In this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I sit down with Dr. James Fadiman and Jordan Gruber to talk all things microdosing—what it is, what it isn’t, and why it’s gaining so much traction in health, performance and even mental clarity. We dig into their new book, Microdosing for Healing, Health, and Enhanced Performance , and cover everything from the history of psychedelics to the latest research and how people are using tiny doses of these compounds to potentially improve cognitive function, mood and physical performance. We also talk about personal experience—what they’ve seen, what they’ve felt, and what they’ve learned along the way. Of course, none of this is medical advice. These substances still live in legal gray zones depending on where you are, so proceed with caution and do your homework. If you’re curious about the science and the real-world implications of microdosing, this episode is a must-listen. Let’s get into it.

Welcome back to the Flex Diet Podcast. I'm your host, Dr. Mike T. Nelson. In this episode, I’m excited to announce that the Physiologic Flexibility Certification will be open from March 17th to March 24th, 2025. I’ll also be heading to Parker University Talks in Las Vegas, where I’ll be speaking alongside some incredible experts in the field. Today, we’re diving deep into Physiologic Flexibility—the key to upgrading your performance by targeting homeostatic regulators like temperature, pH balance, expanded fuel sources, and oxygen/CO₂ regulation. These elements are critical for adapting to stress and pushing your resilience to the next level. I’ll discuss practical applications for exercise, nutrition, and sleep and how to strategically apply stress to become more antifragile. Whether you’re into high-tech solutions or prefer simple, low-tech methods, this episode has actionable insights to help you maximize your recovery and performance.
