family and friends. Vellum Health produces safe, accessible and affordable products that are organic, vegan, ethically produced, GMO-, soy- and gluten-free; all while being placed in biodegradable packaging.
Microdosing has emerged as a cutting edge tool to help change difficult thought patterns and behaviour, supporting mental health and neuroplasticity.
What is neuroplasticity?
Neuroplasticity means that the physical structure of the human brain can change, even in adulthood. These physical changes in the brain influence your thought patterns, personality and behaviors - which is huge! Neurological patterns in our brains are being strengthened as we do things, so over time, these patterns become well worn and hard to deviate from. Psilocybin has been shown to help support the new formation of neurons and in return create new patterns that are long lasting changes within your brain. This is not a magic bullet solution but a holistic approach that should be paired with lifestyle and dietary changes.
