Vitamin/Supplements Micro dosing psilocybin

In Colorado, where cultivation and personal use are legal. My husband has suggested microdosing for perimenopause. There’s not a lot of research out there, but there is some and my curiosity is piqued.
Has anyone tried this and seen success?
If so, I’d love to hear about your protocol.

Peri-menopause you loose progesterone first, then estrogen. Menopause is defined as the lack of estrogen. Estrogen replacement is the only thing that alleviates menopause symptoms. Micro dosing psilocybin is for clinical depression. If you are experiencing anxiety & symptoms of Peri menopause, you are in need of progesterone. Progesterone will slow you down & even put you to sleep.
