📣 WEBINAR ALERT: Microd*s!ng & Medications - A Pharmacist’s Guide to Safety with @spiritpharmacist Did you know that more than 1 in 5 adults receive mental health treatment, including prescription medication or therapy? As interest in microd*s!ng for mental health continues to grow, one of the most common questions we hear is: “Is it safe to microd*se alongside my current medications?” We’re excited to welcome special guest Ben Malcolm, PharmD, MPH, for a conversation exploring the intersection of microd*s!ng and psychiatric medications, including what current research says about safety and efficacy, key interactions to be aware of, and how to approach this practice through a harm reduction lens. 🗓️ Thursday, May 21st, 2026 💬 60 minutes with live Q&A 👇 Drop a comment and we’ll DM you the registration link (or click the link in bio) Can’t make it live?

Sometimes the story becomes: “I need another journey to access this.” But what if the real work is learning to stay with what’s already here? In the latest episode of The Psychedelic Podcast, Heather Smith explores how that belief can form, and how practitioners can gently shift it.

Meta just restricted our ads account because we promoted a training about… Meta restricting, banning, and shutting down psychedelic accounts. The irony isn’t lost on us. These days, psychedelic content is getting flagged more and more by new AI-mediated algorithms. At the same time, payment processors are suddenly freezing accounts on similar grounds. New AI & privacy legislation is about to alter how practitioners store client information and run their sessions. Whether you’re already practicing or considering it, knowing about these developments isn’t optional. To proactively protect your practice and clients, join us live at the training this Thursday. Our attorney, Victoria J. Cvitanovic, will discuss legal changes with Paul Austin, and they’ll explain what they mean for the future of your practice. It’s rare that Victoria, the leader of both a psychedelic law practice group and an AI governance practice group, shares this depth of information for free. We hope you join us and start making changes now (before you have to reactively seek legal counsel). Comment AI for the link to sign up.

IFS isn’t just something you “do” in a session. Even when it’s not practiced throughout a psychedelic experience, it offers a framework for how to relate to whatever arises… before, during, and after. In this clip, Heather Smith shares how parts can still be active in expanded states, and why that matters for how we navigate them.

Many veterans first discovered ibogaine through addiction recovery. But today, researchers and clinicians are also exploring its potential role in addressing traumatic brain injury and the neurological impact of blast exposure. On The Psychedelic Podcast, Jonathan Dickinson explains how growing demand from Special Forces veterans helped shape the mission behind Ambio Life Sciences. From The Psychedelic Podcast #347.

Microdosing and macrodosing are often treated as separate tools. But with careful practice, they can work together as part of a coherent coaching framework. Comment WATCH and I’ll send you a link for the full video, where I break down how microdosing and high-dose experiences can be integrated with skill and care.

What happens when the systems that once suppressed these medicines start to embrace them? This moment isn’t just about policy…it’s about culture, belief, and who gets to define what healing looks like.

How can I best support others by meeting them where they are in such a way that they experience a welcoming and empowering invitation into their next dimension or level of personal growth and development? This is the question that Dr. Fleet Maull returns to again and again in his life and work. His frameworks and methods get to the heart of this work: care, embodied presence, and nervous system regulation. These have been among the guiding qualities of the Psychedelic Coaching Institute since its founding. Now, you are invited to join the next cohort of the Microdosing Practitioner Certification: Our training for aspiring practitioners & established coaches who want to add an in-demand specialty to their practice. Fleet will be joining us as a guest faculty member for this upcoming cohort. Comment APPLY for the link to apply.

Most microdosing practitioners listen to a client’s goals and then select the substance for their protocol. This is an approach that is less than ideal. Your client’s goals tell you what they think they want to change. But their physiology paints a more accurate picture, reflecting deeper needs and what they can metabolize at this time. For example, a founder who has been in sympathetic overdrive for three years may ask for sharper focus. As their well-meaning coach, you might suggest LSD microdosing… and then watch helplessly as it adds more chaos and erratic patterning to an already overwhelmed system. When you can reliably read clients’ physiological signals, then and only then can you make wise substance selections. We teach this in detail in our Microdosing Practitioner Certification, the Psychedelic Coaching Institute’s training for aspiring practitioners & those who want to add an in-demand specialty to their practice. Huachuma microdosing, specifically my signature protocol for the nervous system, is my choice for the certification’s guided journey. All practitioners must complete their own 6-week journey with Huachuma (aka San Pedro) before they are certified to share microdosing with others. It’s one of the many aspects that make this program unique, as well as the fastest path to becoming a prepared, credible practitioner.
