The Psychedelic Therapy Revolution – how psyched

The Psychedelic Therapy Revolution – how psychedelic drugs are used for therapy.

Welcome back to our last episode of our Microdosing Movement series as we touch on psychedelic therapy and its benefits.

We chat to Kevin Coyne, CEO of @natroceutics, to help us cover the following questions:

1. What is psychedelic therapy?
2. The use of these psychedelics were once deemed dangerous and illegal and now they are used to treat anxiety and depression - how is this a different approach to therapy?
3. Why is it so successful for mental health and what would a session like this entail?
4. Who would benefit from doing this sort of therapy and where would one go to receive this type of therapy?

MUM’S WHO MICRODOSE 🍄 I’m a mom microdosi

MUM’S WHO MICRODOSE 🍄

I’m a mom microdosing magic mushrooms and here’s how it’s changing how I see the world.

“It’s not the 60’s and I’m not a hippie, neither am I in my experimental teens or 20’s. Yet here I am - a mom on mushrooms.” By Christina Rivera Cogswell

Yes ladies and gents, this is a real thing and there is growing evidence that mama’s are microdosing on a regular basis for a variety of reasons. The above article is one of many we came across, with brave mama’s who are admitting to microdosing during the week to just take the edge off or to curb anxiety and be more focused and present.

We ask Kevin Coyne, CEO of @natroceutics on why microdosing could be beneficial for mother’s who are constantly in a state of anxiety, overwhelm and who are not able to focus.

🍄 The Microdosing Movement 🍄

… all you need to know about the magic of microdosing ✨

So let’s first just start with letting you know that this topic was the most requested subject we’ve ever had on this platform!

The thing is...

A large body of research suggests psilocybin (magic mushrooms) have therapeutic benefits for treating depression, anxiety, and trauma, so then why is the mushroom movement so underground (pun intended)?

Yes, we know it’s totally illegal, but if something is doing such amazing things and has such a positive effect on the mind and body, then why are we not giving this more screen time?

So we managed to find someone who would be willing to chat to us about the benefits and importance of these substances, giving us more insight into this underground world of psychedelics.

Introducing Kevin Coyne, CEO of @natroceutics 🌱

In short, microdosing involves taking very small doses of psychedelic dru*s, such as LSD or psilocybin mushrooms on a semi-regular basis in order to treat mental health issues or experience reported benefits such as improved:

• Focus
• Mood
• Concentration
• Mindfulness
• Creativity levels

and decreased

• Anxiety
• Depression
• Stress

We asked Kevin Coyne the following 3 questions, to get us up to speed with what this movement is all about:

1. What is microdosing and what substances do you microdose with?

2. If we talk about microdosing with magic mushrooms 🍄 what are some of the health benefits experienced from this?

3. How often does one microdose and how much?

Youthful skin? Who can say no to that! 😅

The Focus-On Filler treatment by @environskincaresa has been such a game changer, even after just 1 treatment! It’s quick, pain-free and gives you immediate results which is incredible. 🙌 This treatment is for those who are concerned with aging skin and looking for a non-invasive treatment to reduce fine lines and wrinkles.

Here’s what @nixiinoodle has to say:

“This was the perfect treatment for me, especially because I am petrified of needles or anything painful 😖 The results are instant too, which is pretty insane! I loved how my skin felt afterwards - it was almost like an instant injection of plumpness!”

“Sometimes life isn’t Pinterest perfect...

The sleepless nights, the early mornings
The chaos and the craziness
The mess and the madness
The mood-swings and the tears

For me, wellbeing starts at home...from the moment my kids wake up...

Our home is where memories are created, love resides and laughter fills the air.

But, amidst the chaos, special moments arise, and we are reminded of what really fills our cup.” @nixiinoodle
