1. Fadiman Protocol
(also known as the Beginners Protocol)
DAY 1: Microdosing day
DAY 2: Off
DAY 3: Off

3. Intuitive microdosing
Another way of microdosing is to do it entirely intuitively, with only one rule: you always leave at least one day between the days you take a microdose.
People who have followed any kind of microdosing protocol for one or two cycles often switch to a more intuitive way of microdosing.
Recommendations
Here's a set of recommendations to follow when starting
a microdosing regimen using one fadiman’s or stamet protocol.
Morning Routine:
Take the microdose pill first thing in the morning on an empty stomach,
This helps set a consistent routine for dosing.
Avoid Food & Coffee:
After taking the microdose,
refrain from consuming food or coffee for the first hour.
This can help maximize the absorption and effects of the microdose.
Set Intentions:
Before each dose, set positive intentions for the day.
This can help guide your mindset and focus during the experience.

Incorporate healthy habits into your routine, such as regular exercise and nutritious meals.
A healthy body and mind can enhance the benefits of microdosing.

During the 4-week microdosing period, it's advisable to avoid alcohol consumption.
