      Strongly recommend just sticking to shrooms if you want an hallucinogenic experience. I was given “acid" one time by someone I trusted (at the time) and it turned out too intense that the trip lasted for 24 hours. Can't really be sure what you're getting aside from shrooms. Cause I personally have never had a bad experience with mushrooms though.

    Hi Marie, love your work, the comments about hyper independence really rang a bell. Have been struggling with multiple stressors since mum passed suddenly and unexpectedly and like you I've kept saying I've got this, I can do it. However despite a reasonably balanced diet, regular exercise etc I have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes which was a shock. I am now researching how to reverse. Thank you for this podcast it has really been a signpost to a healthier me. I don't usually comment on anything so this is a BIG shift for me. Keep up the great work girl! Xx

      A bit of denial tho in minimising a huge shift in our bodies down to "dysregulation". Does she say the same about puberty? Because that's a very similar transition, just into reproductivity rather than out of it. I am sceptical. Seek other sources.

    fantastic interview!!! so great Marie and Team Marie, that you together are creating this content. I am still in the middle of listening to it but one thing jumped out to me and that is changing your diet, what you eat and what you don't eat and how you eat, that that is free and totally within your own control. In 2009 I got an autoimmune disease and soon after that started changing my diet to gluten and dairy-free (and I am still gluten and dairy-free up till now). I have experienced a lot of frustration and misunderstanding on my path of recovery, but that food and diet that was exactly where I always thought this is the part where I am totally in charge myself, I don't need anyone's permission, everything I need is available, and I can totally choose and decide myself. Also, a lot of information is available for free, on the internet, and otherwise very affordable by simply reading some books (and often free when you go to the old-fashioned library).

    YES! This is what happpens all the time in our lives- women have to fight and advocate for their own health and treatment. I'm going through perimenopausal quest now to find the right doctors to assist me through this. Also, elder care- that is an entire other issue that no one talks about enough in that the medical system wants to just throw pills at elderly people (because they complain a lot about pain, etc.) so they essentially drug them into submission so they will hush up and go away and not be the doctor's problem anymore. Sick and sad really- there is almost no real healthcare, it's sick care that makes you sicker if you just keep taking the piles of drugs they want to push.

    I’m so glad to hear two intelligent women talk about this subject. I was on a 5 year wild goose chase within the conventional medical system before I found my way to somatic healing modalities that helped me to heal the developmental and shock trauma that was the root cause beneath my dysregulation. One thing that has been particularly frustrating and painful for me is the gaslighting I’ve received from men in my life around my chronic health issues. I was literally told by a family member that I am “mentally ill, self-absorbed, and I’ve made a hobby out of being sick in order to get attention“. This new wave of autoimmune issues is more largely affecting women in their late 20s and above, so men, particularly in older generations, seem to have a hard time understanding this is a physiologically real issue for a large percentage of the population. I hope this continues to be a topic of conversation more well known by the mainstream. 🙏🏻✨

    After suffering from endometriosis for 25+ years, I was exhausted. Dr’s prescribed strong NSAIDS starting at age 13. I learned, the hard way, that NSAIDS, like ibprofin, are only to be taken 1-2x a 👏🏼 week 👏🏼. After decades of painful and unsuccessful treatments plus 4 laparoscopy surgeries (the BEST endo specialist I ever found, was in Atlanta, Georgia)
    5 years ago I started researching psilocybin and micodosing. I found that it relieved endometriosis pain and symptoms by %75. I also found it helped a huge increase in quality of life and relationships.
    Of course, I spoke with my primary care physician about it, and was surprised to find them to be very supportive. Unfortunately, the State I live in is far from making it accessible 😔

    Marie, I got lots of medical education when I was in grad school and doing research for 15 years at Emory Univ in Atlanta.
    So, I'm really glad to see that someone is pioneering this work on PINE system disregulation.
    I'm familiar with what's called "leaky gut," but the presumed causes didn't make sense to me.
    This woman DOES make sense!
    I am a little worried about her, though, because her voice doesn't sound very strong. She sounds very "whiney," and I just don't think it's her normal voice. Maybe I'm wrong?
    Please keep an eye on her, as a friend. Make sure she's aware of everything that's affecting her....

      @CindaMurphyRealEstate 3 місяці тому +1

      Microdosing doesn’t alter your mind. Any change is barely perceptible but the GOAL is NO perceptible change at all, you just feel better somehow. Taking too high of a micro dose is actually NOT pleasant or helpful so it only takes once to learn. If you take it too many days in a row, there won’t be any defect at all. So the average that people take it is 4 days a week.
      A microdose is NOT mind altering at all. I’ve heard people say they THINK they feel more creative but that can also be placebo. It’s a VERY VERY subtle change. I don’t know why she’s saying she feels “sparkly”. Never heard anyone say that.
      Also, microdosing is something only done for a several weeks or a few months. If it’s not helping, you naturally won’t take it anymore. If it’s helping, you won’t need to take it anymore. Mushrooms are non-addictive and by far, the most safe, least dangerous of all substances.

      It might be an interesting poker tell for a speaker to have a vocal fry, but this must be taken within a greater context of further evidence, in of itself doesn’t necessarily indicate inauthenticity.
      Further, tagging a useful substance that induces beneficial alterations in consciousness “dope” is another sort of poker tell.

      Hey Evelyn! Just like Marie shared in the video, sometimes letting folks know that you're going through this process can be helpful in making it successful. There are tons of ways to make it work and always remember progress over perfection :)
