    Psilocybin – Repair Your Love Life? And More Q&A

    Welcome to Microdose U! Thanks for being here! You are about to change your life!!! Can magic mushrooms actually make intimacy better? In this short episode, Dr. Dave explores the surprising ways psilocybin and microdosing may enhance sex, intimacy, and connection in relationships. We’ll talk about how psilocybin can reduce performance anxiety, quiet the overthinking mind, and help you become more present with your partner. When you’re not stuck in your head, intimacy feels deeper, more connected, and more pleasurable. This ties back to a recent episode I did on paruresis (shy bladder) and situational anxiety — because sexual anxiety is really just another form of that same challenge. And of course, I’ll be answering some of your most common microdosing questions at the end. If you’re curious about microdosing for intimacy, psilocybin and sex, or how magic mushrooms can affect relationships and love life, this episode is for you.

    Growing Up In China – Deep Depression

    She’s a Chinese woman in her 40s. No siblings. No softness. Just pressure, perfection, and silence. In this deeply emotional and honest interview, Lina opens up for the first time about the trauma she endured growing up under China’s one-child policy. Her story is one of invisible wounds — the kind that come from cold parenting, impossible expectations, and a culture where obedience is everything. This is not therapy. This is not advice. This is a space for truth. Lina did not want to be seen on camera — and we honor that. What you’ll hear is real. Raw. And possibly something you or someone you know has quietly lived through, too. If you’re listening to the audio version on Spotify, Apple, or any other podcast app — the full video with subtitles is available on YouTube. ⸻ 🧠 Topics we explore in this interview: • Strict Asian parenting and emotional neglect • Growing up under China’s one-child policy • How childhood trauma manifests in adulthood • The hidden cost of “high achievement” households • Why so many seek healing later in life • Psilocybin as a possible path forward (indirectly touched) 📩 Got a question, comment, or story to share? I’d love to hear from you. Drop a comment or email me directly. I read everything. ⸻ Welcome to Microdose U! Thanks for being here! You are about to change your life!!!
