Flex Diet Podcast Episode 324: Exploring Microdosing: Benefits, Research, and Personal Experiences
In this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I sit down with Dr. James Fadiman and Jordan Gruber to talk all things microdosing—what it is, what it isn’t, and why it’s gaining so much traction in health, performance and even mental clarity.
We dig into their new book, Microdosing for Healing, Health, and Enhanced Performance, and cover everything from the history of psychedelics to the latest research and how people are using tiny doses of these compounds to potentially improve cognitive function, mood and physical performance.
We also talk about personal experience—what they’ve seen, what they’ve felt, and what they’ve learned along the way. Of course, none of this is medical advice. These substances still live in legal gray zones depending on where you are, so proceed with caution and do your homework.
If you’re curious about the science and the real-world implications of microdosing, this episode is a must-listen. Let’s get into it.
