I'm a researcher specializing in the intersection of microdosing, ADHD, and neuroscience. I have ADHD myself and I'm a mother of two teenagers—one with special needs. I developed this expertise initially to support my son, which led me deep into studying how brains actually work. Thousands of hours later, I co-host the Psychedelic Revelations podcast with Dana Harvey and write the Wendy Goes Deep Substack focused on neuroscience research. My approach is grounded in research and evidence, not wellness trends.
My framework for microdosing with ADHD is based on metabolic ecology rather than the traditional "chemical imbalance" model. ADHD symptoms arise from dysregulated systems running on depleted body budgets, not just low dopamine. This means effective microdosing protocols must account for your specific goals, your internal state, your external environment, and your intention before considering substance and dosing. Generic protocols fail because they start with the substance. Personalized protocols work because they start with you.
Traditional research models are limited in their ability to monitor and coordinate individual effects. Every cohort I run contributes to research on personalized microdosing protocols for ADHD. I'm committed to collecting and putting citizen science research into the hands of the people who need it. Whether you're here for free resources, ready to develop your protocol, or need ongoing support as an entrepreneur, my mission is the same: rigorous, evidence-based guidance that respects the complexity of your ADHD brain, and that pleasure, purpose, joy, and curiosity are the foundations for a successful life.
Some people do experience benefits from microdosing on their own—but many don't, and they don't know why. The research shows wildly inconsistent results because they're testing substances instead of accounting for their unique ADHD presentation, goals, or metabolic state.
What looks like "microdosing doesn't work for me" is often a mismatch between substance, dose, timing, and context. Support helps you design a protocol specific to YOUR brain and YOUR life, rather than guessing your way through trial and error. It also provides accountability for consistent tracking, which is where the real learning happens.
Many people in the cohort are on ADHD medication. The program doesn't require you to change your current medication approach—your protocol development accounts for your medication status as part of your overall context.
I'm not a healthcare provider and I don't give medical advice. For questions about potential interactions between specific medications and specific substances, I recommend consulting with specialists who focus on this intersection, like Trina the Dharmacist or Ben Malcolm the Spirit Pharmacist. They offer consultations specifically on medications and psychedelics.
It's worth noting that most doctors cannot legally discuss illegal substances with you—they can lose their license for giving advice on controlled substances, and it's not taught in medical school. So if you're working with illegal substances, a traditional medical professional may not be able to help you. Specialists like Trina and Ben exist specifically to fill this gap.
First, it's important to understand that microdosing is a method—the practice of taking very small amounts of a substance—not a substance itself. While microdosing is often associated with classic psychedelics like psilocybin and LSD, the method applies to many substances.
Many participants in the program are professionals—lawyers, teachers, nurses, medical professionals—who are interested in learning what substances could help their ADHD within their legal and professional constraints. Because of this, the program explores a wide range of psychoactive substances, not just classic psychedelics.
We review research on substances that have been shown to help ADHD symptoms, including legal plant allies like blue lotus, pink lotus, amanita, red lotus, and others, as well as classic psychedelics like psilocybin, LSD, and various forms of mescaline. The goal is to help you understand what the research shows about different options so you can make informed decisions about what's accessible, legal, and appropriate for your situation.
I don't provide substances. You're responsible for sourcing and legal compliance in your area. The program focuses on education, research, and personalized protocol development across the full spectrum of possibilities.
Most microdosing programs focus on teaching you how to work with one specific substance—usually psilocybin or LSD. My program is substance-agnostic. We explore what the research shows about different substances (both psychedelic and legal plant allies) so you can make informed decisions about what aligns with your goals, your circumstances, and your comfort level.
This isn't about me telling you what to do. It's about sharing the knowledge and research I've gathered so you can develop a protocol that makes sense for YOU—or even decide that microdosing isn't the right choice for you right now. The focus is on informed decision-making and personalized protocol development, not following a generic schedule.
Legal status varies widely by location and substance. While we discuss psychedelics in the program, we also explore legal plant allies available in most places. You're responsible for understanding and complying with laws in your area. I provide education and protocol development support, not legal advice.
Some participants are in areas where certain substances are decriminalized or legal. Some participants live in different countries. Part of developing your protocol is making informed decisions about what's accessible and appropriate for your situation.
This is actually common and often comes down to protocol mismatch. Maybe the substance didn't align with your goals, the dose was off for your sensitivity, the schedule didn't account for your life rhythm, or your body budget was too depleted to benefit. The cohort helps you understand what didn't work and why, then design a protocol that accounts for those factors. Many people who had negative or neutral experiences with DIY microdosing find success with a personalized approach.
