In this episode I sit down with my first guest on The Inner Trip, Anna, to have a real conversation about microdosing psilocybin, chronic pain, anxiety, and what it feels like to do everything “right” and still not feel okay. Anna shares her experience navigating years of unexplained physical pain, endless doctor visits, a fibromyalgia diagnosis, and relying on prescriptions that never addressed the root cause. With no prior background in plant medicine, microdosing became a last-resort “why not” decision that ultimately helped her find more stability, clarity, and emotional regulation.

We talk about what microdosing actually feels like, why it is far more subtle than most people expect, and how it supports the nervous system rather than removing life’s challenges. Anna explains why integration is everything, how the habits she built during microdosing continue to support her even during long breaks, and why living by your values can become one of the most powerful integration tools. This episode offers a grounded, science-backed look at microdosing without hype or shortcuts.

If you’ve been curious about microdosing or feel stuck despite trying everything else, I hope this episode will help you understand what’s possible when you stop chasing fixes and start working with your nervous system instead.

In today’s episode of The Inner Trip, I’m answering some of the most common and controversial questions I get about microdosing and psychedelics. This myth busting episode is designed to bring clarity, education, and honesty to a space that’s often filled with confusion and half truths.

I dive into the big question everyone asks: is microdosing just a placebo? I explain why the placebo effect isn’t actually a bad thing, how it shows up across modern medicine, and why what matters most is whether your lived experience is actually improving. I also address fears around addiction, tolerance and more!

If this episode brought up a question you’ve always wondered about psychedelics, send me a DM on Instagram @JulieCyvonne or leave your question in the comments. I’ll be doing more of these myth busting Q & A episodes throughout the year. Share this episode with a friend who’s been curious about microdosing but unsure where to start, and make sure you’re following the show so you never miss a dose!

In today’s episode, I walk you through the microdosing protocols I use with my clients, my programs, and in my own personal practice. You will learn the most common microdosing protocols, who each one is best suited for, and why following a schedule is the key to seeing real, sustainable change.

We move through Fadiman’s protocol, the Microdosing Institute protocol, the Standards protocol, modified Stamets, intuitive dosing, and the higher-intensity “five-on two-off” schedule. You’ll hear which ones are best for beginners, which ones I recommend for anxiety, depression, migraines, or chronic pain, and which ones work best for people who need weekly consistency.

If you are curious about whether or not microdosing is the right path for you, you can DM me the word Journey on Instagram and I'll send you my two minute quiz to find out whether that is the path for you. Plus, be sure you are following the show so you never miss a dose!
