Why Lifestyle Matters During Psychedelic Sessions
Lifestyle plays a crucial role in promoting both physical and mental health. You are one whole. And when there are parts that are not going so well, that affects the rest. The easiest and most recognizable example of this is the influence of nutrition on your body. When your diet is not optimal and actually contains too many unhealthy items, we know that there is a chance that we will gain weight. However, nutrition also has a major influence on how you feel mentally. For example, when you consume too many carbohydrates per day, the chance of depression, stress and anxiety is more than 23% greater than when you take this into account.
And there are more connections to be made between various mental issues and daily habits. In addition, certain neurotransmitters and a proper balance in these also have a direct influence on the course of the session.
We therefore try to balance GABA, serotonin, dopamine and, for example, acetylcholine together with you to increase the chance of a positive session.
Because limiting the risks during a session should mainly be done in the preliminary phase, a healthy(er) basis is essential. But also for the longer term!
It is also possible that you will notice positive changes in your daily life due to the changes in other areas. When you sleep better, eat more consciously or do some breathing exercises, you can experience more peace quite quickly.
Setting an intention in advance and good integration afterwards also help ensure that you can make the lasting changes that you so desperately deserve!
Lifestyle changes can have significant health benefits. The impact of lifestyle changes is significant and includes both physical and mental health aspects. Below you can read some important benefits:
1. Prevention of chronic diseases: A healthy lifestyle, which includes eating a balanced diet, getting regular exercise and getting enough sleep, can help prevent chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease and certain types of cancer. Research shows that a diet rich in vegetables, fruits, nuts, eggs, whole grains and healthy fats, combined with regular physical activity, can significantly reduce the risk of these diseases.
2. Improved mental health: Lifestyle changes also have a positive impact on mental health. Regular exercise has been linked to reduced symptoms of depression and anxiety. Physical activity stimulates the release of endorphins, known as the “happy hormones.” In addition, a healthy diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants can contribute to improved mood and cognitive function.
Limiting refined carbohydrates results in fewer fluctuations in blood sugar, which in turn influence the body's stress and anxiety response.
3. Weight management: Losing weight and keeping it off is impossible without proper eating habits and increasing daily exercise. Overweight and obesity are risk factors for many health problems, including heart disease, diabetes and joint problems. By adopting a healthy lifestyle, we can effectively manage weight.
4. Increased energy and vitality: A healthy lifestyle can lead to increased energy levels. Good nutrition and regular exercise improve metabolism and make the body function more efficiently, resulting in more energy throughout the day.
5. Improved sleep quality: Making small lifestyle changes, such as reducing caffeine intake or being mindful of when you drink coffee, being more mindful of screen time in the hours before bed, and creating a regular sleep routine, can all help improve sleep quality. Sufficient, quality sleep is essential for recovery, cognitive function, and emotional stability.
