Hi Dr Dave. Psychotherapist and psilocybin researcher here. OCD & other anxiety disorders tend to need much higher doses to make deep neurological changes that you addressed in this episode. Microdosing does not have the sufficient research as higher doses do. In the literature, psilocybin needs to be in the 20-50 mg range to make deep changes in neuroplasticity. This probably translates to somewhere in the range of 3-5 grams of dried fruit (depends on strength of strain). It’s not an exact science but there is research showing a robust improvement only in the higher doses with proper set/setting and, if possible, a guide or therapist. Ruminating and obsessive thinking is extremely stressful and exhausting and benefits from neuronal rewiring and increased neuroplasticity. Ketamine has also shown good results. However, do your own research and consider higher amounts of psilocybin in correct setting. Wishing you all the best!!!!

Thank you Nakama. Your Hawaii broadcast made me think a lot…I’m going to listen to this broadcast again and give it a lot of thought. It really touched home for me. As I looked at the clock, the microwave said 515 so I looked up the number. As the meaning of angel number 515 is linked to personal freedom, major life changes, and the fact that you have the power to create your own reality, these can be the beautiful energies circling this triptych of digits. Thank you, Dave. I look forward to the Mondays & every Wednesday and every Friday. Lisa

Wonderful podcast from a wonderful gentleman. This really sparked a fantastic journey for me and still aids me on such a beautiful journey!

Awesome show! Great info

I haven’t listened to this podcast in a minute because I was frustrated with the accuracy of content that the so called professor was sharing. I start this mess and immediately realized why I left. This one took the cake. I’m officially unsubscribed. Please. There is so much better information out there. And by god, please don’t ever spend money on microdosing support. This is medicine from the earth. There is FREE information from many sources out there. The mushrooms aren’t a magic pill and this guy leads people to believe they just need to pop a pill. Find better support. It’s out there, from reliable people that grow the medicine and have a much better connection. Mis-information all day.

Love the content and the brevity of the episodes. Came upon this podcast as my own journey of exploration began. Stayed as a means to check-in on progression of experiences. Such a great service to a community seeking natural alternatives to a broken and profit focused industry (pharmaceutical). I do believe this will be de-criminalized in the near future, helping countless people achieve their fullest potential, naturally. FYI. Dr. Dave is a trained dentist, not a medical/psychologist. I think that’s important to know. He’s simply an informed educated man sharing his learns and experiences. Very much appreciated.

If you’re trying to enter the world of micro-dosing. This is the podcast for you. Very informative and helps you relax into this new journey you’ve decided upon. It helped me understand that mushrooms are not the scary monster we’ve been told about. He made me realize that they heal instead.

Very informative information on microdosing. Very excited to start my own journey. Thank you

Wow thank you! You’ve inspired me to take action into living my highest life path! I’m so thankful we live on earth at the same time!

It’s great to have such a positive place to go to learn about micro dosing. Thank you!
