Tips on microdosing psilocybin?

[HopefulMan]

Hi everyone! I’m planning to start microdosing and have a few questions.

I’ll also be attending therapy. For the next few months, it will be regular therapy, followed later by a psychedelic-assisted session.

The microdosing is for a few months before the big session

My therapist recommended some supplements and dietary restrictions, saying they could make the microdosing more effective. Does anyone know whether there is good evidence for this? I’m generally skeptical of strict health recommendations, and I’d prefer not to give up coffee or follow a highly restrictive diet unless it’s genuinely necessary.

The supplements he recommended were Lion’s mane and inositol hexanicotinate (“flush-free niacin”)

He also suggested avoiding:
Dairy
Gluten
Sugary foods
Alcohol and other drugs
Coffee
Soda drinks

Are these restrictions genuinely necessary, or are they simply optional recommendations?

Thanks!
