It is recommended to take the microdose according to a specific schedule stating how often and when you take the microdose. This is called a protocol.
"Enter the fascinating world of microdosing, where minute amounts can make a world of difference to your overall and mental well-being.
In this article, we take you on a journey through five different microdosing protocols, with the famous 'Fadiman Protocol' being just the beginning. Find out how these protocols can help you maximise the benefits of microdosing, while also learning why it is crucial to take occasional breaks for lasting impact. Let's begin the journey towards a better understanding of microdosing and its potential for personal growth."
- Fadiman Protocol
The Fadiman Protocol (also known as the "starter protocol") is perhaps the most well-known and has served as the gateway to the world of microdosing for many. This protocol, named after Dr James Fadiman, creates a three-day cyclical pattern:
Day 1: Dose Day - On this day, take a microdose of truffles.
Day 2: Transition day - The transition day is meant to integrate any effects of dosing and note observations.
Day 3: Normal - This is a day without dosing to restore normality.
Day 4: Dosage Day - The cycle repeats for a period of eight weeks.
After eight weeks of microdosing, it is recommended to take a break of two to four weeks to reset and avoid tolerance so that the and power of microdosing is maintained.
This protocol offers a two-day rhythm that may be beneficial for people who prefer a less frequent approach. The every-the-day protocol goes as follows:
- The Everyday Protocol
Day 1: Dose Day - This is where you take the microdose.
Day 2: Transition day - You use the next day to integrate the effects.
Day 3: Dosage Day - The cycle repeats and continues every other day.
Again, a break of two to four weeks is recommended after eight weeks for optimal results. - The Intuitive Protocol
For those with previous experience in microdosing and a deeper understanding of their personal needs, the intuitive protocol offers flexibility. Here, you rely on your inner compass:
Day 1: Dose Day - You choose when to dose, depending on your needs.
Day 2: Transition day - As with other protocols, use this day to integrate.
Day 3: Normal - This is where you return to your usual routine.
Again, a two-week break after eight weeks is recommended to maintain the effects of microdosing. - The Medical Purposes Protocol
For those considering microdosing to address specific medical conditions such as depression, burnout, anxiety, ADHD/ADD and migraines, the medical purposes protocol provides a structured approach:
Day 1: Dose Day - This is the day you take a microdose.
Day 2: Transition day - On this day, you integrate the effects.
Day 3: Dosage Day - The cycle repeats. - The Sleeping Hat Protocol
For those who want to combat daytime fatigue and still benefit from microdosing, the Sleep Hat Protocol is a unique approach:
Fadiman Protocol, dose 1 hour before bedtime - Instead of dosing during the day, take a microdose according to the Fadiman Protocol about an hour before bedtime.
It is essential to choose the protocol that best suits your needs and lifestyle. Regardless of the protocol you choose, it is crucial to take a break over time to avoid tolerance and maintain the effectiveness of microdosing.
