Embodied Microdosing Podcast

This week's episode comes straight from a live Q&A inside the Ministry, where I answered some recent questions that have come through the ministry. 

If you've ever wondered whether it's safe to microdose alone for the first time, where to actually source your mushrooms, if mushrooms can help with PMS, PMDD and Perimenopause, or what makes working within a church ministry different from going it alone, this episode is for you.

In this episode, I answer:

• Is it safe to microdose by myself for the first time?
• How do you source mushrooms responsibly?
• Can microdosing help with challenging menstrual cycles?
• Why work with a church ministry instead of doing this alone?
• How do you set intentions that actually work?
• What's the difference between the Original Sacrament and Amanita?

We touch on what to have in place before your first solo dose, and the signs you might want support instead, what to look for and what to avoid when you're sourcing, the protective and communal role a ministry plays, hormones and microdosing, why vague intentions tend to fall flat (and how to set ones that get actual traction) and how Psilocybin and Amanita differ in feel, tradition, and how we work with each inside the Ministry.

If this episode resonates, I'd love for you to share it with someone who's asking these same questions. 

And if you want to go deeper with any of these topics, you know where to find us inside the Ministry!

It's our first interview on the podcast!

I sat down with someone who has spent years at the intersection of conventional medicine and psychedelic healing, and the conversation that unfolded was so layered.

Dan is a Physician Assistant with a deep personal and professional relationship with anxiety, depression, and chronic pain — and with the sacred mushrooms that helped him find his way through. 

He is a wealth of knowledge, and more than that, he is real. This episode does not shy away from the hard questions. We cover:

• What anxiety and depression are really telling us
• Dan's personal journey with anxiety, depression, and chronic pain
• How psilocybin works in both micro and macro doses
• Medications and mushrooms — the interaction, the risks, the real conversation around pharmaceuticals
• Weaning off meds safely and thoughtfully
• Healing the nervous system, not just the symptoms
• Why consciousness lives in the body

We talk about what we actually mean when we call something anxiety or depression, and why understanding the nervous system changes everything. Dan shares his own story, his lived experience behind the clinical knowledge, and what working with psilocybin (both in small and large doses) has meant for him personally and professionally.

And then we go somewhere most people are afraid to go: medications. If you are on an antidepressant or anti-anxiety medication and you are curious about mushrooms, this episode is for you. Dan speaks with care and clarity about how these medications interact with psilocybin, whether combining them is dangerous, and how some people approach weaning off medications that are no longer serving them.

We also spend time talking about the body and nervous system, because that is where consciousness actually lives! Dan talks about the physical experience of working with mushrooms, what healing actually feels like from the inside, and why the body is not just along for the ride.

This episode is a real treat, I hope you savor it.

Amanita Muscaria has a reputation. Most of it is wrong.

In this episode I'm pulling back the curtain on one of the most misunderstood mushrooms out there, and giving you the complete guide I wish had existed when I first started working with this seriously magical mushroom.

We're covering it all:

• How Amanita actually works — it's not a classic psychedelic, it doesn't touch serotonin, and understanding its unique mechanism changes everything about how you approach it
• The real benefits — from chronic pain relief and addiction support to nervous system regulation, anxiety, sleeplessness, and dream work
• How to dose — from microdose to macrodose, what to expect at each level, and how to find what's right for your body
• How to integrate — because what comes up with Amanita deserves time, 
• How to approach this medicine with reverence — the mindset and container that make all the difference, integration tips

No fluff, no fear, just everything you need to know to microdose a liquid Amanita Sacrament confidently, safely, and intentionally.

Whether you've been circling this mushroom for years or you're hearing about it for the first time, this episode meets you where you are.

Welcome to Breathwork Church.

The first Sunday of every month, the ministry gathers together. And this month, I'm uploading it into a podcast episode!

This is the full recording of our June session, it's a Solstice service built around one of the most ancient relationships we have: our relationship with the sun.

In this episode, we explore what it means to become light as medicine as a spiritual practice.

In the sermon, we cover:

• Why our fear of the sun has cost us, and how to reclaim this relationship
• The body as a light-receiving instrument: receptor sites, hormone regulation, mood, and the circadian rhythm reset that morning sunlight provides
• Sun gazing, sun codes, and light as spiritual transmission
• The solar masculine across world traditions; the sun as God, Source, Universe

Then we drop in.

A 25-minute breathwork session where you'll identify a place in your body asking for light (physical, emotional, or energetic) and breathe it in. 

Come as you are.

Breathwork Church meets the first Sunday of every month via Zoom. Join us for the next 6 months and receive reminders for each gathering:

You've heard the stories. You believe the science. You've listened to the podcasts. You've joined the communities. You've spent hours researching protocols, doses, strains, schedules, and success stories!

And yet... you still haven't started.

If that's you, this episode is for you.

Today we're exploring one of the most common barriers to beginning a microdosing practice: fear. 

Not because you're weak, uncommitted, or doing it wrong, but because your nervous system is designed to keep you safe.

In this episode, I share why so many people get stuck in the cycle of endless learning, planning, and preparation without ever taking the first step. 

We'll explore how overthinking and resistance a form of protection, what your nervous system may be trying to accomplish, and how to gently move through it without pressuring yourself.

You'll learn why starting imperfectly is often more powerful than waiting for the perfect moment and I'll even share some gentle ways to build trust with yourself as you begin your microdosing journey

If you've been standing at the edge, wondering whether you're ready, this episode offers a compassionate perspective on what may be holding you back and how to move forward with greater confidence and self-trust.

Your path begins with a single drop!

Which one of these are you missing? 

In this episode, I share the two ways I believe microdosing sacred mushrooms can support your healing and transformation.

The first is learning how to live your microdosing practice in real life: bringing awareness into your body throughout the day, noticing your system, taking breaths, making small adjustments, and allowing the medicine to support you moment by moment.

I even give a practical example of how I did this recently when in a conversation with someone!

The second is creating intentional space to go deeper through ceremony, ritual, embodiment, and inner work. This is where we slow down, listen inward, and allow the sacrament to guide deeper healing and connection.

I do this in my life, and I guide others to do it. It's my favorite way to work with the Sacrament, and its beautiful the healing it promotes! 

I share how this second approach is woven into my Journey to Heal Membership, where I guide members through embodied healing practices, ceremonies, breathwork, and ways to work intentionally with the mushroom sacrament for transformation and nervous system healing.

One of the most common questions I hear is: “How often should I microdose for max results?” And the honest answer is… it depends.

In this episode, we explore the rhythm of microdosing as a living, evolving relationship between you, your body, and the medicine.

Microdosing isn’t something to do every day. In fact, the pauses between doses are just as important as the dose itself. These integration days are where your nervous system catches up, where insights begin to land, and where real change takes root.

Inside this conversation, I walk you through three primary approaches to scheduling:

•  The every third day rhythm (one day on, two days off), a gentle and widely trusted starting point that helps you observe contrast, afterglow, and baseline 
•  The Stamets-inspired approach (multiple consecutive days on, followed by rest), which can support momentum, creativity, and more intensive healing windows 
•  The intuitive approach, where you begin to listen deeply and allow your dosing to be guided by your inner knowing and real-time needs 

We also talk about what consistency actually means in this work. Returning to the practice week after week, allowing the medicine to build on itself over time.

You’ll hear reflections on:

•  Why tolerance builds quickly (and why that’s actually supportive) 
•  How to work with your nervous system instead of overwhelming it 
•  The importance of integration, embodiment, and emotional processing 
•  How to choose a schedule that fits your lifestyle, capacity, and season of life 

We also explore timing, both within your week and within your day.

From when you might feel the effects (30–60 minutes for capsules, often faster with tinctures), to how long they last, to how you can intentionally pair your microdose with practices like breathwork, journaling, movement, or prayer.

This episode is a recording of a small group session, a live activation recorded inside the Embodied Microdosing Ministry.

What unfolded in this space was a return to something simple, but not always easy: staying.

Because this work isn’t just about the medicine, it’s about your relationship to the medicine. And ultimately, the remembering that you are the medicine.

Through guided breath, presence, and intention, this activation explores:

•  The power of consistency and developing trust with yourself
•  The meaning of devotion in your practice 
•  What it looks like to stay with yourself in real time 
• How to create a container for your microdosing that uses 4 key elements

You’re invited to experience this, not just listen. 

Find a quiet space, soften your attention inward, and allow your body to be part of the journey!

Most people don’t struggle with microdosing because it “doesn’t work.”

They struggle because the practice never fully takes shape.

In this episode, I’m sharing the missing step between wanting to microdose and actually building a rhythm that supports real change in your life.

We move beyond the basics of set and setting and into what it really looks like to enter a microdosing season. Not something you try once or twice, but something you live with, respond to, and grow inside of.

I walk you through the four core levers that shape your experience:

dosage
rhythm
intention
embodiment

These are points of relationship you learn to adjust as your body, your life, and your healing evolve.

I also break down the most common ways a microdosing practice quietly falls apart, including:

• when your intention stops evolving
• when your dosage or rhythm no longer matches your nervous system
• when embodiment is missing and everything stays mental
• when one emotional experience causes you to stop
• when the practice becomes rigid instead of responsive

If you’ve ever felt like microdosing worked at first but didn’t last, or you’re unsure how to begin in a way that actually sticks, this episode will help you understand why.

I also share more about the Live Activation happening on April 28th at 7pm, where we will take this framework and turn it into a real, personalized microdosing season together through teaching, intention setting, and guided breathwork.

In this episode, we explore one of the most important and often overlooked aspects of microdosing: set and setting.

Most people get super focused on the dose, the schedule, or the protocol. But the truth is, microdosing doesn’t happen in isolation. It happens in the middle of your real life. 

Your mindset and your environment shape the experience just as much as the medicine itself.

Let me help you understand this. 

We break down what “set and setting” actually means in the context of microdosing, and how it applies even in subtle, everyday doses. I share how your internal state, your emotional tone, and the intention you carry into the day very much influences what unfolds.

Microdosing can support you right in the middle of parenting, working, relating, and moving through challenges.

Inside this conversation, I share personal examples from my own practice, including how I worked with intention in a challenging moment today, and how the medicine can support you in real-time, not just in curated or ceremonial spaces.

You’ll learn how to:

•  Understand and work with internal set and external setting 
•  Bring simple ritual and awareness into your everyday life 
•  Shift from control into curiosity with your mindset 
•  Use the phrase “show me” to create a more open and responsive intention 
•  Stop waiting for the perfect moment and begin where you are 

This episode is an invitation to approach microdosing as a relationship. One that meets you exactly where you are and asks for one thing: your presence.
