Keegan Downer (Founder of mindfulMEDS) shares how he went from alcohol addiction and a near-suicidal breaking point, to recovery and to building one of Canada's most recognized microdosing education brands, and why psilocybin doesn't have to be "woo."

We also get super practical: What microdosing actually feels like day-to-day, why it can hit women differently (especially moms), how psilocybin compares to SSRIs (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor) when it comes to emotional processing, and why "wine o'clock" culture is quietly keeping so many women stuck in a stress-and-numb cycle.

In Day 2 of The Feminine Longevity Shift free live masterclass, I unpack why so many women are doing "everything right". Yet still feel inflamed, exhausted, or disconnected.

This isn't about more discipline or optimization.

It's about recognizing how misalignment shows up in the female body and what actually supports long-term vitality, hormonal resilience, and healthy aging.

Join my NEW private community at thelongherlife.com for ongoing protocols, live coaching, and deeper support.

I TALK ABOUT:

05:45 - Connecting women's longevity to intuition and low-grade stress you don't notice until you feel it

07:10 - Recognizing the systems that train women to override their needs and intuition

13:10 - Using a full-body scan to treat your symptoms like feedback, not "normal aging"

21:45 - Hormone burnout, resentment, and loss of pleasure through the sacral/womb lens

27:30 - Linking self-worth and productivity to metabolism, inflammation, and "proving energy"

33:20 - Emotional labor as a real physical load that shows up in the shoulders, chest, and immunity

41:20 - Breaking the overthinking loop and returning to the body when you live "in your head"

51:25 - From survival identity to thriving identity with three reflection prompts
