Menopause came with the typical symptoms – insomnia, hot flashes, weight gain, brain fog etc… So many super fun moments. What I didn’t expect were the mental challenges – debilitating anxiety, depression, grief, and heightened PTSD.
After trying many other options, I experimented with microdosing psilocybin, or magic mushrooms, and documented the process. I wrote for Chatelaine Magazine about placing myself in the middle of a social-emotional experiment.
Those of you who know me know that I am justifiably terrified of illicit drug use, so this brought its own challenges. I believe women (and everyone) should have all kinds of health options available.
