MICRODOSING: BREAKTHROUGH OR DANGEROUS TREND? | Alicia Vera Garcia
What if the thing millions of people are searching for isn't another medication, supplement, or productivity hack—but a completely different relationship with their own mind?
Microdosing psychedelics has quietly moved from the fringes into mainstream conversations about anxiety, burnout, ADHD, depression, creativity, trauma recovery, and human performance. Entrepreneurs swear by it. Therapists are studying it. Critics call it hype. Supporters call it life-changing.
So what's really happening?
In this episode of the Crackin' Backs Podcast, we sit down with Alicia Vera Garcia, founder of The Microdosing Coach, ACT therapist, and one of Europe's leading voices in psychedelic education and microdosing guidance, to explore the science, psychology, controversy, and deeper philosophy behind one of the fastest-growing movements in modern wellness.
Together we unpack:
* What microdosing actually is—and what it isn't
* How psychedelics may affect the brain, nervous system, and behavior
* The biggest misconceptions and risks people rarely discuss
* Microdosing vs medication, therapy, and wellness culture
* Why so many high performers are turning to psychedelics
* The surprising connection between healing, discomfort, and self-awareness
* Whether microdosing is truly transformational—or simply another shortcut people are chasing
Most importantly, Alicia challenges us to ask a deeper question:
Are we trying to optimize ourselves… or reconnect with ourselves?
Whether you're curious about psychedelics, skeptical of the hype, interested in mental health, or simply searching for a more meaningful approach to healing, this conversation will leave you thinking long after the episode ends.
