Microdosing for Menopause: The Science, Spirit & Healing Power of Psilocybin with Trip Home Founders

Microdosing for Menopause: The Science, Spirit & Healing Power of Psilocybin with Trip Home Founders

Author: Dr. Taz MD October 21, 2025 Duration: 57:54

Menopause isn’t just a biological transition - it’s an awakening. In this Hol+ episode, Dr. Taz sits down with Kelly McGinty and Dr. Patricia Singh, co-founders of Trip Home and co-authors of “My Solo P: Uncovering the Magic of Menopause through Psilocybin,” to explore how psychedelic-assisted therapy and holistic healing are reshaping the way we talk about women’s health, mental well-being, and midlife transformation.

Together, they dive into the science and spirituality of psilocybin, how microdosing and medicinal mushrooms can support emotional balance, and why this powerful approach is giving women permission to reclaim joy, presence, and purpose.

From the challenges of legal access and stigma to deeply personal stories of healing from burnout, trauma, and self-judgment, this conversation invites us to see menopause not as an ending - but as an initiation into freedom, wisdom, and wholeness.

Dr. Taz, Kelly, and Dr. Singh discuss:

  • The intersection of science, spirit, and women’s health
  • How psychedelics and psilocybin therapy can ease menopause symptoms and emotional transitions
  • Healing from trauma, burnout, and identity loss
  • Safe and ethical practices for microdosing and harm reduction
  • The power of self-awareness, community, and holistic self-care

Whether you’re curious about psychedelics, navigating menopause, or seeking new paths to mental health and balance, this episode is a roadmap to rediscovery and transformation.

Tune into hol+ with Dr. Taz MD | The Future of Medicine is Holistic for a conversation that moves beyond conventional wellness talk. Hosted by Dr. Taz MD, this podcast operates from a simple yet profound premise: true health isn't found in a single pill or diagnosis, but in the intricate connection between our biology, our lifestyle, and our emotional world.

Instead, they can be woven together into a practical, personalized approach to caring for the whole person.
