In this episode of Realfoodology, I sit down with registered dietitian Greer McGinnis, who specializes in autism, ADHD, and pediatrics. Greer shares her personal journey as a mother of a nonverbal child with autism and the effective strategies she used to help him find his voice. We explore the challenges parents face when navigating autism, the importance of nutrition, and the concerning issue of glyphosate exposure in children. This conversation is packed with valuable insights and practical tips that I think will really resonate with families facing similar situations.

Today’s guest is Paul Austin of Third Wave. This episode is all about microdosing psychedelics, so I guess this is a bit of a trigger warning. If this is something that you don't feel comfortable hearing about, talking about, discussing, then I would skip this episode, because we talk a lot about psilocybin. We talk about psychedelics as a whole, talk a lot about Paul Austin and his work with Third Wave, where their mission is to nurture the emerging psychedelic ecosystem by providing individuals with research-based education, access to vetted providers and membership in their global community, a safe space to ask questions, share experiences and connect with others on a similar journey.  Topics Discussed 07:39 - Paul Austin’s upbringing and origin in psychedelic work 13:45 - What someone can expect when they microdose 17:57 - Microdosing and LSD protocol 21:14 - Mental health benefits 26:58 - Dimming down the fear 28:28 - Unpacking Courtney’s experience and advice for first timers 32:56 - Building your own protocol 35:53 - Growing your own mushrooms with Third Wave 37:14 - The Microdosing Collective and policy changes 42:35 - Clinical research with MDMA and PTSD 44:50 - Old School approach towards drug exploration and psychedelic training 47:57 - How to find resources and assistance 51:03 - Who microdosing is right for 54:25 - Concerns about negative long term effects 56:43 - Connection your intuition with your psychedelic use 58:41 - “Mushroom hangover” 01:00:30 - Dopamine depletion 01:02:31 - Paul’s health non-negotiables Check Out Paul Austin Paul Austin Instagram Show Links: ThirdWave Website  ThirdWave Instagram ThirdWave Mushroom Grow Kit The Microdosing Collective Sponsored By: BIOptimizers Get your free bottle of magnesium breakthrough while supplies last at magbreakthrough.com/realfoodologyfree Qualia Go to Qualialife.com/REALFOODOLOGY for up to 50% off and use code REALFOODOLOGY at checkout for an additional 15% off.

Together, they uncover how healthcare, the fastest-growing industry, paradoxically leaves Americans sicker than ever, with 9 out of 10 leading causes of death linked to food. From the manipulation of media and politics to the insidious influence of big food, they dissect the intricate web of interests perpetuating our nation's health crisis.
