Create a Protocol That Works For You
Structure with Soul. Discipline with Devotion.
What Is a Microdosing Protocol?
A microdosing protocol is a conscious rhythm—a pattern of how much to take, how often, and for how long. It’s not just about dosage, it’s about relationship: with yourself, your nervous system, and the sacred ally you’re inviting into your life.
This is the practical container for your intention.
Most people beginning their microdosing journey ask:
🌀 How often should I microdose?
🌀 How much should I take?
While these are important questions, they only reveal part of the picture. The deeper inquiry is:
What rhythm honors my body, supports my intention, and integrates with my real life?

Two Well-Known Protocols to Begin With
The Fadiman Protocol (LSD or Psilocybin)
Dr. James Fadiman is a pioneer in psychedelic research. His method is known for its gentleness, clarity, and long-term sustainability.
Schedule: 1 day on / 2 days off
Example: Dose on Monday → Rest Tuesday & Wednesday → Dose again Thursday
📌 Benefits:
✔️ Prevents tolerance buildup
✔️ Provides “comparison” days to assess subtle changes
✔️ Integrates well into busy schedules
✔️ Ideal for emotional awareness, insight, and cognitive reset
The Stamets Protocol (Psilocybin, Lion’s Mane & Niacin)
Paul Stamets, renowned mycologist, created a “stacking” protocol that combines psilocybin with:
Lion’s Mane – A medicinal mushroom shown to support neurogenesis
Niacin (Vitamin B3) – Aids in the distribution of these compounds through vasodilation
Schedule: 5 days on / 2 days off
Example: Dose Monday–Friday, rest on the weekend
📌 Benefits:
✔️ Designed to support cognitive enhancement and brain regeneration
✔️ Especially beneficial for those healing from trauma or burnout
✔️ Enhances creativity, learning, and long-term memory
Recommended Dosage for Stamets Stack:
Psilocybin: 100–200mg (0.1–0.2g dried mushrooms)
Lion’s Mane: 50–200mg
Niacin: 100–200mg (may cause a temporary, itchy “flush”—optional to include)
Your biology, your intentions, and your lifestyle all matter. No protocol replaces your intuition.
Key Questions:
🔹 What’s your primary reason for microdosing? (Focus? Emotional healing? Creativity?)
🔹 Are you highly sensitive? Start lower, go slower.
🔹 Does your week offer space for reflection—or do you need more structure and routine?
🔹 What rhythm allows you to stay regulated, supported, and spacious?

Alternative Schedules to Explore
Every system is different. Here are flexible options beyond Fadiman and Stamets:
1 day on / 3 days off – Great for highly sensitive individuals
4 days on / 3 days off – A balanced, focused rhythm
1x per week – Deep reset for introspection and creative bursts
Cycle-based – Align with your menstrual or lunar cycle for deeper embodiment
✨ The best protocol is the one that works for you. Let data + intuition guide your refinement.
Sacred Practice > Daily Habit
Your protocol becomes more potent when paired with ritual. Microdosing isn't just a supplement—it’s an intentional relationship.
Anchor your microdosing with simple, soul-nourishing practices:
Breathwork
Journaling
Mindful movement or stretching
Meditation
Time in nature
These practices signal to your system that it’s safe to grow, shift, and expand.
Take Integration Breaks
After 4–12 weeks of consistent practice, pause for 3–6 weeks.
Let your system recalibrate. Let your insights settle. Remember: we’re not trying to become reliant. We’re training ourselves to thrive with or without the medicine.
Microdose vs. Macrodose: A Quick Clarifier
Microdose: ~100–200mg dried psilocybin (sub-perceptual, functional)
Macrodose: ~2–5g+ dried psilocybin (full psychedelic experience)
Microdosing is about enhancing your life as it is, expanding our capacity, cognition and strengthening our nervous system, not escaping life.
It supports the nervous system, boosts focus and clarity, opens creative channels, and fosters emotional resilience—when held with respect and intention.
