Microdosing for Anxiety and Chronic Pain When Nothing Else Is Working

In this episode I sit down with my first guest on The Inner Trip, Anna, to have a real conversation about microdosing psilocybin, chronic pain, anxiety, and what it feels like to do everything “right” and still not feel okay. Anna shares her experience navigating years of unexplained physical pain, endless doctor visits, a fibromyalgia diagnosis, and relying on prescriptions that never addressed the root cause. With no prior background in plant medicine, microdosing became a last-resort “why not” decision that ultimately helped her find more stability, clarity, and emotional regulation.We talk about what microdosing actually feels like, why it is far more subtle than most people expect, and how it supports the nervous system rather than removing life’s challenges. Anna explains why integration is everything, how the habits she built during microdosing continue to support her even during long breaks, and why living by your values can become one of the most powerful integration tools. This episode offers a grounded, science-backed look at microdosing without hype or shortcuts.If you’ve been curious about microdosing or feel stuck despite trying everything else, I hope this episode will help you understand what’s possible when you stop chasing fixes and start working with your nervous system instead.
