Brain Fitness Microdosing

Welcome to the world of microdosing, a practice that is transforming the way we approach our mental and physical health.

Microdosing emerged as a term in the pharmaceutical industry and refers to the use of as little as 1% of a standard drug dose.

Truffles are a natural source of psilocybin, a psychoactive substance with a rich history of use. When consumed, psilocybin is converted into psilocin, which crosses the blood-brain barrier to interact with serotonin receptors in the prefrontal cortex. Activation of the 5-HT2A receptors in this region leads to disruption of the default mode network (DMN).

The DMN is active when we are resting and engaged in self-referential thoughts, introspection, and mind wandering. Disabling the DMN through microdosing can disrupt negative thought patterns, shift focus to the present moment, and reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. This improved connectivity can contribute to overall emotional health and mental well-being.
