Breaking "Wine O'Clock": Psilocybin, Saffron, Microdosing and Upgrading Women's Mental Health with Keegan Downer

Breaking "Wine O'Clock": Psilocybin, Saffron, Microdosing and Upgrading Women's Mental Health with Keegan Downer

Keegan Downer (Founder of mindfulMEDS) shares how he went from alcohol addiction and a near-suicidal breaking point, to recovery and to building one of Canada's most recognized microdosing education brands, and why psilocybin doesn't have to be "woo."

We also get super practical: What microdosing actually feels like day-to-day, why it can hit women differently (especially moms), how psilocybin compares to SSRIs (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor) when it comes to emotional processing, and why "wine o'clock" culture is quietly keeping so many women stuck in a stress-and-numb cycle.
