- with Keegan Downer - From Addiction To Healing And The Magic Of Midlife Micro Dosing

In this episode, I’m joined by Keegan Downer for a fascinating, honest conversation about mushrooms, mental health, and what healing can look like when the usual paths are not enough.We talk about trauma, addiction, depression, anxiety, and how Keegan’s own story led him from deep personal struggle into building Mindful Meds and helping other people explore new possibilities for support and growth.We also get into psilocybin, microdosing, Lion’s Mane, natural supplements, and the science behind why mushrooms are getting so much attention right now.This one is such a helpful 101 conversation if you have been curious but did not know where to start. It is personal, hopeful, and full of those moments that make you think maybe healing can look different than you thought.Highlights:(03:34) - Keegan shares the childhood wounds that shaped his early life(08:26) - How microdosing first became part of his healing journey(14:50) - The study that made him realize this could help other people too(27:46) - Why the safety profile of mushrooms surprised me so much(32:01) - What psilocybin is actually doing in the brain(36:24) - Why this work can gently bring trauma to the surface to be processedConnect with Keegan:Website - https://mindfulmeds.io/LinkedIn - https://ca.linkedin.com/in/keegandownerInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/mindfulmeds_caFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/mindfulmeds.io/Qualia Mind - click hereCoupon Code: SHOCKANDYALL (15% off any purchase)Visit Nicole’s on demand fitness platform for live weekly classes and a recorded library of yoga, strength training, guided audio meditations and mobility (Kinstretch) classes, as well: https://www.sweatandstillness.comGrab Nicole’s bestselling children’s book and enter your email for A FREE GIFT: https://www.yolkedbook.comFind Nicole on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/nicolesciacca/Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thenicolesciaccaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/nicolesciaccayoga/Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1X8PPWCQa2werd4unex1eAPractice yoga with Nicole in person in Santa Monica, CA at Aviator Nation Ride.
