Welcome to The Microdose Diet Podcast!

I'm Peggy Van De Plassche, your host, and I’m thrilled to bring you this transformative episode featuring the insightful Fatma Aktari. Fatma and I met at the Open:Minds Expo in Toronto last year, and we've since discovered a synergy between our approaches to mental and emotional wellness that is nothing short of life-changing.

Fatma is a seasoned facilitator of The Work of Byron Katie—a revolutionary process of self-inquiry designed to untangle the deeply ingrained thoughts and beliefs that hold us back. Today, she joins me to discuss how The Work can be integrated with The Microdose Diet to produce profound shifts in mental health, relationships, and overall life satisfaction.

?? The Big Takeaway: Self-Inquiry + Microdosing = Exponential Growth

Combining The Work with the Microdose Diet is a powerful approach to tackling the challenges we face in our day-to-day lives. Here’s why this combination is so impactful:

• Accelerated Emotional Healing: Microdosing helps calm the nervous system, making it easier to confront and release emotional baggage.
• Enhanced Mental Clarity: The process of self-inquiry allows us to see past conditioning and habitual thought patterns. When coupled with microdosing, this clarity is deepened, enabling faster and more lasting change.
• Better Relationships: As Fatma shared, she was able to have difficult conversations with her husband and set healthy boundaries at work—transforming both her professional and personal life.
• Reduced Anxiety and Stress: Microdosing naturally reduces cortisol levels, and The Work helps neutralize the beliefs that trigger anxiety and stress responses.

??♀? Practical Example: How The Work Helped Me Rewire My Thoughts

To give you a clear idea of how transformative The Work can be, Fatma guided me through a real-life situation where I was struggling with a difficult relationship. We uncovered a core belief that was coloring my perception of the other person, creating unnecessary tension and stress.

By the end of our session, I could see how that belief wasn’t entirely true—and how it had been impacting not just that relationship but many others. This clarity was a game-changer for me, opening up new ways of interacting that felt more authentic and less reactive.

?? Microdosing + Self-Inquiry: A Game-Changing Combination

The insights gained through The Work are powerful, but what makes them even more impactful is integrating these insights into everyday life. This is where microdosing comes in. By calming the nervous system and enhancing emotional resilience, microdosing supports the process of self-inquiry, making it easier to confront difficult emotions and rewire thought patterns.

If you’re ready to experience more balance, less stress, and a deeper sense of self-empowerment, I invite you to consider how this approach could work for you.
