Welcome back to "The Microdose Diet" newsletter, your trusted source for achieving more success, passion, and happiness in your life and your career. 🍄 I am Peggy Van de Plassche, I spent 20 years in the financial services and technology industries. After discovering the magic of mushrooms for my own mental wellness and performance, I realized how powerful psilocybin could be for personal and professional transformation. This is how “The Microdose Diet” protocol was born. Find out more at the bottom. Happy Reading!
Hello Microdose Diet Enthusiasts!
A couple of months ago I was introduced to the wonderful Dr. Suzanne, a leading physician specializing in obstetrics, gynecology, and integrative medicine. As it happens sometimes the conversation flew by and I definitely wanted more! Thankfully the fabulous team at the Open:Minds Expo reunited us for a panel on Women’s Health and Psychedelics. Still, it was not enough! It felt that I was just scratching the surface of all the wonderful reflections and knowledge Suzanne had in store. To only name one of those, her perspective on communities’ importance and how they are leading the medical establishment to push the boundaries is really enlightening (and refreshing!)
Luck stroke again and she agreed to be interviewed for The Microdose Diet podcast! I highly recommend you to watch or listen to this remarkable conversation with Dr. Suzanne. In this edition she shared her wealth of knowledge about menopause, women's health, and the evolving role of psychedelics in healthcare.
I also highly recommend Suzanne’s book: Menopause Boot Camp.
👩Exploring the Intersection of Psychedelics and Women's Health
Dr. Suzanne has observed significant shifts in the conversation around psychedelics, particularly in relation to women’s health. The legalization of cannabis has paved the way for more open discussions about other psychoactive plants and their potential benefits. Dr. Suzanne emphasized that the dialogue on women's health topics, such as sexual health, pregnancy, and menopause, has grown exponentially over the past 25 years.
🍄Psychedelics: A Promising Tool for Menopausal Symptoms
During menopause, women often face mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, and panic, largely due to hormonal shifts. Dr. Suzanne highlighted that while antidepressants are a common tool, they shouldn't be the only option. Psychedelics, particularly microdosing, show promise in managing these symptoms by promoting neuroplasticity and improving mental health.
🔬Addressing the Research Gap in Women's Health
Dr. Suzanne discussed the historical lack of research on women's health, particularly how estrogen affects the brain before and after menopause. Until very recently, most clinical trials didn't include women, leading to a significant gap in our understanding. However, groundbreaking research is now being conducted, such as the whole mushroom psilocybin studies at Ohio State, focusing on women’s health.
