Why lifestyle is important during psychedelic sessions
Lifestyle plays a crucial role in promoting both physical and mental health. You are a whole. And when some aspects aren't functioning well, it affects the rest. The easiest and most recognizable example of this is the influence of nutrition on your body. When your diet isn't optimal and contains too many unhealthy items, we know we're likely to gain weight. However, nutrition also has a significant impact on your mental well-being. For example, if you consume too many carbohydrates per day, your risk of depression, stress, and anxiety is significantly higher than if you take these factors into account.
And there are even more connections between various mental issues and daily habits. Furthermore, certain neurotransmitters and their proper balance also directly influence 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 risk mitigation during a session is primarily a preliminary process, a healthy foundation is essential. This is also true for the long term!
It's also possible that you'll already notice positive changes in your daily life due to changes in other areas. If you sleep better, eat more mindfully, or practice a few breathing exercises, you can quickly experience more peace.
Setting your intentions beforehand and integrating them effectively afterwards will also help you achieve the lasting changes you so richly deserve!
Lifestyle changes can bring significant health benefits. The impact of lifestyle changes is significant and encompasses both physical and mental health aspects. Below are some key benefits:
1. Prevention of chronic diseasesA healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular exercise, and adequate sleep, can help prevent chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular 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 healthLifestyle changes also have a positive impact on mental health. Regular exercise is linked to a reduction in symptoms of depression and anxiety. Physical activity stimulates the release of endorphins, known as the "happiness 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 reduces blood sugar fluctuations, which also influence the body's stress and anxiety response.
3. Weight managementLosing weight and keeping it off is impossible without proper eating habits and increasing daily exercise. Overweight and obesity are risk factors for numerous health problems, including heart disease, diabetes, and joint problems. By adopting a healthy lifestyle, we can effectively manage weight.
4. Increased energy and vitalityA healthy lifestyle can lead to increased energy levels. Good nutrition and regular exercise improve metabolism and ensure the body functions more efficiently, resulting in more energy throughout the day.
5. Improved sleep qualityBy making small lifestyle adjustments, such as reducing caffeine intake or being mindful of when you drink it, being more mindful of screen time before bed, and creating a regular sleep routine, you can improve sleep quality. Sufficient, high-quality sleep is essential for recovery, cognitive function, and emotional stability.

Book a psychedelic session
Before booking a psychedelic session with us, we recommend completing the online intake form. This intake form is a crucial first step in the process, as it allows us to gain a good understanding of your medical and psychological background, as well as your personal goals and expectations. Completing the intake is not only a screening to determine whether you are suitable for the session, but it also provides the basis for the personalized advice we will give you in preparation for your experience.
After submitting your intake form, our professionals will carefully review it. You'll then receive an initial consultation in which we'll indicate whether a psychedelic session is suitable for you and which specific approach and dosage are best suited to your situation. This consultation is based on the information you've provided and is intended to help ensure a safe and positive experience.
Once you have received the advice and we confirm that you can participate in a session, you can reserve a date through our booking system.
