Micro-dosing Psychedelics + Healing Your Mental Health | Paul Austin

EP. 201: Today’s guest is Paul Austin of Third Wave. This episode is all about microdosing psychedelics, so I guess this is a bit of a trigger warning. If this is something that you don't feel comfortable hearing about, talking about, discussing, then I would skip this episode, because we talk a lot about psilocybin. We talk about psychedelics as a whole, talk a lot about Paul Austin and his work with Third Wave, where their mission is to nurture the emerging psychedelic ecosystem by providing individuals with research-based education, access to vetted providers and membership in their global community, a safe space to ask questions, share experiences and connect with others on a similar journey.  Topics Discussed 07:39 - Paul Austin’s upbringing and origin in psychedelic work 13:45 - What someone can expect when they microdose 17:57 - Microdosing and LSD protocol 21:14 - Mental health benefits 26:58 - Dimming down the fear 28:28 - Unpacking Courtney’s experience and advice for first timers 32:56 - Building your own protocol 35:53 - Growing your own mushrooms with Third Wave 37:14 - The Microdosing Collective and policy changes 42:35 - Clinical research with MDMA and PTSD 44:50 - Old School approach towards drug exploration and psychedelic training 47:57 - How to find resources and assistance 51:03 - Who microdosing is right for 54:25 - Concerns about negative long term effects 56:43 - Connection your intuition with your psychedelic use 58:41 - “Mushroom hangover” 01:00:30 - Dopamine depletion 01:02:31 - Paul’s health non-negotiables Check Out Paul Austin Paul Austin Instagram Show Links: ThirdWave Website  ThirdWave Instagram ThirdWave Mushroom Grow Kit The Microdosing Collective Sponsored By: BIOptimizers Get your free bottle of magnesium breakthrough while supplies last at magbreakthrough.com/realfoodologyfree Qualia Go to Qualialife.com/REALFOODOLOGY for up to 50% off and use code REALFOODOLOGY at checkout for an additional 15% off.
