Microdosing is more of a therapeutic dose allowing one to defrag their mind, a reset. Psychedelic support allows you to feel the issue but not re-experience it as you do through typical therapy. ●   There are many regulated drugs that we don’t understand how they affect our brains or how they work, but we know they do work. There is still a lot to be learned in the psychedelic space, but it’s been shown time and time again to be valuable. ●   Start low and slow with microdosing to find your best dose. And determine your best frequency, typically it’s a cycle of days on and off. ●   If experimenting with macrodosing/psychedelics, do it with safe people, who have experienced it before, and that you genuinely like. Ensure that you are controlling the environment. Before using psychedelics: think about what's going on in your life, journal, receive advice from others, clean up your diet, and do a digital detox. Clear yourself of the garbage beforehand. After,  process what you learned and how you will apply it to your life.QUOTES:“We wanted to create a company that instead of focusing on a minus six to zero bringing people up to baseline, we wanted to create a company that focused on the zero to six. How do we elevate, how do we improve, and how do we give people the tools to optimize their day-to-day health and wellness? We call it the betterment of the well.”  - Peter Reitano “We looked at why people are microdosing which I talked about starting with mood, energy, focus, clarity, creativity, cognitive enhancements and we wanted to replicate that in a form that was legal.” - Daniel Sanders “If purity wasn’t an issue, to be honest, I think that MDMA is the easiest first step into “psychedelics” it’s an entactogen that generates this incredible feeling of oneness and communion and empathy with others, but it doesn't have heavy hallucinations, it's quite tough to have negative thoughts” - Peter ReitanoRESOURCES:Become A Member of Salad with a Side of FriesJenn’s Free Menu PlanA Salad With a Side of FriesA Salad With a Side of Fries InstagramGUEST RESOURCES: MOJO Website COUPON CODE: WFRIES20 for 20% offGwella Mushrooms WebsitePeter Reitano’s TwitterDaniel Sanders’ LinkedInBIO:Peter Reitano:Peter is an award-winning entrepreneur and CEO of Gwella, a brand house and life sciences company on a mission to make psychedelics more accessible and help people use them safely and effectively.
