Thank you this is great and thorough@SFDom415 I'm not actually support to talk about 'recs' on EVO but this is a medical case, so I'll do a short write up for you below:
The topic of using substances like ketamine or psilocybin mushrooms (often referred to in the context of "microdosing") for therapeutic purposes is quite intriguing and has been the subject of increasing research and discussion in recent years (I personally studied it on and off). These substances are believed by some researchers to offer potential benefits for certain mental health conditions, such as depression, anxiety, and PTSD, through mechanisms that might include the repair or growth of neuronal connections, among other effects. The theory you mentioned about repairing worn-out connections in the brain aligns with some of the hypotheses being explored in scientific studies. (I will cite a few studies below)
Ketamine, for instance, has been approved in a nasal spray form for treatment-resistant depression in the United States, indicating a level of recognition for its therapeutic potential under specific conditions. Similarly, research into psilocybin mushrooms has shown promising results for depression and anxiety, especially in cases where patients have not responded well to traditional treatments.
The conversation around microdosing, particularly with psilocybin, often includes anecdotal reports of improved mood, creativity, and cognitive function, yet scientific research in this area is still in the early stages.
Studies on the topic:
Ketamine for Depression:
A study published in the "American Journal of Psychiatry" in 2019 found that ketamine significantly reduced depression symptoms in patients who had not responded to at least two other forms of treatment. The study highlighted ketamine's rapid action in alleviating symptoms, often within hours or days, which is a significant advantage over traditional antidepressants that may take weeks to become effective. Reference: JAMA Psychiatry, "Efficacy of Intravenous Ketamine for Treatment of Chronic Posttraumatic Stress Disorder: A Randomized Clinical Trial," 2019.
Psilocybin for Depression and Anxiety:
Research published in "The New England Journal of Medicine" and "JAMA Psychiatry" in 2020 presented findings from a randomized controlled trial comparing psilocybin with a conventional antidepressant (escitalopram) for the treatment of depression. The study found that psilocybin was as effective as escitalopram in reducing depression symptoms, suggesting it could be a viable alternative treatment. Additionally, a 2016 study in the "Journal of Psychopharmacology" found that a single dose of psilocybin significantly reduced depression and anxiety symptoms in cancer patients, with effects lasting up to six months. References: NEJM, "Trial of Psilocybin versus Escitalopram for Depression," 2020; Journal of Psychopharmacology, "Rapid and sustained symptom reduction following psilocybin treatment for anxiety and depression in patients with life-threatening cancer: a randomized controlled trial," 2016.
Mechanisms of Action:
Studies investigating the mechanisms by which ketamine and psilocybin exert their effects suggest that both substances may promote neuroplasticity—the brain's ability to form new neural connections—potentially explaining their therapeutic benefits. Ketamine, for instance, has been shown to increase the levels of a neurotransmitter called glutamate, which then stimulates the growth of synapses, essentially rewiring parts of the brain that are involved in mood regulation. Psilocybin appears to decrease activity in the brain's default mode network, a network thought to play a role in self-referential thoughts and the ego, which could be why it's effective in treating conditions like depression and anxiety. Reference: Nature, "Ketamine and Future Depression Treatments," 2019; Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, "Psilocybin produces substantial and sustained decreases in depression and anxiety in patients with life-threatening cancer," 2016.
Thank you Sir im gonna order another crazy colors one@SFDom415 good workout , add some volume but nice start
tight I like the waist you leaning out and it's UP yes![]()
Ok Sir When you say add volume does that mean more Sets or more reps or more weight?@SFDom415 good workout , add some volume but nice start
tight I like the waist you leaning out and it's UP yes![]()
@SFDom415 more reps, higher reps less weight = more fat loss and more muscle tightness, Arnold pump style.Ok Sir When you say add volume does that mean more Sets or more reps or more weight?
Long term I think microdosing works better than any anti depressant pills imoThank you this is great and thoroughand very much matches what therapist said ( he’s not a medical doc but he is amazing also well versed in our local kink BDSM community which is a big plus and also a place for breakthroughs)
Thank you for this extensive
Thank you Sir im gonna order another crazy colors one
Just like it. Makes working out more fun.
Yes Sir@SFDom415 more reps, higher reps less weight = more fat loss and more muscle tightness, Arnold pump style.

@SFDom415 high rep volume is literally the best way for full muscle bellies.Yes Sirfeel less prone to injury doing lighter weight high rep as well when trainer isn’t there. had a lot more in the tank but without someone standing there making me do it I won’t push.
you're back in action thats why, and its looking really nice , you take the best pics tooWell Sirs Hubby, therapist, and trainer all wondering what’s gotten into me lately.

Bad news miss B needs a new clutch already I’m not sure if it was going when I got it or if I messed it up But I guess it’s “ slipping” whatever that means it doesn't feel right all
———-
did my extra work out AND went for a hike Lands End -Sea cliff mansions and baker beach full length and back. I did not climb the sand ladder.
——
—Therapist assignment was a joy list. I realized all week I couldn’t make one was cuz I don’t know what it is. Everything I come up with is pleasure not joy. But then walking my beach, with the headlands across and gg bridge and the pounding surf and the happy San Franciscans and dogs and the sunset I’d seen a million times I realized in that moment that I didn’t want to be anyone else. I didn’t want to be anywhere else and didn’t want to do anything else. There was the joy. That’s what it is. It was a sudden emotional moment( il blame daddy Tren)
So I’m waking with moist eyes when I came across more joy. lol 3 pretty Latin queens doing a speedo photo shoot… all stopping to watch me walk by. So I made a point to tell them “ it all looked good to me “ which got a very positive response. And then the looks back over the shoulder. I should have turned around and went back but, I’m almost out if trimix.
——-
Then I was cold and hungry and tired and wound up at our fav Italian place in the castro So good. Yes I had pasta But with spicy sausage and big meatballs full of protein. ( my other food today was eggs and black beans .
Considering how much activity today plus a big session tomorrow I think it was acceptable ( fresh everything)
so many pics I don’t know how to narrow them down. But I’ll try to give the best overall idea of how amazing this place is.
I was thinking of all of you the entire time. ( except that one pretty moment)
Have you ever fallen asleep on the beach to to sound of pounding surf.
