BONUS. LSD Benefits Explained: From Microdosing to Mind Expansion

What can LSD do for your mental health, energy levels, and inner clarity? In this episode, April Pride takes listeners through the history, effects, and emerging therapeutic use of LSD—on the day it was discovered. From personal stories (including her first full trip) to practical microdosing advice, April offers a refreshingly real look at how LSD can support midlife energy, insight, and mood regulation. You’ll also hear about the risks, historical context, and modern adaptations of this once-feared psychedelic—and why now might be the time to rethink it.

🔵 Key Takeaways
